I was at the Warner Village cinemas in Taipei earlier this week to see the new "Wallace and Grommit" movie. It was pretty good, although I don't think it's necessary to put sexual innuendo into a family movie to get adults into the theaters.
In the lobby was a 3D widescreen television. This was a kind that I'd never seen before, which didn't require the wearing of any special glasses.
It was mostly just playing TV commercials - French commercials. Razors floated in front of the screen while rotating. Pop bottles doing the same, then pouring out their contents. The best was one for a detergent or fabric softener, where a feather gently swayed from side-to-side as it fell through the air.
Most of them were very well done, like the concession stand ad with popcorn bursting out of the screen, threatening to hit the viewer. One or two weren't very good, and just gave me a headache. For some reason, seeing all of this reminded me of some of Schwartzenegger's sci-fi action flicks. The future looks very cool, indeed.
