In a message, Roland Lataille rants:

3D movies begin with the _artist_, then the _camera_.

> No new 3-D
>cameras are made. Right?

WRONG!  Both still cameras AND movie cameras are built in 3D!  Some are
cheap; some aren't.  Have you not seen the 3-lensed 3D Magic (a "disposable")
which produces lenticular prints?  It is aimed at the mass market.  You fail
to understand that some of us are not interested in mass markets, nor
"snapshots" (crapshots).

>So, lets get people interested in 3-D
>movies. What if each of you was to buy one or more movies from Shawn Smith
>(they are only $25 each!).... >Roland Lataille

Mary! Take a Valium!  ;-)

Why don't you spend YOUR money your way, and I'll spend mine MY way?  In your
enthusiasm, you fail to understand that Shawn is not _creating_ anything!
 The artists who create the movies, and the producers, etc. are not
benefitting monetarily from their work.  This does NOT encourage them to
create more of their art for the consumer.  It does encourage them to sue,
however.

Just relax, take a few deep breaths, and lie down
with a cold Realist film chip on each eyelid.
