It is a story, one about how even those that purport to know something really know nothing. For example there was a Sigourny Weaver movie made on Digital Video for less than $150K, and alot of us/.ers have seen the Platrix and South Powers and lots of other great short animation on the net, lets look at the simple economics, movie making equipment is cheaper than ever, mainly due to DV and computer animation / editing, you can't sneeze in LA without hitting a wannabe actor/actress parking cars or waiting tables, not to mention the hordes of stage acting talent in every major city on the planet, sets can be digitally created, who knows maybe one day all films will be shot on blue screens and the set added digitally later. What is left for lavish expenses? Costumes? Cringelys article is a tour de force of the type of myopic thinking that all these "pundits" engage in, and if he's really good in ten years he'll claim my writing as his own and be praised as a visionary./cynical bastard

Why isn't there a "Cringely" icon for slashdot? It seems that every time he publishes something, it ends up here!
Fuck that, why isn't there a "-1 Same-Old-Cringely-Complaints" moderation option for every time I read this exact same comment in a Cringely talkback?
