I finally hear a voice speaking for me on the threat of the movie world turning exclusively 3-D. As it is pointed out, 6 out of 10 of the top-grossing films of 2011 were 3-D.

I am probably America’s only monocular film critic – meaning 3-D films (along with binoculars and View-Masters) have never worked for me. I was born 90-percent cross-eyed and now have – thanks to a series of eye operations beginning when I was 18-months-old – perfect vision in one eye and negligible vision in the other. The two eyes do not synch up to produce a single 3-D image. So I am coming out of the closet to take a stand for the roughly 700 million humans like me – one out of every 10 people, it’s estimated – who cannot physically process 3-D cinema. That’s many more times the percentage of people who need wheelchair ramps to access a movie theater, which all theaters are legally bound to provide.

I'm not a big movie person anyway and could probably live well enough without them, but I do appreciate the luxury of checking them out and coming across a few movies than I do enjoy.
