News: 2-D and grindhouse reign supreme

Back to plain old boring 2-D

            Hopefullyeveryone out there is content with watching movies in two dimensions, because thatthird one is about to cost even more.

            SonyPictures announced it’s sick and tired of footing the eye-wear bill for America’swaning love affair with 3-D and other studios could follow suit.

            Naturally,they’ve decided to pass the buck right along to theater chains. And if youthink for one second your local cinema can afford thousands and thousands ofcheap plastic glasses, you are sorely mistaken.

            Despite thelaughably high price tag on a bucket of popcorn, theaters aren’t exactlyrolling in the dough thanks to lopsided deals they made with the big Hollywood studios.

            So, theaterswill likely do what all good businesses do:  Screw over their customers by making themcustomers pay for it.

            The newsisn’t all bad. Maybe the higher prices will scare away enough customers tokill off 3-D for a second time. Only seven more revivals to go and we should berid of the hokey gimmick for good.

‘Grindhouse’ classics come to DVD

Sadly not this one...

            Sadly, noneof them are my beloved “Grindhouse: The Full Theatrical Experience.” One daythough, come on Tarantino and Rodriguez! Make it happen!

            Full MoonEntertainment, the studio behind the cheese-tastic “Puppetmaster” franchise,has gotten their mitts on the rights to some older grindhouse classics.

The plan is to release them uponthe world on Oct. 21, just in time for Halloween.

A quick glance at some of thetitles on the list has me convinced Oct. 21 might end up being Christmas forhorrible movie fans.

“Mutant Hunt,” “Necropolis” and “Zombiethon”are some of the highlights.

Check out some cover art here ortake a look at the full list here.
