Movie Theaters Aim for Live 3D Sports

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the maybe-try-movies-that-don't-suck dept.

teutonic_leech writes "ZDNet has an article claiming that movie theater operators plan to be screening live 3D sports events by 2007 in a bid to lure sports fans away from their home theater systems and bolster sagging mid-week ticket sales." From the article: "Other chains are looking to much-improved digital three-dimensional projection for an experience theatergoers can't get at home. But while the projection has greatly advanced from the early 3D days, special glasses must still be worn to achieve the full effect."

    So they are actually going to be selling beer in the movie theater for sports?

    Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats.
