       @Gargron it just seems like you don't like moviesI can give you twenty movies made in 2025 that challenge what you wrote in the above post and you'll scoff at every single one. It just seems like you don't like the medium (past a certain year).

       @Gargron “I miss when movies were professionally lit, when actors were intentionally blocked, and when more than teal, orange and beige were allowed to be on the screen.”I mean, come on. Unless you typically speak in hyperbole, this is gibberish unless it's coming from someone who wants nothing to do with the art form.

       The discourse is still so bad. It's one thing when internet bozo film bros spread misinformation, but when the trades just say stupid stuff like this it's just so overwhelming and depressing.Fun fact: even those movies that you think "rely on 'CGI'" have gigantic practical effects work!

       the piece is worse than the headline and deeply misleadsTO BE CLEAR:- in half the shots in which he appears, Rocky is computer graphics animation- Project Hail Mary used LED screens- Top Gun Maverick had all-CG jet sequences, the Dune films had all-CG sequences, Alien Romulus had all-CG aliens

       I guess writing an piece that says "good filmmakers use the right tools for the right job" —— which has been true since the dawn of cinema itself —— is just too boring for the trades

       like I said, exhausting(Grogu, in this shot for a piece whose theme is “CGI BAD”, is computer graphics made by computer graphics artists)
