U23D eye patch question

One of my friends has an eyepatch. He's wasn't in a war or anything, he just thinks it's cool. Will the 3D still work for him?

 

[dabiggestu2fan]

i don't know, best advice is to tell him to take the patch off. I am quite sure he will not look any uncooler without it, infact quite the contrary!

 

[phillyfan26]

Has he lost his depth perception?

 

[U2FanPeter]

Do their ears still work?

 

[phillyfan26]

Did David Bowie give him this advice? He gave it to Bret McKenzie, too, and that didn't work out.

just tell him to take off the patch, it will do 2 things- make the film more enjoyable and make him look cooler

haha i've never heard of someone doing this for fun...why would you cover up a normally functioning eye?!?!?!

tell him the pirate look is soooooooo 2006.

 

[Bonochick]

He will still be able to enjoy the movie properly, but only if he's also wearing a puffy shirt.

And fake dreadlocks coming out of a grimy red bandana.

Yes, your "friend."

You're talking about yourself, aren't you? You wear an eyepatch for kicks, don't you?

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Did you know that pirates didn't wear eyepatches because they'd lost an eye... they wore them so they'd always keep one eye accustomed to the dark, for when they had to go below deck. They tested it on Mythbusters

This statement wins the prize! Congratulations! How would you like your sheepdog wrapped?

In aluminum foil! That way I can recycle it to make a hat for when the aliens come.

And it was true, so remember to send eyepatch guy for popcorn because he won't fall over everyone

Damn you! I wanted to post that!

 

[LMP]

Did you give him a pair of Arabian Goggles?

 

[AtomicBono]

Yeah, one time I wore an eyepatch for awhile and answered the door to get a pizza. The guy probably felt bad for me. He shouldn't have.

Another time my friend wore an eyepatch and drew a mustache on himself. it was a good look for him.

as for U2 3D, your friend should probably just not go to it, cuz I heard you die after 7 days or something like that. but if he does, he should grow a third eye. actually, he should do that anyway.

 

[phillyfan26]

I wore an eyepatch and lost my depth perception. I missed my chair and fell on the floor. Then I bumped into a door.

 

[Lancemc]

Is your friend

?

 

[innominata8]

sorry, but your 'friend' sounds like an idiot. depth perception isn't a luxury; hopefully he/she isn't dumb enough to drive with the thing on...

Technical Mumbo Jumbo for U23D

Anyone interested in the technical how to's of U23D can find a great article here. It talks about how they did it and some of the problems they encountered. Quite interesting really...and a real nice comment at the end from someone who has toured with the band before.

Dude, I bet we can fill this whole first page with U2 3D threads...

U23D and eyeglasses

Do the 3D glasses fit over eyeglasses or do you have to wear contacts?
Just a random question, I know. But I figured since everyone is starting U23D topics, why shouldn't I?

 

[U2FloridaFan]

I saw in one review of the movie by a critic that she wore the 3D glasses over her own glasses.

 

[Superflysrb]

Cool. Thanks. My contacts annoy me sometimes.

 

[forbonou2]

Do you just pick those glasses up at the movie theater?? I hope so!
