I can only watch 2D and when in a 3D movie I must ware the friggin' specs. If 3D would cause me headaches then I would not hesitate to blacken one lens. It would actually make sense to produce 2D specs that would only let one channel through.

HFR in the Hobbit is a poor example because warner took away your choice to see it in 2D/48p. The only choices to see the Hobbit are 2D/24p, 3D/24p or 3D/48p. The only way I actually want to see the movie is in 2D/48p. I saw it in 3D/48p because I really wanted to see the HFR, and the 3D added nothing to the film. Worse, it is filled with classic audience abusing 3D gags that actually detract from the movie itself. I guess I just need to get one of these

You need to get yourself a pair of 2D glasses. You can make them yourself from two sets of 3D glasses, or you can buy a pair instead:

(Not joking).

They're already available.

Some people get headaches from 3D, regardless of whether or not they wear prescription glasses. That's why Hank Green created 2D glasses. Of course, it's pointless to pay extra to watch a 3D movie if you're only going to see it in 2D unless you're going with others.

what about circular polarization?

Then any joker with a pair of 2D Glasses (or someone with regular 3D glasses and one eye closed) could read them :-)

Seriously though - the hack relies on the fact that LCD displays use linearly polarized light internally.
