: ....it's the idiots who prefer bright, shiny, and noisy things to substance that should apologize. Ignorance has a strangle-hold on mass media to the point that these morons are actually celebrating their ignorance. It wasn't that long ago that people were embarrassed with their ineptitude.
: One other remark: if you find yourself saying "Man, I love CGI," and "The CGI looked awesome,"-----then it failed. If it's any good you're not supposed to notice it. You should be left wondering "how did they DO that?"
: Consider soundtracks, they're meant to further the mood not distract you. It's pathetic that Hollywood is over-reliant on CGI b/c it's trendy right now. It's more expensive than models and rarely ever looks as good.
: Mummy, Matrix, Mummy II, etc. -----they're bad, expensive videogame fantasies for pre-pubescent boys.
