re: #245 Higgs Boson’s Mate

There’s still something to be said for doing things with practical effects - like say the scenes in Inception where they were flipping the set around to mimic the van flipping off the road. Sure, it could be done with CGI, but there’s a weight that CGI just hasn’t been able to capture thus far. Heck, even the Matrix bullet time shots were practical effects using multiply linked cameras to get the desired outcome.

And far too many directors use CGI to cover up gaping holes in their stories (Michael Bay and George Lucas, I’m looking at you). Explosions are not a substitute for exposition.
