“We are doing something no one has done with 3-D,” Herzog says.

... He's going to use it to document PAINTINGS, a more-or-less 2-D medium. I love this guy!

Disappointing. 3D is for children.

Sure, now it is. But peanuts probably would have been as underused as pistachios without George Washington Carver. 3-D has always had the potential to grow beyond its roots as a shock and awe tactic for kids, maybe this is it's moment!

Why am I pushing this point to a film dude? I must be plum loco.

Is this the most profound analogy ever uttered on the FOT Board?

Any one of the films in it would be worth that much and more by themselves.
