CE-Oh no he didn't!: Katzenberg says 'beautifully styled' 3D glasses won't make you look like a dweeb

Another day, another CEO with more lip gloss than brain matter. Jeffrey Katzenberg has been talking to USA Today on what seems to be his favorite topic these days, 3D, and telling us that the glasses ain't no big deal. After all, "many many many people" wear glasses -- that's three lots of many for those keeping count at home -- and the new and improved 3D appendages are so "beautifully styled" that he expects them to start popping up at your local optometrist right next to the sunglasses and designer eyewear isles. In fact, this dude's sipping the corporate firewater so hard, we half-expect him to tell us that 3D offers "very high value" for money or ... wait, he said that too? Alright, we give up.

WHO CARES! Seriously. When you are wearing these things its not as if you are outside your house, or sitting around in a circle chatting with friends. You are watching a damn movie or a football game. People need to get over their fracking selves. Oh wait. These are people who buy Apple products....so they are more interesting in style then function. Right.....never mind. *rolls eyes*

@John Doe
Like Smurf, you fell into the same trap. Its a magician's trick, which is all about misdirection. All these invested 3D tech people use 'style' as a misdirection because it works on some of you. Like here you are thinking people won't buy into 3D cause of style... really? You're not paying attention then.

@Hate Everything Really? I'm caught in a trap? You're the one who is misinformed here. I have been running a 3D Vision setup for more than a year. It works very well for games. Go play Battlefield Bad Company 2 in 3D Vision before you continue spreading your ignorance.

Why, oh why couldn't I have been stupid and obnoxious? Maybe then I could have made a fortune.

It's 'aisles' not 'isles' by the way. You never get more activity on the internet than when you make a grammer mistake, right? ;)

3D? Yawn. Call me when we have holographic TV.

3D will likely just stay a niche thing for gamers.

Anybody who thinks 3D will be compelling for live sports is deluding themselves. 3D TV actually distracts you from the game; imagine watching a baseball or football game in 3D. I'd rip the glasses off in frustration after two minutes of not being able to follow a play.

I asked someone in a movie theater what they thought of Alice in Wonderland because I thought they were still wearing the 3D glasses.

It turned out they were her actual glasses.

Does anyone else think that pushing at home 3D video with movies instead of games is the wrong way to go?

Looks like he decided to go for the max headroom model when he was picking out his three D glasses.

What the 3d companies arent telling you is that they have already thought ahead. They design these glasses to look tacky as shit so nobody could possibly want to steal them.

Well, i was at Cebit, and there were shitty displays that used glasses and there was some that didn't need glasses. But the far best, was a normal Philips TV which Fraunhofer did show off, the picture was good, no matter where you were standing, and if you were near the middle of it, you got 3D picture right out of the picture. Using a 2D to 3D tech. GIVE US THAT. And screw the glasses.
