When John Waters filmed the infamous final shot of Pink Flamingoes, they had to wait for that dog to do his business. They waited and waited and waited. And when the moment arrived, Divine scooped up that fresh turd, brought it to her mouth, and chewed. That entire film's budget was twice that of John Wick's CGI poo, and Keanu Reeves probably didn't even so much as pretend to sniff it.

What were we talking about?

Oh, right. Practical effects. Today's cinema still has a place for it, dwindling as it might be. I just watched The Hateful Eight, which was done entirely with practical effects, courtesy of Greg Nicotero. His company, KNB, was responsible for the effects in Evil Dead 2. Without spoiling anything, I can say that Tarantino hired the right men for the job.
