CGI is what it is. I think it is sad that even movies that have no need for it are doing it to keep budgets down and "add to the film", when just better supporting actors and writing probably would have been much better.
I also think it's in a way scary that now there can be no boundaries. Just the right computer clicks and we can have ANYTHING we want, but it also gives false ideas of what is possible, especially in a drama or comedy. Movies I don't think need to be so "fake". Give me old time special FX like those used in the original Star Wars or Superman or Close Encounters or ET. Where FX men had to be truly creative and thins done were "human" and not computerized.
In Sci-Fi tho, CGI is great, but I truly believe that should be it's only use.
In 10-20 years I see Hollywood barely existing. I see technology becoming so great people will be able to sit at home and put in any actor into any movie or even crate movies and then sharing them via the net

You mean Danny Elfman. He wrote a lot of movie and TV themes (the Simpsons, Tales From The Crypt, Fast Times At Ridgemont High, Just about every Tim Burton and Marvel movie).
He's married to Bridget Fonda and his brother is divorced from Jenna Elfman.
He's also almost deaf.
I'm a big fan but the man can't sing, OIngo Boingo could have been a bigger band with their style of music if they'd have had a better singer.
