BTW, for someone suffering from CGI withdrawal you seem awfully animated. :o)So, you're tryin' to tell me it wasn't the REAL Titanic that James Cameron sank? ...! Well, 'whadaya' know; I'll never be able to look at that film the same way again! And 'whaddabout' those " Star Wars " puppets " blue screen " thingies? You mean Yoda actually had strings attached and that cornball JarJar character was actually performed by the Blue Man Group? Tell me it ain't so, Pat!!! ;^)
Seriously, the more imaginative and fanciful the story being told the more expensive and realistic the visuals should be to involve the audience. The suspension of disbelief is crucial to modern cinematic storytelling. How would you go about recreating the Titanic (i.e., which is a good movie, IMHO) or visually establishing distant worlds, alien races and advanced civilizations as were created in Star Wars (i.e., the first three of which were generally quite good; the others, far, far away)?
Next New Year's Eve, I suggest cutting back a little on the "sauce" feller!

You would have been soooo right....But no you did have to go further...
Digital artifacts are like some kind of strange human sickness,( you know this kids that looks like Joda with two ) they grow older by the day.
In two years from now, the look & feel will be so passé...
What I want to tell to put it blantly is, that lake of creation & fantaisie, ain´t no erzatz for creativity.
But we have the films that we deserve.
Next year, you should have some more, as sometime it clear the sight....
Cheers !
Every technological effect introduced into the motion picture medium is done with the idea of trying to keep ahead of the curve. Can digital FX be overused? Sure! Can they be badly rendered? Absolutely! Can they be a distraction? Of course! But it's a ridiculous argument for throwing out the baby with the bathwater.So, through your apparently boozy New Year's afterglow I suspect some smoke is being blown. ;^)
Not even that.
