Too cool... it also mentions in there that Melies may have inadvertently allowed us to see his cinematic world in 3D due to a purported copyrighting practice he had of shooting with 2 cameras next to one another... someone seems to be working at piecing some of that footage back together in 3D :)

Which reminds me, "Hugo" by Scorsese is without a doubt the best movie I've seen in the cineplex in quite awhile.

Anybody who appreciates Melies should definitely check it out. Also it's probably the best 3D I've ever sat through.

"Hugo," in 3D. The topic of another thread, perhaps.
