The current obsession with 3D movies is doing my head in. The Sun reported yesterday that the next Bond film has delayed shooting because they’re going to film it in 3D. I suppose there’s probably a market for a three-dimensional Daniel Craig (or random Bond girl, I guess), but personally I’d rather they spent the extra months fine-tuning the script. [The Sun]

But for movies like Bond? Forget it. You’re right, focus on the script and acting, because the last few have sucked hard.

Wednesday, January 13, 2010 at 4:30 PMi think 3d actually puts you into the world, makes a hell of a difference, i hope all movies try to develop on and enhance 3d movies,
it actually makes the movies a difference experience again

Wednesday, January 13, 2010 at 4:50 PMNot just concentrate on the script but also get a decent director who doesn’t edit action scenes all to hell. I have no idea what was going on for the first 10 minutes of Quantum of Solace. Unfortunately the Bond name still draws crowds but the owners of the franchise mistake this for approval for the latest crap they have dished up.
The last 2 Bond films are the only ones I have seen only once. Even the cheesy Roger Moore stuff is better.
Avatar was designed for 3D, Bond is not.

Wednesday, January 13, 2010 at 8:26 PMI’ve got it! If they could just hire a different guy, then the scriptwriter could tune the script AT THE SAME TIME as the new guy does the 3D!
I have these flashes of brilliance sometimes.
