WHY THIS WHOLE 3D BUSINESS IS STARTING TO OFFEND

The new Clash of the Titans hits theaters this weekend in 3D — not because the filmmakers wanted it that way, but because Warner Bros. could charge more for it. Which is just plain wrong.
Listen, Hollywood, I know that we’re in a recession and theatrical attendance is down, and you’re all gaga over Avatar’s titanic bottom line — which was undeniably goosed by the fact that moviegoers had to pay extra to see it in 3D. But, you know, this is starting to get silly.
Clash of the Titans boasts some of the worst 3D of the modern age. Remember that 3D episode of Chuck? Better than this. Why? Because it’s a movie that was shot in 2D, force-converted into 3D.
