A Day With Hidden Depth

This article is hardly apple related, but to keep this blog eclectic, I would like to commemorate today, April ninth as the day when three dimensional (3-D) films had their big debut. The movie is called “Man In The Dark” and although it isn’t the first successful 3-D film, it is the birthplace of its popularity. The movie didn’t get good reviews from anyone, but it did begin a cyclone of 3-D hits such as the movie immediately following, “House Of Wax” which was shown in theaters merely two days later. “House Of Wax,” the Warner Bros film was given better reviews and similarly claimed bragging rights over first 3-D film produced by a large studio. One of their first tag lines read, “You’ve never been scared until you’ve been scared in 3-D!” So, now lets have a toast to 3-D, and its fine work.
