Papa’s Basement 7-16-12-When Did Movies Become All Computer Graphics?

admin July 16, 2012


I thought this might be the one scene in Thor that didn’t have CGI. Then I learned that Asian guy was actually black until post-production.

Computer graphics are out of control in movies lately. When did people stop giving a fuck about seeing anything that looked remotely realistic on their screen? It all looks like Roger Rabbit in reverse — human characters added to an animated background of complete bullshit. Hear all this and other curmudgeony rants (plus the funniest intro ever) on the new episode of Papa’s Basement.

    hipsters playing pacman 😀 great show guys!
    speaking about CGI.. did you know that in Lars Von Trier’s movie “The Antichrist” they even used computer graphics for simulating the fucking falling acorns in some scenes?
    an also for good measure the comparison of the aesthetics of the two star wars trilogies shows very well why making movies entirely in front of green screens suck
