Now you're back on the notion that I blame CGI? I really can't keep doin' this.

My "phonics" slur was based solely on some peoples' lack of ability to read and comprehend a post.

I never once blamed CGI for bad movies. I simply implied that now, less-than-good movies are being made BECAUSE CGI is available. There IS a difference.

In the past, bad movies weren't made just because stereo sound was available, or because color film was invented. Sure, bad movies USED color and stereo sound, but they weren't created JUST to use them. You can't tell me that 'Twister' wasn't created just to showcase some fancy graphics. I've never seen a movie that was made just to showcase stereo sound. Sure, CGI is a tool. But it's a tool that is being so abused that entire movies are made just because the technology's available.

My original point was this:

Hollywood is overusing CGI.

Like I said, if you can't deduct that "point" from my original post, then I can't help ya.
