It came from the past... 3-DThe Coolidge delves into stereoscopic history. George Lucas vows to add a new dimension to film. So are 3-D movies a relic or the next big thing?
By Ty Burr, Boston Globe Staff | June 5, 2005
There was nothing three-dimensional whatsoever about the recently released horror film ''House of Wax," least of all Paris Hilton's performance. But audiences who recall the 1953 original starring Vincent Price and Carolyn ''Morticia Addams" Jones, know that it was all 3-D -- the first big box-office success in the oddly random history of stereoscopic cinema.
Tongue planted firmly in cheek, the Coolidge Corner Theatre has exhumed "House" in all its sepulchral, eye-poking glory as the Friday opening salvo of its "Thrilling 3-D Film Festival."

"My characters are paper-thin, but look! 3-D!"There's no more smug and stupid man on a mission to mis-spend money (I'm talking movies, not politics) with a fraction of which any number of posters here without half trying could make a finer movie than he's capable.
I'm sure every respectible actor involved in the prequals wishes they'd demured. I'd be shocked to see any self-respecting actor sign up for future Lucas-directed projects.
The original House of Wax is campy fun, by the way. I saw it at Film Forum a coupla years ago. It was preceded by a hilarious preview of some 3-D Rock Hudson western.
I'll put up a pair of ANVZ interconnects for auction.:-)

...I saw the "Polar Express" in IMAX 3-D and it was pretty amazing. Too bad "Revenge of the Sith" wasn't shown in that format...
