Cowboys and ALiens was okay but I'm not crazy about olivia wilde at all. She was in the movie In Time as JTs mom sort of creepy.

I finally got round to watching "Legend of the guardians" and WOW what a movie. The team that made it was huge, in the credits I counted about 50 lighting artists alone, but the end result was truly beautiful and a real work of art.

Lighting is probably, no not 'probably' but definitely the hardest part of CGI.  First you have to study the conventional theories on lighting and how photons work on different surfaces etc, then you have to mimic that on the textures of just about everything in a scene and also do other things like 'Light Linking' and also all the shadows etc. The beauty of CGI is you can cheat and and have some things not cast a shadow or not reflect photons etc (which you can't do in real life), but in most cases this only adds another level of headache.

I am still scared witless about learning and understanding that element of CGI, while I enjoyed learning how to model, texture, and rig.

That's bc you know too much and you're paying too much attention to details and you don't sit back and relax as the rest of us mortals.  ;D

I haven't been able to do anything on my comp' that's too intensive as a mobo fault causes it to crash. However, 3 weeks ago I bought myself a beast akin to Dweez's but can't set it up until Christmas when I have some time off.

I can't wait :)

Ah, that's torture.  Having it all right there in the boxes but not letting you at them is maddening.

I have been buying other kit for it while I wait, like a triple monitor graph card and an Audiophile audio card to run my studio. All I need now is a 3rd monitor that runs off a HDMI port.

Just to keep things on track, I watched 'Mimic' last night but I'd forgotten how crap the FX were.  Was Mimic 2 any better?

The Thing (2011)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0905372/
Was OK for a Quasi-Remake
But lacked Tension
7/10

True Grit (2010)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1403865/
Hailee Steinfeld was Robbed of a Best Actress Oscar
Good flick --- apart from the CGI Snakes
Slightly Better than the Original
8/10
Catch it if you can...

Maybe if Melissa Leo wasn't nominated that year.  :)

I'd agree 7/10, good prequel - they married up the ending with the start of the 1982 film pretty well.

I am saying she should have been up against Natalie Portman
IE
Not a 'Supporting Role'

and where the hell did 'Michelle Williams / Blue Valentine' come from ?
