On a side note, has anyone found the 2D version playing near them?

I've only found one screen showing it near me, and it's one of those captioned presentations for the hearing impaired.

I caught it in 2D. Nobody will ever convince me that 2D isn't the way to go to see this movie. Plus, it sounds like a lot of 3D showings have all the same brightness issues that are typical of a lot of poorly configured 3D presentations (Roger Ebert wrote a legendary rant about this phenomenon a while back that's worth checking out). If you can find a 2D screening of the movie, that would be my recommendation.
