Look, Even More Crap in 3-D

Are we going to crank out a post every single time a new sporting event is offered in 3-D? I sure hope not. But this one is noteworthy because, unlike the NFL’s 3-D experiment last week, it’ll be open to the public for a sure-to-be large, yet undetermined fee. The event I speak of is the NBA All-Star Saturday Night, which includes the remains of once interesting dunk and three point competitions, but is now mostly unwatchable, even in high def. So perhaps showing it in 3-D will prove useful. Here’s more:↵↵⇥Cinedigm is teaming up with the league and Turner Sports to showcase the 2009 All-Star Saturday Night in Live 3D HD to some 80 theaters across the US. Hailed as the “first-ever marketed and commercially viable (open for sale to public) live movie theater broadcast of a major sporting event,” the spectacle will be available on over 160 screens in 35 states. As of now, pricing information remains fuzzy, but you’ll have to either roll solo or hope your lady friend(s) really loves Kobe given the terrible, terrible February 14th show date. Way to think that one through, NBA. ↵↵Yeah, NBA.

. Way to not adjust your entire season’s schedule around some fabricated holiday. Although this could prove helpful for lonely, single women. All they have to do is stake out one of those theaters, where they’re sure to find the motherlode of irresistibly eligible bachelors.↵
