showing his young sons (too young for an old geezer) stereo views of bad
guys shot up bodies. Of course, he's too cool to actually look at them
himself before he hands them over to the boys, which I think would be the
natural thing to do. In this subtle way, you can see that 3d is marginalized
again to an activity for children. Or, you could say that the fact that 3d
existed long before ViewMaster is brought out in this movie is a good thing.
I doubt that the general public realizes this, and any publicity in this
area is a good thing.>>
I didn't see anyone mentioning this one, but I saw a 3D reference in the
'South Park' movie. The kids are doing a commando-style surveillance of a
military base, and one of them uses a View-Master as binoculars, changing
the view a few times (this would be a standard VM, not a Discovery
viewer/binoc)...whether this movie would be good publicity for 3D is
strictly up to the viewer.
