WOW! You're a Pretty Demanding Member of the Public, aren't you??!!

Have you heard of "ILM", and do you know that George Lucas owns it??

Yes, I know all about ILM and George Lucas' involvement but what I don't know is how that is relevant to my previous comment. Nor do I know how saying that the star wars prequels had good, but not state of the art CGI, makes me a "Pretty Demanding Member of the Public".

Well - if the guy owns a CGI company - you'd kind of expect his CGI to be state-of-the-art, that's all...... right? (Which, btw, is an opinion that many people hold - Me personally, I *do* find the CGI awesome, as opposed to the story - that' what I go to the hall to watch it for! smile )

You think the CGI in the Star Wars prequels is "awesome"??? Even by the standards of the time they were decent at best. Jurassic Park came out 10 years prior and looked better. In fact, Jurassic Park still holds up today. The Star Wars prequels definitely do not.

You are a cooooondescending little man. I never said I didn't like the movies nor did I say the special effects were bad. I'm saying that they weren't great even by the standards of the time. The Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies were released around the time of the Star Wars prequels and had far better CGI. Jurassic Park was released 10 years prior and had better CGI. Terminator 2 was released even further back and featured better CGI. Again, I'm not saying the CGI in Star Wars is bad. But it was definitely not state of the art for its time and has been completed eclipsed since by the likes of The Avengers, Avatar and the newer, Lucas-free, Star Wars movies.

Well the space ships and all that are good, the live action characters like what's his name Jar Jar binks yeah not up to par. In Attack of the clones in the big fight scene way to much CGI going on, those animals creatures they rode looked really fake

Hey Wow! .....Happy Birthday, I guess! smile ..now, tonight, go out and blow up a killer robot or 2, just to celebrate! - make sure they don't meld back together. That would be a good EMMONSTRATION of your capabilities! smile

Btw, Parekh and Singh from here, who I've talked about before here on the Org, are going to play Dublin - Workman's Social Club from May 18-28 (donno the exact dates for *Dublin* - it's a world or Europe tour) - I'd go see em if I was you. How's that for a (slightly belated) birthday gift? smile

Better late than ever smile

I'll look into Parekh and Singh but there's a good chance I might stick out like a sore thumb.


Thanks for the heads up.

I'd imagine most people there would be Indian. I'm not Indian so I'd probably stick out.
