3D OR NOT TO 3D:

Lately I have been noticing a tendency for movies to start trending to the 3d thing. Like someone quipped though the whole idea seems to be “instead of making a good movie let’s make it in 3d so people will want to watch it. Instead of trying to make a quality product these people are trying to use gimmickry to draw in viewers.
Now don’t et me wrong here! There are good movies being made in 3d format, And I look forward to seeing some of them, but I prefer the good old 2d method for a couple of reasons. One they are cheaper. the theaters have taken this gimmickry and used it to make more money then they do with 2d formats by charging you a rental fee for the 3d glasses you use. And they don’t care if you save your glasses and bring them back to watch another 3d movie, they will still charge you the extra 3 bucks for the glasses anyway.

To me this seems like a scam. Why would they do this? Except to make extra money off the moviegoers. They don’t seem to realize that the economy is not booming right now, and they ought to.
All their sales are in a slump, that is probably one of the reasons they charge more, to try to make up the difference.
But they think (I guess) that the reason people aren’t going is a lack of gimmicks when the real reason is a lack of funds. So raising rates is NOT going to solve the problem, it will make it worse! What they need to do is to make the movies more affordable so people can get out and see them without spending all their rent money.

Why pay an extra charge when, in three months your whole fam can see it for less then the cost of the silly glasses! THAT is why they feel that they have to stick the customer with an extra charge! UGH!!!

Love you!! :)
