Desert Eagle Master of the Weird Hotshot Registered: 01/06/01 Posts: 8408 Loc: Portugal	http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/16/movies/16box.html?partner=rss&emc=rss Quote: After a quiet stretch at the North American box office, Hollywood discovered once again that audiences want to see the world and a cast of B-list actors ripped into pieces in a blitz of computer-generated effects. “2012,” Roland Emmerich’s thriller about a global cataclysm, opened at No. 1 with a higher-than-expected $65 million in ticket sales in the United States and Canada, according to the tracking service Hollywood.com. Sony, which released the movie, estimated that it raked in an additional $160 million overseas, making the first weekend for “2012” one of the biggest of the year. Oh great! You guys know what this means right? Another stream of CGI catastrophe bonanzas in the next few years all trying to cache in on 2012's success. _________________________ ©2010-oo All Your rights belong to Me By reading this You acknowledge that Your body and soul, including all your worldly possessions, are now property of this poster.

We complain all the time about the crap Hollywood dishes out but yet people continue to validate the studios' actions by buying tickets to see these movies in droves. _________________________ I aim to misbehave.

Bono Member Registered: 11/06/08 Posts: 317 Loc: Seoul, South Korea	People posting on internet their fingers synchronized fake performance of musical instruments with prerecorded computer generated music. Blockbusters are now coming from computer labs with movie stars doing their job inside a lab standing in front of blue screen like puppets. Majority of photographs we see these days are results of computer creation which many prefer to call 'correction.' Hopefully, I don't have to start wondering who are Cylons and who are humans...at least not in my lifetime I pray....
