My Bloody Valentine 3D

I was really excited for a second when I first heard of this film. Last year's "U2 3D" was really incredible, and that live music setting really showed off what 3D was capable of being. It also happens that I really like shoegazer music. So why not a 3D concert movie from My Bloody Valentine, other than all of the really good reasons why there shouldn't be one, I thought.

Of course, all of those really good reasons why there shouldn't be a My Bloody Valentine 3D concert movie were too convincing for movie execs, and so instead they green lit a 3D remake of the old Canadian slasher movie from which the band took their name. Boring.


Except for not really. Modern 3D technology is actually really cool, especially when movies aren't just converted after the fact but actually filmed in 3D. Imagine pick-axes and knives and stuff coming at you realistically. Attractive young females being punished for their sexuality bouncing out of their two-dimensional prison. How could you not find that interesting? Plus, according to the commercial, it's a really good date movie. Sounds like a win-win to me.
