  • In 50 years time (I’ll be half-robot by then) I’m going to show my great, great grandchildren this, the Jurassic Park stuff, and original Star Wars stuff just to show them how smart folks were back in the 70’s onwards.
    By then they’ll take everything for granted and won’t understand the effort put in to create real CGI wizardry.
