Acting is all in the pixels

Jennifer Connolley cannot act!!!!
Or at least it appears that way…read it here
What this means is that soon actors will just have to show up and give a wooden line reading and go home. Great news for Beyonce. Soon the visual effects department will be nominated for acting awards.

I love the fact that Tom Cruise has a clause in his contract granting him full control of his own digital assets. This either means his performances are not digitally altered (in which case he seriously needs a re-think), or they are (in which case visual effects are years off creating human like emotion).

I knew it .... I've said it many times and now I have the confirmation ... Those damn eyebrows that have bothered me for so long are, the ones so freakishly dominant that there is no way they were naturally sprouted ! It all makes sense now, they are they work of thousands of skilled computer artists working feverishly for months if not years to ensure that they remain at the fore front of every shot , every photo , every personal appearance of the creature we call "The Disgustingly Ungrateful Academy Award winner". They have been present whenever it has reared its ugly head since production on the Labyrinth completed. Now we know, the pivotal factor in her controversial oscar win was CGI !!

What I can't understand is if all the CGI went into tear making and emotion, why on God's green earth did they not chuck a couple of dollars at digitally reducing those gargantuan eyebrows?? She is one brace away from ugly betty and they waste money on her wooden performances??!!! Go Figure......

If you gave the planters nut man some hair and took away the monocle and hat it would look like Tom Cruise
