prostoalex writes "MIT's Technology Review takes a look at the world of digital special effects, the industry worth half a billion dollars per year, according to the authors. It talks about the role of SFX in movie production nowadays and comes to the connclusion that while might not 100% computer-created in the future, we'll see more of realistic-looking special effects in future titles."

I'll tell you something: Whether he has the illness or not (there's debate about that), he certainly didn't have the technique done in order to contradict himself.
