Re: Rick Baker retires. This is bad.

well I just have to say, it isn't just ONE problem here. The over use of CGI has left audiences jaded to the point that impressive practical effects are dismissive as "just cg". Studios have the problem of applying CGI when a practical effect would look better or applying CG as a band-aid to situations where effects are called for.

One example is lower budget horror movies, the "goreorror"(movies that depend on gore for scares) genera often has CGI used to add buckets of unnecessary and unrealistic looking blood. While unrealistic blood levels old hat for many horror movie generas, the GCI blood is poorly done and makes it look like everyone has over pressured veins pumping tomato soup though their bodies. the effect isn't needed and makes the film even hokier.
