Erk!

Just clicked on link for The Hobbit movie, and discovered that Vue cinemas have it all ready set up in their Coming Soon section - in 3D. But not in not-3D. The only cinema listed on their site as showing it in 2D is in Birmingham.

This must, I hope, be a booking engine glitch? I have seen 1 film in 3D, and it was enough to convince me that I - never - want to see another one. 3D does baaaaad things to the strange part of my brain that becomes direly nauseous if given the illusion of motion while sitting still - the part that means I cannot play any first-person perspective computer game, or watch films that make extensive use of the 'shot on a hand held cam' conceit.

I want to see this film! I want to enjoy it! I do not want to have to take a bucket and spend the whole time squinting at it sideways!

Hmmm - I'd have to order fast though for them to get to the UK in time... I think I may just take the gamble that it's a booking system error. Surely they wouldn't want to annoy SO many people...?

As to the three films - I am SO on for that (particularly as I believe they are putting in much of the Appendices to LOTR as additional content). Even having to watch in 3D will probably not prevent me from going...

I hope it is! You'll have to tell me how well they do; I suppose Appendices material is a good reason for 3 films.
