I had planned on posting a short video here this morning that I shot yesterday of a coyote foraging around the Calgary Airport area.

But instead, I offer you – a brief commentary on the 3-D Tim Burton film, “Alice In Wonderland”.

On a whim (alternate transportation option, only three wheels), Mrs. That Dan Guy and I decided to stop in and catch a movie the other day. Of the options available at the time, the only one that really appealed was that 3-D flick, our first modern 3-D experience (yes, we have NOT seen Avatar. Alert the media).

This was a movie that looked pretty interesting when it was first advertised, but not interesting enough to pry us away from TV episodes of “Glee”, and repeated spinnings of that delightful Justin Bieber CD.

However, after the first few minutes, the current version of the 3-D film experience knocked our socks off. I had been wearing sandals at the time, so I had to quickly put some socks on, so that they could be sufficiently knocked right off.

Wow!! Who knew?? The old technology was so lame, you couldn’t understand the haste with which moviemakers were now stampeding to develop more 3-D flickering pictures. But the screen literally popped out, in front of our very eyes. Technically, most screens are positioned in front of your eyes, but in a not-so-literal sense, the images were astoundingly popping out as us!

And, if you haven’t seen the film I’m talking about – well…it was wonderful as well. Two thumbs up. Love those Burton films.

Now, we wish we HAD seen Avatar, just for the 3-D effects. Maybe, if we’re really really lucky, one of those popular Hairy Potter films will magically reappear, in 3-D.

That, or maybe some classic episodes of Baywatch…

Chow for now!!
