Interesting to see some of the people on CML vehemently rejecting that
LA Times article. Of course the most vociferous are those who are
working as stereographers and the like..
I keep thinking of the way 3D pop-up books haven't taken over book
publishing. Similarly, take a look at what has taken over book
publishing to get a look at where film's headed. Hint: It ain't 3D.
Perhaps 3D like tiramisu: fun to consume once in a long while, but
hardly a staple of our (media) diet.
