Christmas is a Die Hard tradition. Because you can't replace Die Hard with any other movie, like Jaws or Battleship Potempkin, and still have christmas.

Toss this one in every single "the backwards progression of CGI needs to be studied" repost please
"I don't like movies that *rely* on 'CGI'" is a ridiculous thing to say.

VFX credits for #TheOdyssey so far reveal CGI environments and CGI creatures.
The IMDb credits are usually very limited before a movie's release, so we'll see when the movie opens how many make it to the credits.

How "original" do you want your Star Wars?
I'm as thrilled as anyone to see Han shoot first and all that original magic.
But if they didn't also clean up the rough composites I think a lot of people are going to be surprised when they're reminded how pre-digital compositing looks

Name an effect/scene in a recent Hollywood film that looked awesome and was entirely practical with zero CGI
(something one might think CGI could be used for -- not "OMG stuntman fell down stairs and it wasn't CGI")

The lengths to which people will go to call a 90% CGI shot "a practical effect" is crazy.
Yes, there is a practical element in the shot (a practical element that mostly consists of computer generated interpolation frames nonetheless) but what do they think replaced the giant greenscreen? Nostalgia?

One of the great injustices of my upbringing is that as a kid I was told "it will likely never be possible for mankind to travel to other stars" and then as an adult learn about the Fermi paradox, "it's weird aliens haven't visited us".

So I've been seeing some "didn't people know 'here's Johnny' was already a pop culture reference before The Shining?"
And as a non US citizen - confirmed, I had no idea.
We only got the top selection of your film & TV and this wasn't among it.
I also still have no idea what the 3 stooges are.

SAM, where have you been!! I will not forgive audiences if they let this flop, too. Have your sequel reboot remakes then, and never complain about lack of original movies.

This feature illustrates how CGI is an artform that immense effort and talent goes into. And it's just as much an artform today, on films like Top Gun: Maverick, Frankenstein and Alien: Romulus, they just don't make VFX featurettes anymore.
