Movies that have NO business being in 3D

So 3D movies has become quite the big deal recently and its a trend that won't go a way for a while. Unfortunately Hollywood is attracted to gimmicks, and they are quick to swamp the market with attempts to make a quick buck.So while paroosingthe Wikipedias i came across a list of movies that will be released in 3D and all i have to say is WHY?Here's the list and why they're stupid:

1.Saw VII-Don't get me wrong, the Saw franchise is the best horror movie series out there, because it had a "coherent" story line. Making a 3D Saw is almost as bad as putting Jason Voorhees in space.

2.Jackass 3D-Do i really need to go into detail as to why this is a bad idea? Sure there are some funny gags they do, but if you've seen the worst of their stunts involving bodily fluids then you'll understand why this film shouldn't be made, i don't want to see 3D vomit.

3.Step Up 3D-A big draw of 3D is one of two things, either stuff is constantly flying at you or it gives the film a field of depth making it more visually alluring. What is Step Up gonna do? have the dancers jump at the camera over and over again?

4.Piranha 3D-What can fish possibly do in 3D that they can't do in 2D? I really don't have much else to say about that one.

So there you have just a few of the "wonderful" movies you can see in glorious 3D! I don't know about you but i cant' wait until i see gore, vomit, sweaty dancers, and fish thrown at me IN 3D!

"The Tonight Show" Gets Less Funny

This whole NBC "Late Night" debacle may be partially resolved but with a slightly depressing twist. Conan O'Brien, host of "The Tonight Show", has announced he will not continue to host the talk show if it is moved to midnight to accomodate the "Jay Leno Show."

The late night comedian issued a statement citing his main reason leaving was that he "cannot participate in what I honestly believe is its(The Tonight Show's) destruction." O'Brien also said that NBC didn't give him, unlike previous hosts, enough time to build a dedicated fan base.As for rumors of moving to another channel O'Brien said "I currently have no other offer and honestly have no idea what happens next." NBC has yet to say if this plan will come to pass but with the threat of losing O'Brien, hopefully they'll reconsider. It may just be me but i've thought that Leno is just not that funny, sure he had some good skits, but overall O'Brien just seems more enjoyable. Unlike Jay Leno he doesn't need things like "Headlines" or "Jay Walking" to be funny, he just has a funny personality. NBC can be given credit for trying something new, but if this ends with "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" again, i will have no reason to watch it, and they have lost more then they could gain.
