When I am the increasingly demented ruler of Earth

There will be terrible consequences for filmmakers who cannot justify their poorly lit films. Terrible consequences.

Once they are dealt with, all the gratuitous jerky-cam users can also expect a midnight visit from the James Got a Headache Trying to Watch Your Damn Film Police.

Something I realized watching Snow White and the Huntman: today, CGI means movies don't have to hire Little People any more, as regular actors can just be morphed through special effects. I wonder how long it will take for CGI to be used to eliminate other groups from casting calls?

Can you put the people responsible for the whole teal-and-orange thing on your List too?

Isn't the ultimate ambition of CGI to eliminate those pesky human actors altogether?

Can I make a special plea for the JGAHTTWYDM Police to visit those moviemakers who are attempting to make us all deaf?

Did you not realise this when watching the LOTR movies?

Or did you avoid those for religious reasons?

I wonder if it's likely to be used the other way. We've seen how women's magazines use photomanips to massage real women towards their ideals of beauty, and we've seen books and adaptations where non-Caucasian characters got whitewashed; is there a reason that wouldn't happen to actors once the technology makes it easy?
