Do we take special effects for granted?



                                                                    
       I’ve only just got around to watching Oz the Great and Powerful, because everyone said it was shit. But as I was watching it half-arsed I got really into it. Probably had something to do with Mila Kunis being on my screen and, well, me being male. But I got really into it and I thought the special effects were very well done, and I was still strangely attracted to Kunis,  even when she had a weird green fucked up face, but don’t judge.

    The point I’m trying to make is that when The Wizard of Oz came out in 1939. everybody had a shit fit because of the pretty colours. In the years that followed, technology advanced and colour film became the norm. A few years back we were given the orgasm of CGI, more commonly known as: Avatar. This 3 Dimensional clusterfuck soon became the highest grossing film on its opening weekend EVER. (I read that on the tinter web, so I could be bullshitting.) But anyway, this leads to me to my next point. Oz the Great and Powerful also had a hell of a lot of CGI and… Stuff, and people said it was shit. The effects were just as believable as Cameron’s 8ft blue aliens and nobody that I know even gave a shit. The annoying thing is, Avatar is one of the most overrated films I’ve ever seen.
