Monster Chiller Horror Theatre!! Walter Murch Hates 3D!!

The endless debate about 3D continues. I had an interesting conversation yesterday with one of my sales reps about 3D and their plans for their 3D TVs this year, so by incredible coincidence, Roger Ebert's Blog had a letter from esteemed editor and sound designer Walter Murch about why he thinks 3D will fail.

When Walter speaks, it's worth listening.

Two non-related notes. First - everyone should read Roger Ebert's Blog. It is most excellent, and is the only web site in the known universe that has intelligent comments from readers.

Second - I had the most surreal Walter Murch experience a few years ago at NAB at the Final Cut SuperMeet. Walter was the guest speaker, and while I have immense respect for him as a editor/sound designer, he is a pretty boring public speaker. But, after his talk, he helped out on the Raffle. Watching Walter Murch read out raffle ticket numbers to a room full of 1000 screaming people is something I won't forget anytime soon. You had to be there.
