Yeah, I hadn't heard anything about it, until a couple days ago I heard a piece about Clash of the Titans/How to Train Your Dragon on NPR. Basically, the guy who made Dragon had been advocating up and down for 3D long before Avatar came out, back when studios and theaters were on the fence about it and weren't sure if it was a fad or not, trying to get movie theaters to install more 3D theaters. Then Avatar comes out, makes everything quite obvious for the studios and theaters, and now the studio tacks on 3D to Titans -- one of the expected huge blockbusters, which was filmed entirely in 2D -- and release it one week after the guy's Dragon movie and steal his thunder. That fucking sucks for him.

After seeing the reviews, and knowing it was meant for 3D, I really want to see it, too.

I've been taking a graphics class this semester, and we just learned about color a couple of weeks ago. I can see how adding yellow is a big deal.

Here is a picture of the RGB gamut. RGB can represent every color in the triangle:



Apparently Sharp is not only adding yellow, but cyan, which will reportedly allow them to represent 99% of the colors visible to the eye.
Ah, now a color chart is something I can get behind! If they had shown that in the commercial, then I would have been amazed. But then again I am an engineering guy.
