It's scary how all of entertainment is being subsumed under one company

    Particle effects? I prefer PRACTICAL effects over CGI if that’s what you are saying.

    And yes, Hollywood films are shit. The last time there was a full year with a sold line up was probably in 1999, and that was forever ago

      When I say particle effects, I'm talking specifically about the swirly GC dust-stuff in way too many movies. It's typically used to depict magical energies and bullshit like that. I think there are some producers who maybe think "particle effects = good special effects", literally just a "look at all that shit" mentality.

      Here's an example of too goddamn many particle effects: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KdYm_BUZS4

      Also that was the most memorable and interesting trailer from the whole compilation I watched, and that shit looks hella lame.
