The wording on the other site doesn't source their list, so we might have to assume that it's whomever popped into the author's mind.

In these times of ennui,
To love a book or show no one knows,
In the name or irony.
But you kids who watch TV,
And twitter-text, while talking on a cell,
have the attention span of flies,
still waiting for a school bell.
And when the unheard of becomes popular,
and instant gratification takes too long,
you hate the very things whose praises you once sang.
This show requires TOTAL attention.
And a sense of history
And so much more...
Go Matt Weiner!!!! (And no, I've never even met him.) #madmen

Until someone figures out how to do something un-gimmicky with it it will always be just that- a gimmick. #3d

I'm sure that, someday, someone will come up with a way to project 3D on a screen without requiring the viewer to put on glasses. Until then, 3D's not for me. #3d

The better computer animated films or mocap films have succeeded to varying degrees. Is it a game changer? Eh... probably not. But something like Beowulf (an awful awful movie) had a very lovely pop up book feeling to it where every thing in frame was at it's own depth. Sure, they had a couple swords pushed into the lens, but the highlight was really just the subtle depth in every single shot. I don't think it's enough to change the industry, but it can be a fun thing to see every once and awhile. If only it were coupled with a good movie. #3d

Reading the wikipedia article on sensurround now, they do mention that some theater patrons actually became sick, and there were reports of property damage.
Say what you want about it, but this was one movie novelty that really brought it. 3D has always been kind of disappointing and lame, but sensurround was actually a little too much.

(also taking bets on how long it'll be before David Kamp gets in here to natter about Cinerama?) #3d

That being said, The Tingler is a goddamn cinematic masterpiece and you should all go watch it right now. #3d

Now I'm wondering if they just did it because they were ashamed.
Worst season ever. So glad they came back to NY for season 7. I only hope they found some better designers than this year's pile of stiffs. #projectrunway

3-D 3.0, and especially 3-D IMAX, makes me vomit. Seriously, it's some kind of inner ear thing, I literally retch. #3d

Personally, I'm sticking with the Mr. Magoo version.

My dad loves Polar Express, but I felt it would have fit better as a Halloween movie than anything related to Christmas. For getting my Christmas Carol on, I'll stick to one of the two best Christmas movies ever made: A Muppet Christmas Carol (the other best movie being Christmas Story). #3d

On the other hand, when it is used correctly it can be great. Like Pixar's Up or Toy Story. No gimmicky stuff, just extra depth to the movie. #3d
