Huh? Good FX can't improve a bad story, but a great story with cheesy FX still looks cheesy!

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!

Cheers,
