If someone wants to make an animated horror movie, they need to go to the Polar Express people for tips about animation technique.
Or ask the ILM folks about Jar Jar.
River: I know you have questions. Mal: That would be why I just asked them.

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think in that case they'd want Lucas' scripting techniques rather than the ILM folks' CGI ones.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
I think Pixar in particular is at the point where it can make anything non-organic look absolutely, fool-the-eye realistic. A few of the scenes in Syndrome's fortress had moments when there weren't any people on screen, and the rockets and computers and things were flawless. But with people, plants and animals they go cartoony, and I hope it stays that way. Nobody's good enough for true photorealism yet, and the attempts just look creepy.

It will be a weird day when they can make totally realistic computer animated people. Think of all the dead famous people who will be appearing in new movies....

I hope that never happens, because just the idea of it made me shudder like a shuddering thing. If anyone attempts it, I suspect the visceral icky wrongness of the very idea will keep people away from the box office.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Oliver Reed in Gladiator. Though he was mostly alive for most of it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Vestibules have a sketch about Lawrence Olivier endorsing Coca Cola post-mortem. I imagine they laughed their asses off when they saw the cast list for Sky Captain.

And eerie as fuck in that big close-up when it was obvious that he was being CGI animated postmortem.
