Come on, we couldn't let 2008 end without one more use of the word "maverick." Dallas Mavericks owner and HD maverick Mark Cuban has bought a large stake in the Carmike Cinema chain, and not because he loves popcorn.

In an email to the Alley Insider, Cuban said, ""What I can say is that I think Out of Home entertainment is becoming about far more than movies. HDNet was the first to do a live 3D broadcast to a theater, and we will continuing trying to expand that business, along with 2D out of home. Bits are bits, and just like you can make them smaller, you can make them a lot bigger and more interesting."

Now, some sporting events are already in 3D in theaters, such as . . .

The BCS Championship Football Game and the NBA All-Star Saturday Night (not the game, as many websites are stating).  While movies might be fun in 3D, 3D sporting events add, well, another dimension to the game. —Leslie Shapiro
