But Patrick, CGI was common before LOTR. Blue screen tricks were being used even in the early '90s for films such as Jurassic Park and to put Clint Eastwood in JFK footage for "In the Line of Fire". Then a never-ending stream of crap was produced that had no story but just an excuse for CGI effects--dragons and such. What LOTR added was an epic storyline and humongous battle sequences. This did have an effect on the movies that followed, but LOTR was not the progenitor for all CGI, as you seem to think.
