Bigelow might have landed the Oscar, but Cameron’s the one whose film has made the biggest immediate impact to the industry. Is that incredible face-mapping technology getting unique and creative uses? Nope. Studios are just dictating that basically every movie be 3D, and they mean right this instant, not just films yet to be filmed. Already done shooting? They’ll just 3Dify it, which according to Michael Bay means that a third party takes the reels of film, wipes their ass with them, and then hands out the little glasses.

Herr Director Bay said: “I am trying to be sold, and some companies are still working on the shots I gave them. Right now, it looks like fake 3D, with layers that are very apparent. You go to the screening room, you are hoping to be thrilled, and you’re thinking, huh, this kind of sucks. People can say whatever they want about my movies [Note to attorneys: we have a go], but they are technically precise, and if this isn’t going to be excellent, I don’t want to do it. And it is my choice.”
