P3D Re: anaglyph 3-D at film fest in Louvre?

I just found the following in alt.movies.monster


>>Comme l'Ècrivait Dwight Macpherson <dam!@xxxxxxxxxxx> :


There was recently a 3D flicks festival at the Louvre (yes, just two
or three staircases away from Mona Lisa!!!). I attended a double
program of "It came from outer space" and "Creature from the black
lagoon". Bonus: a russian "Robinson Crusoe" filmed in 1947, using a
different method for 3d rendering (not blue and red glasses, but grey
ones with polarising lenses). "Robot monster" was scheduled, but it
was canceled 1 or 2 days before screening: what a heartbreak!

Anyway, that was great. I was happy to see so many people queing for
the films.

Could it be that the film fest ran the inferior anaglyph versions of "It
Came from Outer Space" and "Creature from the Black Lagoon"?  And could
it be that people are so unfamiliar with polarized 3-D that it is
referred to as a "different" method?

Both thoughts are depressing but not surprising.  When I saw "The Last
Buffalo" in Imax 3-D (Polarized, not LCD) a kid behind me
(disappointedly) said to his friend before the film started "This can't
be 3-D, the glasses aren't red and blue".
