Yeah, I agree, but for different reasons. Some really unappealing choices have become very popular.
Such as harsh lighting from above, and the "bloom"* effect.

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.

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.

Stop-motion also has the "oh that should not be moving, I'm freaking out" factor going for it.

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)

Huw, why have we never made out? :P
