This year's breakouts like 'Project Hail Mary' and 'Obsession' were made by filmmakers who sweated. While CG-stuffed franchise disappointments such as 'Supergirl,' 'Moana,' and 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' looked lazy.
Agree even the puppets that are made for practical filming often get fully replaced with CGI anyway. Its just people like to hear practical even if it is not true.
Practical effects generally need to be planned before filming and that planning seems to both force restraint on the director and planning of the shot, which forces the director to decide on the visuals early in the process.
Practical effects also generally helps the actors give better performances since there are more visual cues informing emotional states.
There is also an uncanny valley that CGI can still fall in.
I agree that audiences likely don’t care about the difficulty of the shot, but it seems to affect how audiences receive the output.
I know you’re using hyperbole, but that’s just factually untrue. I know many avid moviegoers who care about the craft just as much as the final product itself. Is it every one of my friends? No, absolutely not, some will still go see whatever Disney or MCU schlock is being put out now simply because of the brand label, but that’s far from the general consensus. I’m aware that this is all anecdotal, but still, please try to overgeneralize a little less; the more frequently half-true opinions like that are spouted, the more likely it is that they become the truth (at least in the eyes of the big studios)
Not delivering some Disney or Marvel schlock doesn’t have to mean the movie has to be hard to make.
As long as
a) it works as a whole movie
b) tells a compelling story
c) doesn’t look like someone vomited on the screen
I don’t care if it was made with practical effects or CGI.
I don’t disagree with anything you said, and even if I did, you didn’t present your case with any unnecessary aggression, unlike that other guy. Good job buddy, you earn an A+ in “Talking respectfully to people” today 🙂
Wow, wasn’t expecting that. You need any help removing that rose bush from your asshole? Because it’s clearly setting off some nerves and causing any rational parts of your brain to be replaced with unwarranted bouts of vitriol and rage. You should probably see a doctor before you lose any chance of becoming a respectable person ever again
This is just ridiculous. Movie goers don’t give a shit how hard it is to make a movie.

The inputs affect the outputs.

Who pissed in your coffee this morning? This is a conversation about movies. It’s not a big deal.
