Rick Baker retires. This is bad.

CGI isn't bad thing, but it also isn't the Special Effects wonder tool it's treated as, and lots of what is out there is bad. I think I personally mostly gave up when Underworld came out, the idea that CGI was the only thing was so ingrained that that film's participial effects where literally blown off as "oh it's just CGI" when with the exception of transnational morph effects for the lycans everything was done with practical effects, no matter what you think of the film's story or the acting the effects are impressive one you know 90% of them where NOT CGI. But it's gotten to a point where audiences think every effect is CGI and studios think CGI effects are all they need.
