Feature-Length Matrix Spoof to be Released Soon
CrazyMFW writes "'The Helix Loaded', a feature length spoof of the Matrix, has been unveiled to coincide with the general release of The Matrix Revolutions. At LA screenings of the third matrix installment, customers are being handed CD-ROMS shaped like a Red Pill or a Blue Pill. The CD-ROM includes a teaser trailer as a quicktime movie, and directs users to the web site for The Helix. The teaser trailers can also be downloaded from the site. No release date is mentioned for the film, but it does promise several further teaser installments at 2 week intervals - so we should learn more in the next couple of months. From the brief clips it looks like they've done a good job imitating the Matrix CGI on a low-budget."
Once upon a time, in the early 90s, the term *was* CGI: Computer Generated Images, or Computer Generated Imagery. Only circa 1996 did I start hearing people refer to computer graphics for movies as "CG."
I knew of CGI as a movie acronym long before I knew of CGI as a Web programming acronym -- and I was writing CGI guestbook applications in 1995, using C and printf/getenv. So I think the Common Gateway Interface would lose in any sort of chronological pissing contest.
It's Computer Generated Imagery. That what it's always meant. Always. Even back when SGI hardware was doing most of the CGI.
