Actually it makes me just wonder how much money ILM and LFL has *lost* because of the other effects houses (ie WETA) that still CARE about doing things the best way possible even if it means building a model, full-size prop or CGI. I see fewer and fewer big films come out that are ILM showpieces. I'm not saying they don't have money and aren't working but they certainly aren't the be-all-end-all of effects these days.
