No problem 
And no need to be embarrassed...I used to think the same thing until I started looking into buying them. Then I found out there was a lot more to it than I realized.
If I remember correctly, it\'s the way it is projected in the theaters that makes it not work the same at home. There are only a couple theaters in the country that can show it. I live near the George Eastman House which has an incredible archive of just about every film there is. They even have a theater where they show movies nightly and that\'s where I saw it. They have the equipment to show it, plus they have an actual silver screen which I\'m not sure is necessary, but enhances the effect. Anyway, the opnly way to reproduce the effect at home is with those field sequential glasses which need to be hooked up to a box that gets hooked up to your DVD player.
