Well this week i learned Image resizing and some other important things for using Photoshop. This week i was happy to finally have saved up the money to buy a bamboo drawing tablet, and to learn more about Photoshop. This week the only thing that me mad was the act that I have had the worst of luck, first my truck breaks down and than my laptop's display driver stopped working for 30 minutes, so i got no time to figure out my tablet. the thing i want to learn most is how to use my tablet so i can use it in Photoshop to make projects and help my friend with a web comic.   
When reading this article i was shocked to find out that 3-D movie sales were going down. With the only 3-D movies i last saw being Avatar and the Avengers, I didn't know that prices would go down. In my opinion this is surprising but not unexpected, The first movie i ever saw in 3-D was Nascar 3-D ( Yes my family is all rednecks), It used 3-D to show wheels and cars flying off the screen at the viewers. But after that all the movies i saw in 3-D didn't use it in the same way, it was like watching a normal film just with stupid glasses on. Than came the movie Avatar by James Cameron, this movie used 3-D to show things flying out of the screen and to show depth in the world of Pandora. The drop in 3-D movie prices does is not reasonless, it is because that most of the movies made in this format are just normal movies that everyone has to ware glasses to.

I also learned that many film makers are just making old movies int 3-D. In my opinion this could go one of two ways that depends on the movie. For example the classic movie "The Nightmare Before Christmas". It was a great movie, but if there were to bring it into 3-D and put it in theaters again they would make a good amount of money. This is because still now that movie has a huge fan base, all the original fans and some new ones would go to see the 3-D version. But if they take a bad movie that not many people liked and turned it into 3-D they would make some money but not much after a few weeks.    

Lastly i learned that there are 40 movies that are set to move int theaters this year. In my opinion This is not worth my time. Yes I may go see two or three movies in 3-D this year but that is only if they prove there worth the time and money.
