Hence the winky. You do know some movies have been natively shot in 3D?
That joke just hasn’t been funny ever, and I’ve seen you stating this before too so it’s just tiresome. And I do know, but it does not make them less a gimmick compared to sound or color.
And colorization of B&W white movies is a whole different thing, it’s up there with the SEs.
I wouldn’t say aspect ratios are gimmicks. They’re just ratios. That’s like saying a painting is better/worse because it’s wider. That’s just a standard and again, no-one is forcing anyone to use a ratio.
