Topic: CGI and Digital or Real models and actors-whats your prefferance.?

I personally think that CGI should be restricted to use in situations that live actors are incapable of performing. Flying scenes, other extreme stunts, over-the-top monsters (Samhail in Hellboy, for example). Use CGI for severely cost-prohibitive effects and scenery. Stuff that would otherwise break your budget. But to replace real actors with CGI and try to pass them off as real (like what Pacino's character does in S1m0ne) is just wrong. It's called laziness.

Show up early or stay late and prep it for the next showing. Maybe obtain those nude shots of Cameron Diaz that she fought so hard to have kept out of the public eye and splice those into Shrek 2. Heh heh.

I think that's the point. That's what he wants people to accept as gospel truth, that the 77/80/83 versions no longer exist. Hence why this website was set up.

US$12.99. But since I traded in some CDs, I actually got the set plus $5 back. Comes with a comic book. Score!

Some reviewers have reported hearing several outbreaks of crying among children at sneak previews. Ideally there won't be too many really young ones at the midnight show I'm at tonight.

C'mon. Just look at the outfit. That should tell you everything right there. It looks like garbage. I liked it at first because it was nice and, er, "showy". But the more I look at it, the less I want to see it. I hate to use that as an indicator, but when you rely that heavily on a "peepshow", per se, usually the script is lacking.

Or, to make this threat appropriate to this thread... I'm gonna bitch slap you from here to the day after tomorrow.

Yeah, but how many people really went back and read the old posts? Not I. I'm too lazy. I just ask people to restate something instead.

That depends on how much they spent making it. Troy is not going to break even and that is obvious. I think Catwoman might bump Halle Berry down a peg or two which is probably a good thing considering she is demanding a bigger role in order to return as Storm in X3. I'm sorry, but there are bigger things to deal with in the X Universe than Storm. The next movie should be all about Jean Grey, IMHO. And make Colossus and Beast the next big intros. Yeah, Colossus was in a scene in X2, but give him a focal point character like Nightcrawler in X2.

I pray Catwoman crashes hard so Hollywood will take a break from ruining all of our beloved comic characters.

I like that Shimmy. Phenomenon is a much better word to use than Masterpiece to describe the SW saga. Good job.

Here I figured that the Clone Wars DVD would be the perfect thing to release as a "whet your appetite" sort of thing just before the release of Ep 3. Kinda like how New Line was releasing the EEs of the LOTR movies just before the next theatrical release. For those who weren't able to catch it on Cartoon Network or online, catching up with the story on DVD would be ideal. Just my two Lincolns.

I, too, like that idea for a release schedule except that I would bump it up a month. If the final 10 come out in February, then the DVD can come out in late March/early April with just enough time for the second half of May release of Ep 3.

And, if I recall right, traditional animation would take upwards of an hour per frame of movement (that does not include backgrounds, just the active motion cell overlays. This could be sped along by the reuse of certain cells of animation which I'm sure happened on occasion in the original 20 episodes. Not enough to be noticeable to us, but enough to ease the time constraints on the animators.

YES!!!!!

And, Hal, don't worry about having time to do them. They finished the first 20 pretty quickly and I'm of the opinion that they already have draft versions of the next 20 ready to go. I don't think they'd allow themselves to be committed to a timeline if they didn't know they could get it done.

I'm not sure what the details were behind Jabba (human or just a human stand in for stop motion added in later), but Boba Fett was definitely NOT supposed to be in there. The reason his figure came out pre-ESB is, like Ric says, because he was in the Holiday Special on TV. He was one of the featured characters. Don't worry, this confused me too because I had no idea that a TV HS existed until a year ago. It does explain a lot though.
