crewless news and notes

You know, I’m totally over computer-generated movie effects. They have their place (Jackson’s Kong remake is pretty impressive, and some CG gore saved my arse in Hide and Creep), but I generally prefer in-camera and other old-school-type effects. Especially in older films. Nothing makes CG stick out like forcing it into a movie from 1977, say Star Wars, for example.

And, since they ruined Star Wars with unneeded CG, I shouldn’t be surprised that they’re getting ready to ruin the classic Star Trek television series the same way.

I mean, damn. You can read more about this depressing turn of events over at The Digital Bits.
