  1. Do you mean an unblurry 3d instead of 2d? Because you don't need polarised glasses for 2d. If you meant 3d, then wearing polarized glasses won't do anything to make the 3d unblurry. It will still look blurry with one eye whilst wearing polarized glasses because each lens is different for each eye. http://science.howstuffworks.com/3-d-glasses2.htm In the above link, a person with one eye is only getting half the picture and it's still blurred. Okay so what I am saying is this: If you go see a 3D film without glasses the picture will be blurry, one eye or two eyes. It is blurry because they are projecting two different complete film images frame by frame that overlap. What the glasses do is break the films into a left and right channel. Polarization does this by cutting out specific light wave types. For 3D to work, you need two full images that are slightly shifted through the depth of field the way the binocular vision normally works; the polarized glasses will insure that Left-Image goes into Left Eye and Right-Image goes into Right Eye by cutting out the other image (which is at the wavelength the polarized lens cuts out). If done right your mind will put the two images together and create a depth of field - just as it does in everyday life where the "shift" of the angle of light creates the perception of depth. Therefore you should be able to - with one eye - watch a 3D movie using the glasses. It should look like a normal 2D presentation of a film. You should see the film based on one of the two displayed images, therefore the picture would be 2D to you but the key is that it shouldn't be blurry unless there is some other eye or perception issue at work as long as you are wearing the 3D glasses (and thus eliminating the second image from your eye's perception). Mind you if I had one eye, I wouldn't want to pay the extra $$$ to see a 3D screening, but that's a different issue entirely.
  2. No, not only do you need both eyes to see 3D but also both eyes need to be the same. The 3D effect doesn't work for me because my left eye isn't as good as my right eye. And one eye definitely doesn't work. I didn't say (or mean to imply) you could see 3d with one eye. What I meant was that a person with one eye, wearing polarized glasses should be able to watch an unblurry 2d version of the film. Sorry if I wasn't clear.
  3. Could be something else with his eyes than just the lack of vision in the one eye.
  4. I want more information before forming an opinion.
  5. ^weird, I would have thought wearing the glasses would have removed entirely the other image even with polarized lenses. In fact, looking it up online, that is supposed to be what happens. It'll look like a fuzzy mess to anyone watching it without glasses (same was true with red-green 3d) because there's nothing to cancel the double image.
  6. You're right, that called for a square response... No need for reflex responses...
  7. Technically, being a 90 degree angle, its neither acute nor obtuse but I guess "That's a right joke" didn't play in Peoria...
  8. My guess is all that stuff is from the pilot.
  9. Interesting, I'll see if I can get a chance to see either.
  10. I wasn't crazy about arrow, and flash has yet to completely hook me, But I liked the legends of tomorrow promo
  11. It reminds me of a somewhat better take on some of the ideas that were present in that wonder woman pilot a few years back.
  12. Not really seeing a familial resemblance (if that's intended by common last name).

    ^Where's William Shatner when you need him?
  14. Marvel is - more or less - ending their multiverse (as it is now). For about 6 months almost every title will be tied - in some way - to the new Battleworld that was created by Dr. Doom manipulating the end of the universe. Its my understanding that the Ultimates line will end and be incorperated into the new Marvel U. It is heavily rumored that the X-Titles will end up with their own universe to play with (whether it be a literal universe, their own planet, whatever) and FF is being split up for an unknown amount of time.
  15. Do you have any recomendations?
  16. I heard they made that bug a feature called peasant or ampersand or something*. See, because calling bugs with French terms kind of gives them this neat aura of legitimacy and us common people don't even know what it is about. Bloody France. * Disclaimer: I know it's called en passant. They wouldn't needed this rule if pawns had engagement and became sticky.
  17. The Inhumans were scared of it, thinking that it was an object that had been designed to kill Inhumans left by the Kree. SHEILD had it since the 50s and they generally seemed to be okay leaving it alone in its plastic box in the ship.
  18. ^IMDB says yes EDIT: New Crimson Peak Trailer:
  19. First one was while he was still a cop; thugs kill his wife and kid and his best friend and he tracks the gang down.
  20. Yeah...a little dissapointed. I've already seen the Josie and the Pussycats film. I don't know, not seeing the movie, but there was originally a plan to do an animated movie called Furiosa that would have been about Charlize Theron's character, primarily. Some people have assumed this is a live action version of that script, but I've been told it isn't, that that story would have been a prequel to this one. But until I see it, can't say how the film actually shapes up.
  21. ... it's right below the youtube link. Yeah, total fail on my part. I'd blame the formating on the page that wedged the video and the link together on my window, but...mea culpa.
  22. ^ you can also read her article if you don't want to listen to a 30 min video. http://metaleater.com/video-games/feature/why-feminist-frequency-almost-made-me-quit-writing-about-video-games-part-1
  23. New York came up with a way to discourage obesity in the 1980s. You have to be fit to live there now... ...weirdly, it never caught on anywhere else.
  24. I never said I needed a gun period, much less an assault rifle to protect myself. All I was addressing was the assertion that people in the suburbs never encounter any wildlife. Where I live, in particular, can go from urban to suburban to rural to "Dueling Banjos" in a short driving distance. And racoons and coyotes are most likely seen here when they're rabid, in which case their timidity (and even nocturnal nature) is out the window. There's been, unfortunately, an outbreak of rabid animals about 10 minutes from my house. Bears are most likely seen when the males are moving out to find their own territory. They'll sometimes plow through suburbia to get somewhere not already occupied. **** knows why the alligators were there. Most likely pets bought in Florida let loose when they got too big.
  25. ^Hurlshot supports bullying.
