I still think Terminator 2 has one of the most properly used cgi ever. Sure it's not as realistic as can be done today but its filmed in perfectly!

I blame Tony Scott

That's funny. I wonder if he did, too.

826 (Spring-Fall 1887)

 

False "intensification": 1. in romanticism: this constant Espressivo is no sign of strength but of a feeling of deficiency;

2. picturesque music, so-called dramatic music, is above all easier (as is the brutal colportage and the enumeration of faits and traits [facts and traits] in the naturalistic novel);

3. "passion" a matter of nerves and wearied souls; like the delight in high mountains, deserts, storms, orgies, and horrors--in teh bulky and massive (e.g., on the part of historians); there actually exists a cult of orgies of feeling (--how does it happen that strong ages have an opposite need in art--a need for a realm beyond passion?)

4. preference for exciting material (erotica or socialistica or pathologica): all signs that show for whom one is working today: for the overworked and absent-minded or enfeebled.

One has to tyrranize in order to produce any effect at all.

 

827 (Spring-Fall 1887)

 

Modern art as an art of tyrannizing---- A coarse and strongly defined logic of delineation; motifs simplified to the point of formulas; the formula tyrranizes. Within the delineations a wild multiplicity, an overwhelming mass, before which the senses become confused; brutality in color, material, desires. Examples: Zola, Wagner; in a more spiritual order, Taine. Thus: logic, mass and brutality."

-- Nietzsche, The Will to Power, Book Three, Chapter IV, "The Will to Power as Art"
