Speaking of which, how exactly did they handle that in the live-action version of "La Blue Girl"?

The answer is garden hose, if you honestly wanted to know mrgazpacho.

You wouldn't happen to be a Red Dwarf fan, would you?

Anyways, I tend to agree that animation is a better outlet for creative expression in film. I liken it to painting around the time the camera was invented. Around that time, painters started to stop trying so hard to mimic reality and started using their artform to interpret reality. (The impressionists, for example) I think that, as digital effects and computer animation expand what can be done to replicate reality, animation will be sought out by the artists as a forum to express interpretations of reality, and then complete unreality. Animated characters can do little more to act to bring out emotions in people than human actors, but animation as a whole may be better in the long run for expressing emotion.

Yes I realize there are a lot of great special effect out there that can make Wesly Snipes seem cool, but to be quite honest, most digital effects are quite cheezy (excluding the matrix) and including Blade II

they haven't gotten making a person with cg perfect yet. it still looks pretty bad. just look at the new matrix. when Agent Smith is jumping on the cars it doesn't look too good.

True but its not as if they dont have the money to do it,and needing a lot of money to make a movie isan't a bad thing(At least not for the fans,and with a movie like the matrix not for the production studio either coz they soon earn it back)

its unreal to think that when i first saw the movie I didn't know what the hell was going on or what it was about but by the end I loved it. It still had kind of a sleeper hype to it, it wasn't all that popular in the beginning. then.... BOOOOOOOM! Shocked everybody. I still am amazed.
