I posted that, then thought of something else-- even now, I can look at the FX in "Empire Strikes Back," and marvel, "How'd they do that?"
When I watch "Attack of the Clones," I think, "Wow, a bunch of computer nerds worked on this for a 2 years. Pretty. What else is on?"
When I watch "Firefly," I either marvel at "How'd they DO that??" or just don't even think about it... because they're so realistic, I don't CARE.
Now that's good filmmaking.

Oh, no no!
You misunderstood me. I was saying that all the new star wars films look like cartoons and had no weight. Not the models. Zoic and Weta are the only people I've seen to do CGI properly, and even then, Weta's is still questionable at times.
Zoic, on the other hand, I can never tell when they're involved or not. Did you know the cows at the end of shindig were CGI? I didn't until last night. Ditto for the train in Train Job. There's a scene where the train drives by the camera in the desert. Now EVERY ELEMENT of that scene was CGI. The sky, the trees, everything. Best CGI I've ever seen. In Star Wars, episodes 1, 2, and the Special editions of 4, 5, and 6, the computer elements of special effects don't quite mesh with the real world. They look cartoony and animated.
Just my opinion, though there are many who agree with me.

Oh, I agree with you-- it all looks like crap to me, but as long as people keep spending beaucoup $$$ on movies with bad CGI... then bad CGI will still make the cut.
Go, Joss, Go! >:)

and i agree: the cgi in phantom menace/attack of the clones looks rediculously cartoony. IV-VI look much better.
