Two or Three

I want to see Up, but the question is, how many dimensions?

Do I want TWO dimensions or do I want THREE dimensions?

Man, I remember the days when we had only one dimension. We gathered around the radio listening to our stories and then when the talkies came out, our minds were blown. Now it’s about three dimensions! That newfangled third dimension!

Listen, three dimensions seem a bit over the top. Soon, there’ll be FOUR dimensions! When will it stop? FIVE dimensions? We’ll see things in space, time, and like love or something? Laughter? Warm feelings? When we hit SIX dimensions, shit will be totally stupid. Movies will exist as shrimp chips. I say shrimp chips because it has a lot of MSG, which you know “expresses” umami, the sixth flavor.

Anyway point is, TWO or THREE. I mean normally I’d say of course do it in THREE because why do TWO when you can do THREE? But I watched Coraline in THREE and thought it was unnecessary to have the third especially since they didn’t make much use of it animation-wise. But the people at Pixar don’t suck at all so they might make the third really tasty. TASTY 3d. The D stands for chocolate, don’t ask me where they got the D from. It’s a mystery.

    Didn’t want to post a “well actually…”

    … but well actually, Umami is the 5th flavor. At least that’s what NPR tells me. And NPR never lies.

    Maybe the 6th dimension could be the “Point Guard” dimension for the 6th person on a basketball team?

    Crap… only 5 on a basketball team. Better make it the “Setter” dimension, for a volleyball team.

    Did some one say 3D projection of a four-dimensional hypercube performing a simple rotation about a plane which bisects the figure from front-left to back-right and top to bottom….Shit, all you had to was ask!

    See it in 2-D. I saw it in 3-D and it wasn’t really worth it. It added some extra depth to the picture but there weren’t really any “special” 3-D effects. There were a few times in the movie when I took off my glasses and there were almost no blurry spots in the picture. Plus, the colors in this movie are fantastic but the glasses make the colors look somewhat dull.

    I saw Up in 3-D this weekend. You know where the 3-D really shines in Up? The sad parts. The 3-D really adds a certain OH WAIT IT DOES NOT
