CaveGirl Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Now this is a film that I enjoy but I would really enjoy it so much more in 3-D. I have all the glasses I've ever gotten so I can probably see it with them. Now I know this leaves the rest of you out, but I'm sure TCM could set up some tie-in promotion where one could buy glasses at MacDonald's. Whadda ya think?

Wine club members can knock the bottoms out of their empty Sauvignon blanc and Pinot noir bottles - use those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was fortunate to see this movie in 3D at the Emery Theater in Cincy back in the '90s. It was such an interesting experience, after having seen it only on TV before that. Even now, I can remember how thrilling it was, especially a certain scene involving a pair of scissors! Now I can't imagine watching it any other way.

I'd like to see, Dargo but I am wearing my own pair of Googly Eye glasses that I acquired during my misspent childhood. I'm not sure if they are technically Crazy Eyes, or Googly or whatever but here are some I found on Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/bhp/crazy-eye-glasses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better than that Andy Warhol film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get out your glasses, Kid for that really authentic for the time period, paddle ball sequence in "House of Wax".

Now I can't imagine watching it any other way. Because I've always viewed this film being somewhat claustrophobic because its scenes are mostly interior settings, I've never felt any great urge in seeing it in its original 3-D format. I would have thought this process would have been better served in use on more "open" or "outdoorsy" sagas. I guess I always felt it was superfluous for Hitchcock to have filmed this story in that format, and that he only did it because it had been a cinematic fad during the early-1950s. And so to read these positive takes on the 3-D version and the comments that it actually enhanced the viewing pleasure for some of you, I find interesting. Suppose I'll now have to see it in 3-D, someday. (...now, where can I get those glasses again?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahem...you obviously mean an '85 Oldsmobile Ciera, Kid. (...they changed the center armrest/cupholder design in '86, and so GM could claim their '86 model was "new and improved", ya know) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
