Designer and Prescription 3-D Glasses to be Available Soon

How not cool is this!

we just keep creating these stupid technologies that will eb our downfall.

Gucci 3D Glasses... unless they also make popcorn and cost 15 dollars no thanks. Designer SUNGLASSES cost enough, let alone ones that you can only use at 3D movies.

Who the fuck still wears glasses? Fat nerds that think contacts are clear Skittles? Prententious twats that believe a pair of faux wire-rims make them more intelligent? Old people that don't watch shitty 3D films? A hand people with terrible astigmatism that can't afford expensive toric lenses? Yeah, I can see a real demand for this crap.

Unless they're going to market 3D-compatible contacts, this has less than zero of a chance to actually work.

Fuck the glasses and fuck the 3D. We're sick of the goddamned gimmicks! Give us good films. Take your money-grubbing greedy godawful puke 3D movies, lube them up with Crisco, insert them into your anus with a pair of rusty pliars, and ram your spleen and colon till they both burst.

those real-d glasses you put on now ARE FUCKIN TERRIBLE

-handful of-

"those real-d glasses you put on now ARE FUCKIN TERRIBLE"

You can't handle wearing a pair of paper glasses for 90 minutes? It's that big of an inconvenience?

Man, I tell you, the fall of civlization is going to be a real bitch for most people.

^mm hmm

WOW.

Somers spitting in the faces of trained medical professionals.

Now this?

I'm going suicidal.

See, they have this brilliant plan to take all of our money. It's a genius plan really. Look at home video. They started with lumbersome VHS and BetaMax. They sold both. Boom. They killed BetaMax, so people with that shit had to buy VHS. Then they suckered people into LaserDisc, a format they knew would go nowhere but the fucking landfill. They pumped the masses into filling shelves full of VCR cartridges, shit that will take a hundred years to completely bury, and a billion to bio-degrade.

Then they shoved DVD on us, far better media for sure, but they marketed it as "all you'll ever need". We again bought into their rhetoric. There's a trillion DVD's in the world, and they're all headed to the landfill right next to all those VHS, BetaMax and LaserDisc tapes. Boom.

Then it was BluRay versus HDDVD. People bought one or the other, or both. Boom Overnight, HDDVD was obsolete, all the while the Circuit City cocksuckers were 'discounting' by sale now absolutely useless HDDVD discs. They made it look like generosity. Bastards.

So now we have BluRay, the 'ultimate' in home entertainment, or so we were told. But now they start to tell us we will need more. Something 'new' is once again on the horizon. You just spent a million dollars upgrading to BluRay and a Plasma HD tv? Well, fuck you consumer. You've now got to buy a 3D TV and repurchase all your 'old' BluRay movies in 'high definition 3D'. This is what's coming. I'll bet you.

And then, after that, something else. This isn't progress. It's capitalistic assembly line extortion, by playing on people's shallowness and vanity. And it makes me sick.

STOP WITH THE "WELL GUISE VHS WAS TEH SAEM WAY!!!" BECAUSE HOLLYWOOD TRIES THIS EVERY 30 YEARS.

IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, PEOPLE DON'T CARE ABOUT 3-D.

The 50's was the introduction of 3-D, and it was everywhere, but it didn't last, people soon became wary of it and it became a gimmick.

The 80's introduced a flow of 3-d shit, from comic books back to the silver screen. did it last? no.

here we are again, almost arriving at 2010 with promises of 3-D tv's and 3-d this and that. The majority of people do not agree with it, so it will not last.

Bullshit. It'll happen if they, the companies, say so. It'll happen if people start buying it. It'll happen because people are fucking stupid and trendy and feel they must always have the lastest and greatest, even if the latest and greatest is a fucking rip-off.

You act as if films Like Transformers 2 didn't make hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars. People will waste money on shit because

1. they're bored

2. they have excess money.

3. they're stupid.

QED

This is *REAL* 3D, not the anaglyph shit that was around 30 and 50 years ago. Big difference. It's a technological milestone, and it has a far better chance of penetrating the entertainment market than that goofy red and blue crap from decades ago. You need to realize this.

Yeah...

This idea is pretty Lohan.

Though I do agree with mink, in that, I believe its absolute bullshit that regardless of what your home entertainment setup is, it will NEVER be up to date. I'll go over and buy the newest biggest greatest 800,000p HD Dolby digital surround 76.5 fucking mess of a unit, for a gajillion dollars, and in the time it takes me to unwrap it and set it up, it will be well on it's way to being obsolete. Where I disagree though, is that im 50/50 im somewhat for it because I would really like to see where they can take this technology and what they can do with it, especially in your home, Im really interested in stereoscopic televisions.. Does that mean ill ever buy one? Probably not... 1080p on a 46" is way more than enough for me... I don't believe that everybody that's buying into the media is retarded, i believe that there is a lot of ignorance associated to it, but if it wasn't for those ignorant people, we probably wouldn't have the kind of technology that we have, at our fingertips, at the touch of a button so to speak.. So on one side I don't like the man sucking hard earned money out of folks over mindless new ways to sit on your fat ass, but at the same time I appreciate those mindless fat ass people... If any of that makes any sense... Ive never been good at writing....

Holodiscs are pretty cool too... I think I heard someone mention those on one of the threads here and looked into them there afterward...

That sounds like the newest thing... Probably have an entire playable library on one disc and movie rentals and buying DVD'S will be done online.. That makes sense right... You can sell a DVD for less than half the price if you cut out distribution and packaging etc.

Since 99% of movie goers are getting there films online as it is anyways, it seems like a more logical choice. Who knows it may even help piracy issues?...

You never know.. 10 years my TV AND my video store will be obsolete.

No offense to you Triggax, so pardon my rant. I'm in a mood.

" but if it wasn't for those ignorant people, we probably wouldn't have the kind of technology that we have, at our fingertips, at the touch of a button so to speak.."

And that's made the world and the people therein better? Space exploration betters mankind. Gene therapy betters mankind. Stem cell research and sub-orbital flight betters humanity.

HD TV where I can see ALL of Amy Winehouse's rotten teeth isn't a betterment to the human race. It's a nauseating fascination with novelty and a perfecting of the technology of mental zombification.

I don't need to see the pores on Tom Cruise's face to understand the plot of Mission Impossible 3. I don't need to hear the THX-enhanced, sixty speaker echo of a rain drop to know what sound it makes. I don't need goofy glasses and CGI insects hurtling at me in 3D to get the picture, understand the story and enjoy the film. This isn't like adding SOUND to a motion picture. This is bilking people out of more money by tricking them into thinking their lives are more complete by owning the 'latest' in entertainment technology.

Do I really need a widescreen cellphone? Do I really need music constantly pumped into my ears via an expensive and easily stolen IPod, just so Apple can laugh their asses off telling you how cool you are by giving life a 'soundtrack', while they peruse their thick stock portfolio in Malibu?

Life doesn't need a soundtrack. It isn't a fucking amusement ride. If that's how people are going to live it, then they should just fucking die. I don't need to be connected to hundreds of assholes I wouldn't share a beer with or invite to dinner. Fuck Facebook and Myspace. I don't need a cellphone with a thousand contacts so I can get bombarded by incessant chatter from 30-something morons that still think they're 14. Fuck Twitter. Like the world really wants or needs to hear every chirp half a billion people call a thought.

All this technology that people are paying for with their lives isn't making us better people. It's making us more shallow, more detached and less capable of giving a shit about the things that genuinely matter.

I mean, hey fuck your kids, just give 'em a PSP and they can wander around for hours. No need to actually parent. Look at me, I've got a 50-in plasma TV with BluRay. I can watch the Jefferson's till I puke in fucking high definition. Moving on up, to the east side!

No need for me to go out and play ball or read a book. Hell no! And you can own it all in 60 easy payments of 500 dollars a piece. It's just your life, after all. No price is too high to just waste it away.

"but critics are not sure about the future of stereoscopic filmmaking."

And neither is anyone with a brain.

@ mink..there not paper...there plastic...clunky as hell...and you have terrible view..meaning the lense part of the glasses are tiny.

The ones I have are paper with small plastic sheets that you can't even call a lens because they down't magnify dick. They're not even filters. They're just colored shrink wrap in cereal box frame.

"No offense to you Triggax, so pardon my rant. I'm in a mood."

None taken

I absolutely agree with you 100%... part of me unfortunately is ignorant...

But you are right, you're very very right, unfortunately.

You're not ignorant. You're like me and everbody else. Seduced by the siren song of technology, of the promise to escape the difficulties of life if only we shell out enough money.

Reminds me of indulgences. Way back when, hundreds of years ago, you could pay the keepers of the gate, the Catholic clergy, to absolve your sins and grease up the pathway to heaven.

We do the same thing today, but we've replaced the clergy with corporations and heaven with ignorant bliss on earth.

That's how I see it anyway.

I enjoy 3D films so I'm cool with this. I have a really nice pair that cost me $100. It works in conjunction with a laser that sits atop the computer and a prgoram that shakes the screen into left and right images. Excellent for gaming.

You paid 100 bucks for a 3D glasses??

That old adage is still so true. A fool and his money are soon parted.

sure, that must be why people are constantly banging down my door wanting to play on my computer.

it's a hell of alot better than what theatres offer. And it's fun (see Webster's for a definition)...

Triggax controls all the world banks and is to blame for all our money problems

I'd pay 100 dollars for a hot clean hooker, not for a pair of retarded glasses for the neigborhood virgins. No offense.

"sure, that must be why people are constantly banging down my door wanting to play on my computer."

The image in my mind of a bunch of bored, lonely desperate kids beating down a door, just to play with an expensive gimmick has 'comic tragic' written all over it.

Hey! That maybe they can make that into the first good (but somewhat ironic) 3D film.

It's just a psychedelic toy. $100 is chump change. Most of that is the cost of the rendering program, i'm sure.

3-D killed Swayze

I have yet to even see a movie that is 3D in the theaters, the first one I see will probably be Avatar. Spoiled teenage girls are the only ones I see this being a market for. I will just use the ones the theater provides.

1st 3D I saw was an IMAX - Back to the Cretaceous T-Rex thing. The movie sucked... but the 3D was exceptional.

'3-D killed Swayze' - LOL!

"Triggax controls all the world banks and is to blame for all our money problems"

I dont even know what to say to that man..
Because i made ONE slanderous joke about jews, you're going to throw out every slanderous and far more offensive than i've been comment that you can come up with after i've commented on a thread?

Whats progressive about that man....

Like i said im not trying to be a dick, but at this point with me literally using the term "Fucking Jew" you've managed to deteriorate an entire "race" to a number of over used stereotypes...

How am i the prejudice in this case?

What you're doing doesn't help the situation. Im a reasonable guy and im not out to offend but you're making an ass out of yourself and your religion.

"The ones I have are paper with small plastic sheets that you can't even call a lens because they down't magnify dick. They're not even filters. They're just colored shrink wrap in cereal box frame."

Terrible... They can pump 300 trillion dollars into the progression of 3D cinema, yet, im stuck at home with cardboard glasses that fall of every 17 seconds, have lenses made of rice paper and give me a blaring fucking headache..

Thats the biggest problem with 3D now-a-days..
I can download the latest 3D Films if I really wanted to.. problem with it is, You need a pitch black room with an 800" LCD or Plasma screen television in order to view it... What are the chances that even the rich that CAN view these films are going to be able to fight off the migraine..?...

As much as part of me thinks this is cool and fun and badass, a lot of me is saying, "I just want Stanley Kubrick not to be dead and for 3D to go away, my fucking head hurts"

Im so up in the air its frightening.

HA funny cause when I went to see Avatar preview in IMAX 3D I saw the glasses and put them on and was like "What the fuck these are annoying an hideous. Can we get some designer 3D glasses?!" I got a laugh out of the crowd and seemingly set this plan into effect! Be careful what you wish for I guess.

@minkowski, dude stfu! ur such a homo, u never have anything good to say on the forums, and yea alot of ppl still wear glasses including my self, and no im not a fat nerd u prick, i was gonna get contacts but they are a bitch to put in and take out every half hour

Who would have thought people would be so concerned about what they look like in the dark?

While designer seems to be taking it a bit far,I would love to see bigger 3D glasses. I have a big face as well as big glasses, and the RealD glasses hardly fit over them, it makes watching the movies a bit awkward.
But seriously? 3D glasses for the sake of how GOOD they look?
How fucking shallow a nation are we?

I know what you mean. I always have to watch 3d films without my eyeglasses. I watched Beowulf the 2nd time using the flexible eyeglass inserts for my gasmask that I kept from my army days, but I've lost them since.

"ur such a homo"

Yes, yes I am quite the homo sapien. Why thank you.

"u never have anything good to say on the forums"

Considering that I never post in the forum (this is a comment thread, not a forum), I'll take you claim at less than face value. Which is zero.

"i was gonna get contacts but they are a bitch to put in and take out every half hour"

The idea, is that the 3D capability is passive, so that you don't have to take them out every half hour. Do you understand that?

"and yea alot of ppl still wear glasses including my self"

I dunn what's worse, you still wearing glasses because you can't handle contacts, or you taking your frustration out on me because of the first fact.

@mink
I think you're actually being a little too bent towards contacts in all this. Personally, I prefer to wear glasses. Beyond this, some people CAN'T even wear contacts, they actually have to test your eyes to see if they can handle them. Contacts have actually been known to cut some people's eyes. Truth is, people still wear glasses and it's a real problem with the RealD technology that should be fixed somehow.

you know it's not such a bad idea, just won't get one, but if 3d video games become available on the next gen video games, and i have me a 3d television, point is it's silly now because 3d isn't really part of everyday life, but if 3d, becomes that rmpant to the point where you can watch 3d stuff at home in your living room, or video games, I can see people getting a pair.

i stopped wearing contacts after one gave me an eye infection. Eyeglasses are much more comfortable and useful and cheaper.
