Third dimension ... Sony's 3D TV prototype at the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers conference and exhibition in Sydney / Courier-Mail
BREAK out your TV-watching goggles. The next big thing in home cinema is 3D and it could arrive in a big way next year.
With more and more feature films being made in 3D, Hollywood studios are lobbying to bring the full immersive experience into lounge rooms, and TV manufacturers are striving to meet those demands.
What are we? Back to the Future of 1955??? 3D is just a tad passe' in my view and until holographivision becomes a reality - really, what is the point of this?
The basic premise of the technology has not changed in 50 years. This is not a good thing. Money should be invested in projected vision entertainment for the home, not just a means of bringing cinema into the home the same way it is delivered in theatres.
Why do our bigshot entertainment and tech houses insist on focussing on reinvention...where is the new stuff? where is the future?? Stop taking us back in time please.
Will Gordon Ramsay meet his match in Australia, when he appears on Channel Ten’s Rove Live. The popular Australian comedian and variety show host will have Gordon Ramsay as his guest live in studio, which will no doubt have the censors nervous!
Gordon Ramsay has caused a stir with his hit shows Hell’s Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares and the language associated - which was made worse by dropping a few choice words in a live interview upon his arrival last year.
Here is the trailer for the show, we’ll post the link when the show airs
I like Gordon Ramsay. I actually find him entertaining and interesting. He does know how to cook afterall, and cooking reality shows are among my faves.
Gordon is also honest. He is. And its a rare attribute among television "personalities".
Following an interesting week in Australia, he appeared on Rove McManus' show "Rove Live" - a variety, "comedy" type chat show. I wanted to watch, only for the reason Ramsay would be interesting when confronted by the twirp that is McManus.
Indeed McManus did his utmost best to try and provoke Ramsay, unnecessarily. I realise the show is shallow, often less than entertaining, but please, the awkwardness of McManus and his attempts to get a rise out of Ramsay just showed how silly, attention seeking and shallow the show really is.
I laughed. But it was more at the embarrassment. Onya Rove, we can always count on you to entertain...errm...someone :) As for Gordon Ramsay, it would be interesting to ask him in a weeks time what he thought of the variety show..."what show?" - a response that wouldn't surprise me.
