Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Even after the camera for it was invented (for Avatar, iirc) most studios just filmed in 2D and converted it to 3D, which looked awful. So on the one hand you have a small number of movies, like Avatar and Coraline, filmed in 3D and looking gorgeous, but on the other hand you have a ton of movies filmed in 2D and hastily converted to 3D to cash in on the success of the ones filmed that way. Those movies looked awful and pretty much killed the trend.
However, the theaters still had the equipment to show them because it's not like there's really anyone to sell it to, and the 3D cameras are still out there, too. So every once in a while someone decides to put that equipment to use. It's not many, though, and most 3D movies are still 2D conversions, so you don't get much out of viewing them in 3D, and the conversion process and the display tech can actually make them look worse than just watching the original 2D version.
