I'm not saying anything of the sort. What I will be prepared to say is that modern 3D is in it's infancy, and making blanket statements regarding what it will/won't or can/can't do is, to borrow a term, fucktarded.
What strikes me as particularly bizarre is that he acknowledges in his very own essay that Avatar's 3D was well done, as well as noting that films where it wasn't as well done (Alice, Clash of the Titans) weren't originally intended to be 3D in the first place.
It's hard to imagine your average modern drama being shot in 3D, sure. But it's hard to imagine a film like Fritz Lang's Metropolis, or any of Chaplin's comedies, with a soundtrack. That was more my point in bringing up that innovation; judging a technology by the works that predate it is a bit foolish, because they by definition are unable to demonstrate the impact the technology is capable of.
For the record, I suspect 3D Titanic is going to be utter shit, but then I thought the 2 dimensional version was crap anyway.
