Is 3D Still Cool?

GeekSugar — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 15:30:58 -0700

Even though 3D is popping up everywhere - from the Jonas Brothers to Monsters vs. Aliens - you have to think: is 3D really that cool? An article from Slate conjectures that it's actually not - even reducing it simply to "It hurts your eyes. Always has, always will."

Thinking about it, it's not the same kind of technological advancement on par with high definition. It's kinda fun, but I also remember how cool I thought the 3D Captain Eo was at Disneyland in the '80s. . . and it's like, we're still jazzed on the same thing?

What do you think? Should filmmakers keep integrating it into movies and "experiences," or is it a novelty that's coming to an end?

Well, what do we have here? A compilation book full of hot geek men, Geeky Dreamboats: A Celebration ($13)?!

I'll be taking a copy for myself, plus several copies for my girlfriends, thank you very much.

Michale Cera, Adam Brody, Flight of the Conchords? Yes, I have crushed on all of these men (I'm willfully ignoring the Jonas Brothers inclusion).

It sounds like your TV isn't the only thing that's being permanently upgraded to digital - movie theaters will also be getting the digital conversion treatment!

Five Hollywood studios are going to help pay the bill to outfit theaters with digital equipment, which will cost over 1 billion dollars and convert about 20,000 movie screens.

What do we get besides crisp, clear images? 3D access, baby! There's at least one Jonas Brothers concert lined up in 3D so you better get your glasses on.

Natasha Bedingfield Gets Down With Boogie Superstar

GeekSugar — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 10:08:21 -0700

EA announced yesterday that Natasha Bedingfield will be the official spokesperson for their newest singing and dancing game called Boogie Superstar. Why Superstar? Well, the fact that there are 40 new tracks by stars like The Jonas Brothers, Fall Out Boy, Leona Lewis, Katy Perry, my man Kanye, and of course Natasha herself, makes it a pretty big deal. Exclusively for your Wii system, Boogie Superstar is like a DDR/Singstar mash-up that not only has you showing off your vocal prowess, but uses the Wii's motion sensing technology to have you perform a sweat-inducing dance routine as well.

You could play alone in your room, but why not battle it out with your buds to see who can outperform who on Paula Abdul's new track? It will be like American Idol in your own living room, minus the crazy judges. Limber up and start your voice lessons now, cause Boogie Superstar will hit the shelves this October!
