true, though internet complaining =/= box office. We'll have to see how the upcoming ones do... I agree that the bubble is definitely going to burst, it's just a question of time.
I think that in general, though, the CGI bubble needs to burst as well. Yes CGI is cool, but I'm getting tired of fancy CGI coming instead of plot and characters, as opposed to being window dressing and a tool enabling the telling of fantastical stories.

OMG, yes, yes, yes to the CGI stuff! Yeah, it looks pretty but A. technology marches on and today's fantastic special effect is tomorrow's eye roll; B. you can have the prettiest explosion in the theaters but if I don't feel any emotion to the main characters what good is a pretty explosion?

I kind of wish Hollywood would turn out some quieter character studies films instead of the constant churn of blockbusters. It would be cheaper (I imagine), artistic, and it would give us a break from the blockbusters (and I think this bubble would last a little longer if we had a break from it every now and again).

[ketita]

Yes, same here! I mean, half the reason I don't go to theaters often is because of the prices. Well what if they could make movies more cheaply, and then sell tickets for less? At this point a more artistic movie would be a breath of fresh air.
Fancy explosions and sweeping CGI-scapes are no longer interesting. It was amazing when Star Wars came out and nobody had seen the like before, but we're kind of past that.
You know what, it doesn't even have to be completely non-fantastical films, you know? You can have magic! but let the CGI serve the plot instead of the other way around. (I had kind of hoped that the Ender's Game movie would be like that... but alas, it was a bad movie...)

[iceyred]

Yeah, I don't have the money to go see movies very often. I'm just not interested in non-existent plots and static characters.

Oh, they could definitely do a fantasy/sci-fi movie without over-doing the CGI. I mean, 'Labyrinth' was great. So was 'The Dark Crystal' and 'The Never Ending Story.'
