#15: See a Movie in 3D

Weird that I am 25 in the year 2010 and last night was the first time I have ever seen a movie in 3D. But it doesn't matter when, it just matters that you do it. So, my technologically/scientifically inept butt finally made its way to an IMAX screen to watch Alice in her adventure through Wonderland. Avatar can suck it (if I weren't typing I would do one of those vulgar hand motions that go with that line, I'm in that kinda mood).
Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland is the most beautiful tale for the off-beat adventure seeker. The story appreciates weird and promotes escaping reality. Tim Burton's scary and odd take on the tale was eye-opening. I sat in the theater wide-eyed with a big dumb grin on my face. I know, I know. I usually look this way, but I was horribly hungover and that big dumb grin felt like I was lifting fat babies with my cheeks.

The 3D experience was fun. It would be better if I did drugs. But, all in all, I was impressed. I had the constant need to lift my hand and touch all the odd things flying at me. I refrained for the sake of the 12 kids next to me and their parents who probably would have thought I was on E. The movie wasn't so crazy that I wanted to puke after the ride. It was the perfect amount of 3D for a beginner. So, would I do it again? Yes. Was it everything I hoped for and more? Eh.

Oh! Before I forget. I have one issue with this 3D stuff. What's up with not accommodating the Nerdy McNerdersons who don't wear contacts? I mean, how am I going to wear my prescription glasses and the 3D glasses at the same time??? This really was a big problem until I discovered I lost my glasses. I am thinking of 3D-Bifocals? Amen.

  2. I like that you went there. It makes me love you. Not like I didn't already.
