You've got to remember: I worked on Piranha 2 for a few days and got fired off of it; I don't put it on my official filmography. So there's no sort of fond connection for me whatsoever. In fact, I would go even farther and say that... I tend almost never to throw other films under the bus, but that is exactly an example of what we should not be doing in 3-D. Because it just cheapens the medium and reminds you of the bad 3-D horror films from the 70s and 80s, like Friday the 13th 3-D. When movies got to the bottom of the barrel of their creativity and at the last gasp of their financial lifespan, they did a 3-D version to get the last few drops of blood out of the turnip. And that's not what's happening now with 3-D. It is a renaissance-right now the biggest and the best films are being made in 3-D. Martin Scorsese is making a film in 3-D. Disney's biggest film of the year-Tron: Legacy-is coming out in 3-D. So it's a whole new ballgame.
It's interesting to hear him hate on Piranha 3D. Avatar is the biggest gimmick there is.

I happen to love Friday the 13th 3-D. I think it was the best one. What's he talking about?
ReplyDeleteThat is funny. It' like people arguing art vs crap.
ReplyDeleteIt is a gimmick V. Sometimes I feel like Stan and I are the only ones who see it. Nice to know there are a few other people who can see through the hype.
