Semel and Sloan both still have skin in the game. Semel said that he remained an active investor in several Silicon Valley companies and Sloan is actively on the hunt for a new acquisition.

They differed on the importance of 3D. Sloan admitted that he was very intrigued in the format as an investing opportunity, noting the recent success of “The Lion King’s” 3D re-release and the potential for filming sports events and concerts with the technology.

But he admitted, “I don’t know how to play it.”

Semel said that 3D “seems to me it’s a fad,” adding, “I think it went overboard a little bit. Are we really going to sit in our house and watch TV with those glasses?”
