Subject: So 3D movies are back again ?

Written By: Starro23 on 05/08/22 at 8:06 pm

Not sure if anyone noticed but Dr. Strange 2 in Imax was randomly changed to 3D to the majority of AMC theaters, as I walked
in I was actually surprised they did this. With Avatar 2 coming out in the Fall I could see 3d coming back for a tiny bit.

The last few times I saw 3D movies in the cinema, I walked out with eye strain and a headache.

I remember 3D in the theaters along with the scratch and sniff too if anyone remembers that?

Over my years of going to the cinema I never participated in a scratch and sniff film.

Did they have all the usual gratuitous 3-D effects, with things appearing to fly out of the screen into the audience?

Jaws 3-D is my favorite of the Jaws trilogy due to those cool 3-D effects.  8)

I think this was back in the late 70's where you'd have a scent that would appear on the screen and you'd scratch that numbered scent on the screen.

Yes. John Waters used "Smell-O-Vision" too, which was essentially the same thing. A few albums had "scratch n sniff" too. One that I recall was "Garden In the City" by Melanie which had a floral scent to it.

Some magazines in the 70s had scratch ‘n sniff features, too.

I'm wondering if Smell O Vision will come back?

Was the aroma correct for smell portrayed?

Actually, it looks like Smell-O-Vision dates back to 1960.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smell-O-Vision

John Waters paid homage to it with "Odorama" in 1982 in his movie "Polyester". If I recall from his book "Crackpot: The Obsessions of John Waters", the odors were of various bodily functions and emissions, among other things.

What aroma would be correct for Al Pacino's "Scent of a Woman"?

Sometimes, the number would blink on the screen and you'd scratch that scent of that number from that number would appear on the screen.
