Is "because we can" a good enough reason to actually do something? |

Luicasfilm has announced that they will be converting the Star Wars movies to 3D.
Not to be outdone, Cameron has said he'll convert Titanic to 3D.
Colorizing movies was a bad idea when Ted Turner did it with the MGM library and this seems a bad idea, too.

5. Actually, you can thank the pornbiz for a lot of the technology we enjoy on the intertubes today. |

They had the money to develop it and developing it was in their best interest.

7. I'm not convinced they *can* convert those to 3D |
|
The space effects shots, certainly - I fully admit I'd love to see the opening shot from Episode 4 in properly-done 3D - but anything filmed with the actors can only get a really awkawrd approximation unless they reshoot everything.

9. As if 3D didn't look fake to begin with! I agree 100% right along with colorized pastel movies. nt |
