Osi,

I believe 3-D adult XXX movies are being prepared for eventual home viewing as we speak,luckily the scratch & sniff craze of the 80's didnt catch on!!!

Patrick,

It's interesting to see Technicolor revive the 'over/under' 35mm system for Celluloid only cinemas, good luck with your installation if you go ahead.

3D will be here to stay when we can view movies in 3D without glasses.

As much as Avatar has taken, it is nowhere near the all time most popular films due to the premium price on the 3D tickets.

The current 3D will be a part of the industry for a while, but already people are complaining about having to wear glasses for movies that are not speial events like Avatar.

As to digital 3D being better than the old film 3D, I have five words as an answer; see it in IMAX 3D. It is simply incredible.

David,
I wondered if you have seen 'Avatar' in 70mm ('15-70') film at an enormous screen IMAX cinema? If so, it would answer recent questions that can be seen in the 'Avatar' thread. I think it can be seen in this format but the use of the term IMAX in relation to 3D presentations on much smaller screens is causing confusion.
