I'm so sick of hearing boomers talking about Practical FX are better then CGI, it's the dumbest argument I've ever heard. look at this pic and tell me its not the cheesiest thing you've ever seen? with CGI, it might have not looked 100% realistic but far more then this!
its the reason why I cant watch any 80s sci-fi movies like Aliens or Terminator and such, I just end up laughing at how cheesy and corny they look. the Xenomorphs look like they belong on the set of power rangers then on a bug budget hollywood film.
furthermore, CGI is the heir to stop motion animation, its the heir to the work of O'Brian and Rey Harryhausen. The effect from stuff like predator is more akin to those trash godzilla films. when defending practical over CGI, you're essentially saying a guy in a rubber suit is better then the work that is the heir of king kong.
Back to plebbit with your npc nonsense. Also, have sex.

I kind of agree with you, even tho in most things,except horror practical is worth it's salt. I think the patrician choice is mix practical with cgi, think about the first Iron man or lord of the rings, even jurassic Park. Use both of them will triumph a single one regardless every time.

$800,000 of CGI >>> $50,000 of practical effects >> $50,000 of cgi = $10,000 of practical effects >> $1000 bad cgi youbsee in most infdie horror movies

>"n,n,no! my cheesy 80s kino is good! its not cheap looking or goofy where you can see the string on the puppets! have sex!
I think the "CG BAD" shit is retarded and I don't even understand why that's supposedly a Reddit opinion, since I'm pretty sure those fags fell for that meme too, but The Thing does honestly look impressive to this day

>rebuttal to practical FX being shit >uses stop motion animation, which is the father of CGI
are you retarded user? stop motion isn't practical FXs. Practical FX are stuff like suits and make up..

Whenever I see a good set from an old movie I feel like shit knowing it would all be blue screened now.
Cooper Phillips
This is some high-quality bait
Jayden Hughes
retard, stop motion is a form of puppetry, in fact the Star Wars OT made extensive use of it for stuff like the AT-AT
Aaron Thompson
stop motion was the CGI at its time, actors looking at blank screens of blue while pretending to interact with objects not there. ita the same thing.
when you defend stop motion, you defend CGI. CGI is just a superior version of stop motion animation.
Justin Anderson
Why do people type 'then' instead of 'than'? I don't get it. OP did it twice.

Please stop embarrassing yourself

If you can't appreciate the chronenburgian disgusting effects of the greatest horror movie ever made you can fuck right off. The alien isn't even the true monster of that movie. It's paranoia.
Carter Allen
You know, I'm not even going to waste my time arguing why you're stupid and wrong. I just wanted to point out how utterly autistic you are. Faggot.
I have to applaud OP for at least going the extra mile and coming up with original bait instead of rehashing the same tired shit like everybody else on this fucking board.
Jackson Foster
Practical effects are based because they look tangible, like you can touch them, because they are. Makes it more immersive when I know that prop or monster actually existed at one point instead of being 1s and 0s.
Eli Martin
The answer is not either/or but the blend of pratical combined with CGI for the perfect mix.
Nathan Reed
CG on top of a practical actual base is and will always be the best possible option
Juan Roberts
why does he wear the mask
Michael Perry
Actually kill yourself faggot
Isaac Murphy
I thought about posting this brand of bait like 2 days ago but I was too lazy to do it and ultimately ended up being distracted by something so I forgot. So yeah, good shit OP. 7.5/10
