As if it weren’t bad enough that Hollywood is pilfering my childhood with hundreds of film versions of bad old 80s TV shows (A-Team, Dukes of Hazzard) and remakes of movies that weren’t good the first time around (Clash of the Titans), now they’re going to re-release movies from the last decade in 3D.

Count me amongst the non-believers in the whole 3D thing. Paying more for blurry movies that I can’t watch without putting on germ-ridden plastic glasses is not my idea of a good Friday night out.

But Hollywood has seen the dollar signs, and they will stop at nothing for an excuse to charge us $15 to see Titanic again. How long will it take idiot America to figure out the ruse?

Re-releasing Shrek 1, 2, and 3 in 3D might help speed it up a bit.

Talk about killing the golden goose.
