3-D

When I was just a kid, A scary film I went to see Was the terrifying “13 Ghosts,” Presented in 3-D. We watched with cardboard glasses, One side blue and one side red; If you didn’t want to see the ghosts, You left them off instead. Today I saw a 3-D film; The glasses, though, were plastic. I wish that I could tell you That the 3-D was fantastic. But sadly, that was not the case – I found it quite distracting; Effects to add some interest Felt to me more like subtracting. What really ticked me off, though, Was the cost of each admission; An extra 4 bucks added To the price, without permission. You didn’t have a choice And once inside, the glasses stayed; If you removed them, all was blurred, Despite the price you paid. Today I learned a lesson On the value of 3-D – That corny old technology Was good enough for me!

The film industry is once again threatened by their arch-adversary, television. Do you remember "sensurround" from back in the seventies? Movie makers have to keep trying these gimmicks to get those seats filled in the theaters. Once again, decent descriptiveness and rhyming here.
