yeah like i said it's not really a dealbreaker but it's incredibly irksome. speaking of delbreakers, the least attractive decade of movies has to be roughly 1998-2008, aka "the era of incredibly shitty cgi"Yeah, I agree, but for different reasons. Some really unappealing choices have become very popular.
i sure do, it's atrocious. i'd also nominate rampant color saturation/desaturation in post-production
but shit like gollum and "bullet time" are going to look worse than harryhausen stop motion in 40 years, mark my words
Gollum will certainly always look better integrated with the movie world than Harryhausen's work does, but other than that it will probably always be easier to forgive something handmade than something made by a computer.but shit like gollum and "bullet time" are going to look worse than harryhausen stop motion in 40 years, mark my words
I will always have far more respect for Harryhausen's work than I will ever have for the bulk of the CGI work we see these days. Crazy skeletons charging herky-jerky across a beach is far more awesome to me than a digitally-rendered anything.

LOL Nice description. :)

LOL Nice description. :)It's even true for the lame stain in TP. It's the flicker that does it.
Probably explains why pretty much every Tool video creeps me out to some extent (though "Prison Sex" wins hands down, but I think it's the freakish molestation undertone that gets me more than anything else)

In other words, it's just too hard to decide. I guess that's the price I pay for studying film theory in undergrad...
We're all paying for you having studied film in undergrad.
Huw, why have we never made out? :P
