Here’s something the world could do without, but won’t: A 3D “Titanic”

I’m not a big fan of 3D. I thought it was a fad when it became all the rage in the 1950s and I still think it’s a passing fancy today. I will admit I enjoyed seeing Avatar in 3D Imax, but that’s about it.

One thing it doesn’t take a genius to realize, however, is that for a film to have any chance of working in 3D, it has to be filmed in 3D. That’s why I’m less than enthusiastic about James Cameron’s announcement that he will launch a 3D version of Titanic on the 100th anniversary of the ship’s sailing, next April 6. I, for one, won’t be on board.
