3-D at Town Hall, NY

[P3D <MICHAEL_ANSTENDIG@xxxxxx>]

     This past Friday evening, Town Hall in New York City hosted Deborah 
     Harry (of Blondie fame) and the Jazz Passengers, doing a live 
     musical/voice soundtrack for a showing of excerpts from those 3-D 
     classics, "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" and "Plan 9 from Outer 
     Space."
     
     Sounds cool, huh?  While definitely offbeat, the 3-D movie excerpts 
     were not very impressive.  Maybe the screen was too small, maybe the 
     images were old and musty, maybe you're supposed to wear those silly 
     blue/red glasses in front (or behind?) your prescription glasses.    
     
     Was anyone else at this august event?  Is this typical of 3-D movies 
     from the 50s or was this just a clumsy execution?
     
     It's good to see 3-D at such a mainstream venue, although associating 
     it was extremely cheesy subject matter doesn't advance the art form.  
     Everyone had fun, though.  
     
     (If you're wondering, Debbie Harry looked good.  She's a brunette, 
     wears glasses sometimes and no longer sports a model's physique.  
     While no longer the dangerous femme fatale of the '80s, her voice and 
     articulation are particularly well-suited to jazz.  She can still move 
     and croon with the best of them!)
