Jurrassic Park?

I now that CG was really going down hill when a first saw to movie The Mummy Returns. Up to that point most of the CG out there was fairly decent, there where some bad apples but not many. Then this peace of crap came out and you could tell the CG was all about saving money. It was a taste of things to come.

Yeah, I never watched any of the Mummy movies. I am not a fan of Brendan Fraiser or the films. For me, it was Alien 3 and Species. Both of those movies use such god awful digital effects, that it really made me hate CG. It wasn't until I saw The Matrix that I started thinking differently. And then with LOTR, I realized that when done right, CG works and looks awesome. Gollum looked fantastic. Its funny though, watch The Matrix today and the effects look a little dated.

They used CG in LOTR?:homer: That’s the trick, if you notice there using CG then they’re doing it wrong.

Yeah, there's only that one weird scene in the Two Towers that still bothers me when I think about it...you know, the scene where Legolas swings up onto the horse. That was just all wrong....

Ha, that's too funny, I remember the exact scene you're talking about. It was clearly bad and so disjointed. I was like dang, you guys were doing so well and then this....

I’m surprised they didn’t fix it in the DVD release.

I made this for you Bart.

You mean.... it's not real?

And all this time, I thought there really were walking, talking trees. How could I allow myself to be fished in?!

Hay! Stop messing with my delusions…. If you ever get an extra 1hr and 40 minutes, I’m not kidding. Watch this YouTube video on the history of CG. It will change your life, or bore the living crap out of you.
