A lot of visual effects artists would find that offensive. Using computer-generated effects is incredibly painstaking, regardless of what the public at large may think.

What happened to the painstaking care that used to look at each shot and scene for excellent visual details? I preferred it when people did real work to make sure that a particular image was as good as it could be. Though, I suppose that Guillermo Del Toro does a fantastic job in his movies. I can't wait for Hellboy 2 and he gives me hope for a good translation of the Hobbit.

I agree. CGI can be even more painstaking than the old-fashioned methods. Theres a very big misconception that, from the standpoint of the artists, it takes less effort or less skill. Its easier for filmmakers because they have more control but from the standpoint of the technicians and artists it takes more time and effort in most cases--which is why the pos-production phase on FX film has gone from about 6 months, as it usually was back around 1980, to about 12-18 months as it usually is now.
