Should I just go ahead and change my Avatar to that Brody picture?

Too bad the article wasn’t.

I trust ol’ Brody more than you, Ric.

Okay, I laughed.

So deep.

Does this look like the face of a troll?

whoops

Thoughts?

Yup. Now i’m going to try to muster the willpower to not post at you again.

You’re being purposefully obtuse- so you can have this argument.

Good day to you, sir.

Then show me a film with better CGI at that time…

Lord of the Rings trilogy. Minority Report. Gladiator. The Matrix. Pirates of the Caribbean. Armageddon. King Kong. The Fifth Element. Titanic. Independence Day.

Not that I like CGI and not that those films don’t have some flawed shots but there’s quite a few that have better work than the Prequels in the late 90s/early 2000s. The first Matrix especially, hasn’t dated at all (It helped that a lot was practical).

There’s your evidence.

And as for your whole “subjective” garbage as far as the Matrix, I was commenting on your implication that your shots were proof and my suggestions were merely opinions.

bad=subjective
good=objective
?

As for backtracking, you cited TFL as a movie with superior CG, yet you then agree that in a comparison of a central CG location of each film, the PT wins.

Coruscant looks better than The Fifth Element’s NYC.

It bl**dy well should do 😉

‘The Fifth Element’ was made 2 years earlier than TPM (and naturally 8 years earlier than ROTS) and cost $25million less.

You seem to be backtracking.

The first Matrix’s effects look awful now

I…disagree

Now post all the really dated stuff like the squidbots, the wall contracting when neo breathes, the civilian transforming into the agent, etc…

The first Matrix’s effects look awful now. I love the movie but come on. And other than LOTR, all the movies you mentioned have comparable CG to the prequels.
Hell, Coruscant looks better than The Fifth Element’s NYC.

Only that he’s a die hard SW fan who watched the OT once a day for a month straight once.

That’s still only one person’s opinion and don’t you think his love of the OT would somehow interfere with his enjoyment of TFA? That seems to be a thing with people who are fanatical about the OT.

That’s not the issue. He enjoys the prequels. He really likes 1 and 3 and likes 2 up until the droid factory scene.

Only that he’s a die hard SW fan who watched the OT once a day for a month straight once.

No, the crowd was VERY subdued compared to any other mass appeal movie i’ve gone to recently.

I swear I’m being honest, people were much more pumped after watching ROTS when I went back in '05.

I have a funny feeling that you’re not going to believe me, but I saw it in theaters with my old man who LOVES the OT, and he absolutely hated it.
The mood of the crowd leaving the theater was decidedly deflated as well.

Agreed, especially for the time.

The same game those floor textures come from.

I’m sorry but those floors are real. Look at her feet. No greenscreen compositing/whatever to be seen.

I want to see what ps3 games you’re playing.

looked like video games.

That’s not an objectively bad thing.

Reality is a point of view.

Only to those who don’t see it.

I checked again. Still seems ok.
