    I just had a press release show up here regarding Technicolor's new
    film based 3D system to offer an alternative to having to switch to
    an all digital format for cinema's that want to show the current crop
    of 3D features. They are also going to be using circ. polarizers for
    their glasses as well, both for the better quality of extinction with
    their over/under system, and to also be compatable with everyone
    else so that you can use glasses left over from a DigCin showing.
    Knowing how slack the theater owners are about keeping the
    glasses clean between shows, I'd be inclined to just "invest" in
    a perm. pair if I were a regular theater goer, especially now as
    there's going to be a min. of at least 19, 3D features per year for
    at least the next 5 years. And who knows, maybe they will start
    to re-issue "classics" in 3D... I can see it now, "Driving Miss
    Daisy, and The Color Purple, in 3D"...
