I hope you’ll pardon the lack of clarity in this post. I’m halfway through processing a reaction – on my way towards forming a cohesive thesis; All I have right now is a contradiction, that I’m trying to work out.
Here’s the basic setup: I always hated 3D effects – right up until Avatar. And it was there that I found myself …
