3D is dead.

Well that didn't take long. Looks like Hollywood has finally come to
it's senses with regards to 3D film making. It seems the fad is over
and they have decided to revert most movies currently in production
back to 2D. The next Batman movie is the one that's turning the tide
in favour of common sense. Tron Legacy is another one, going from 3D
everywhere to just in IMAX screens. I reckon it's partly because the
fad has died down, partly because nobody is going to be stupid enough
to sit at home wearing goggles just to watch TV, and partly because of
the cost of changing all the projection systems in cinemas to 3D.
There is hope, after all.

The only 3D movie I've seen recently was Avatar. I know you didn't have a good experience with it but I thought it was good. The 3D wasn't in your face all the time. They used it for some things but not others. Overall I thought it did make the movie better.
Having said that, there is no way in hell that we'd be buying a 3D TV. Wearing goggles at home... piss off!

Interesting reading. Revenue from 3D is down 30% already: http://gizmodo.com/5592956/is-3d-already-dying?skyline=true&s=i

The non-separation of the LDS church and Utah state.

Look - I understand that mormons think gays are somehow evil, subhumans. I understand that the LDS won't tolerate gays, doesn't like them and thus won't marry them. But for local government to overturn a supreme court ruling about gay marriage is taking it too far. This is religious persecution on a par with the dark ages. The church doesn't like gays, so it leans on its members in government to do everything possible to prevent them from having the basic rights afforded other couples who want to marry. In other words, the LDS church is forcing it's (wrong) opinion about the LGBT community on everyone, via state and local laws that it has had passed and enforced on its behalf. Why should non-religious people be forced to abide by the opinion of a religious cult that they have no affiliation with? Apart from anything else, the uber-conservatives in this state are always the first ones to bitch when something even slightly unconstitutional happens, yet here they are r...

Employees don't want much

I'm sitting looking at my company's internal 'learning' system this morning - hundreds of online courses that are available to all employees, some of which we're mandated to take. I'm not sure why the rest of them exist. We certainly don't have time to do any of the courses, and for the average employee, they hold no relevance to what we do, or want to do in our day-to-day jobs. I for one just want to be assigned tasks, and then be left alone. I don't need to do hazardous material training - my job doesn't involve hazardous materials. I don't need micromanagement. I don't need all the various efficiency and ethics courses that are available because I have common sense. I don't need to be instructed how to use the email system, nor how 'just in time' manufacturing is good for the company (it has no bearing on our division). Ok I understand all of this is corporate C-Y-A but so many of these things are just inconsequential to us. On...
