CGI About to Boom In Hollywood

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the whats-your-vector-victor dept.

FortKnox writes "Because of the success of "Monsters Inc" and "Shrek", many major hollywood studios are scrambling getting on the CGI bandwagon. Looks like we're about to get smothered by CGI movies left and right. For those that like to tinker with CG, it might be a good time to go jobhunting..." Several upcoming movies mentioned. Some ven look like they might have potential ;)

    As soon as they release a fully funded blockbuster hollywood film detailing the rise of Rob and Slashdot, with Keanu Reeves as Rob (you know he can play the Taco!).

    "The public threads on Slashdot are very contentious," Katz acknowledges. "I've been accused of everything under the sun, from pedophilia to plagiarism to inventing a mythical Jon Katz."

    Now that's funny!

    I don't know about you, but I think that Elijah Wood sucked ass.

    The others were good enough though that it didn't ruin the movie for me.

  13. It's the Characters, the Plot, and the Meaning by strannik · · Score: 1, Offtopic


    One of the most workable plays is "Our Town" by
    Thornton Wilder. It's scenery is composed of
    a ladder and a few chairs. The story, Plot,
    characters, philosophy/poetry and acting is what
    does the trick. I'm waiting for the movie where
    all the actors do their thing in front of the blue screen, and they don't bother filling in the blue with anything.
