P3D 3d Benefits all Movies? How about Color?

[fj834@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Dr. George A. Themelis)]

Larry, please read the following statement and tell me what is
wrong with it:

"I'd prefer all movies to be in color regardless of
some limited, subjective determination of whether or not it benefits
thereby. In my mind being in color is a benefit all to itself and has 
nothing to do with whether or not the movie benefits by the color. Of 
course it benefits, and just maybe some story factor is enhanced too. 
That would be a desirable extra. The prime benefit of colored movies is 
that my eyes are wired for color and I appreciate a movie that provides 
for the human sensory input system. ANY movie not in color therefore 
fails to be fully what it could be. I don't need the color aspects to 
be super spectacular just for purposes of justification of the medium. 
Biology is sufficient justification. Special effects that are well 
done are frosting on the cake."

Sounds kind of an extreme, doesn't it?

When they finally find a good way to convert movies to 3d, I can imagine
Larry first in line to depth-ize the old movies... And the "politically-
correct" crowd trying to stop him from altering the classics.  "Let the
movies stand the way their creators made them"...
