Where the fuck are all the practical effects in movies today?

Greenscreens are cheaper I think so they keep using that shit.

time, money, no one gives a shit about practical effects.

Practical effects not only require craftsmanship and precise timing but (in the case of blood squibs/gore) half the set or your actors get covered in something. Reshooting shit like that on a modern moviemaking schedule is not feasible. For example:

>In the scene where Norris' (Charles Hallahan's) head separates from his body, Rob Bottin used highly flammable materials for the construction of interior of the head and neck models. During the shoot, John Carpenter decided that, for continuity reasons, they needed some flames around the scene. Without thinking, they lit a fire bar and the whole room, which by now was filled with flammable gases, caught fire. Nobody got hurt, but the entire special effects model, on which Bottin had worked several months, was destroyed.
>As the film moved into post-production, Rob Bottin found himself virtually living at the studio. He was forced to break from this, when he was diagnosed with exhaustion, and admitted to hospital.

>admitted to hospital

I'll never get over England and their backwards language.

So, basically, they require actual talent.

Practical effects require passion, patience and attention to detail.

It is not particularly surprising that production line movies are not being made by people who are actually passionate about what they're making.

When you make something solely for money, you do whatever is cheapest and easiest but you can still sell. Audiences have spoken, and they're quite happy to spend their money on shitty, cheap CGI-fests.

The truth is marketing has proven to be a much better place to spend money than the actual film.

If only you weren't reddit spacing you would be making a great point.

Because the vast majority of people who pay to watch movies today can't even tell the difference between CGI practical effects.

CGI hasn't gotten better. People have gotten more careless. People can't even make it through a feature length film without looking down at their phones.

No one cares today except purists and retards like us.

And we don't even pay to see movies.

In most cases, shareholders take top priority over everything else (craftsmanship, values, even customers) nowadays. As the previous posts explain, practical effects cost more time, money and carry more risk than going CGI.

You mean chinks have spoken. Dumbass Chinamen like to escape the iPhone factory for a couple hours with Michael Bays latest robot movie.

that was one thing I liked about Ghost in the Shell, despite being a ho-hum movie it actually looked like it was made by people that gave a shit. The world they built looked awesome and not just "what? future sci-fi metropolitan? ok"

Are you trying to add something to the discussion?

Kinda yea. American audiences still have at least a little standards, but the Chinese audience is the reason we keep getting so much dumb CG action porn.
