Anti CGI snob.
CGI creatures > Make Up actors.
It's not about being an anti CGI "snob", it's about being anti bad CGI. That character just looks absolutely fake.Samtemdo8 said:
When CGI is done alright, like in your example of PotC I have no problem with it, but the practical effects used in the Harry Potter films just looked better to me than whatever this is.
Bah CGI looks fine in my eyes......and I just like Goblins, own a whole deck of them in Magic the Gathering cards:TrulyBritish said:
See, I can't help but feel this is why you and I never seem to really see eye to eye as it where. I don't mean this in an offensive way, but you just seem content to be happy that something you like (whether it be DC heroes, World or Warcraft or, in this case, Goblins) is in movies at all and when I say that the quality isn't great we just kind of reach a stalemate.Samtemdo8 said:
Robocop and Fight Club. I really wish I could like those two movies. Several of my friends say Robocop is some kind of touchstone that defines the films of my generation. Frankly I've never liked Verhoeven movies. Any of them. It's veiled political soapboxing and societal satire behind ultra-violence. And it thinks its audience is so stupid it has to shout its "veiled" themes at the top of its lungs loudly while banging a gavel on a cast-iron pan for them to get the point. In their own way Verhoeven movies are so condescending to their audience I can't help but hate them. While secretly mourning the fact that the intended audience probably is that stupid and that explains those movie's success.
And Fight Club. I thought from the beginning, "wow, the narrator met a lunatic criminal. He should really get away and alert the authorities." Then Tyler became more and more a violent offender. Then the "twist." And still I'm saying to myself "he really should have gotten help a long time ago. Yes, society sucks... but that doesn't change the fact that 'our hero' is really just a common criminal who deserves jail time or a bullet while fleeing police." Any deeper meaning is lost to me when framed as "because the world isn't perfect we can ignore basic social contract rules to change the world." And of course, there is such a thing as being better than the thing you don't think works to affect change. You know, what a non-criminal sociopath does to try and enact positive change.
It would be easier to just like those movies like it seems everyone else does.

Ex Machina, Chef.
With E.M, I really liked the premise, but the movie was soo glacial in it's pacing, it felt like a bad 4 hour movie. Plus the main character (Caleb, so forgettable I just had to quickly Google the movie) annoyed the crap out of me.
With Chef, I like Fav's work, but this movie... it came off as self serving and somewhat narcissistic. As I said, I like his movies, but I just can't like this one.
