"FX" - the role of special effects in today's films
Hey all - was posting on a thread and thinking about this.
I missed the 60 Minutes special on the special effects in Sin City, and how uniquely the film was made, but I was told about it and it's been mulling around my head a bit.
Then, someone posted that a new movie was a bit over the top when it came to special effects for horror, and that it sort of took away from the film.
In my opinion there's no question there's an over-reliance on special effects in films these days - and apparently (according to an old boyfriend of mine) cars don't really blow up just because they roll over, or even when they catch fire! And yet that's one of the most popular special effects out there.
In any case, I think it's an intriguing topic and as you can tell from the above message I'm not sure where to take this or quite what I think about it. There's no single answer, and it's definitely worth a debate.
And now that I'm typing this I think we already had a thread on this topic... *goes to look at master list*
