Ghost Rider Effects Update
In response* to my complaints about the effects in the Ghost Rider trailer, Marvel has put up some stills of more skeletons and motorcycles on fire. They look a little better than what was in the teaser trailer, but we'll see how that actually pans out once it's put in motion. If you ask me, the only way we're going to get a realistic flaming skull is to set a real one on fire, then have a couple little dwarves or something in the suit and set it on them. I know a guy who can get the skulls, and for an extra $20 he won't tell you their name or what he did to them. It's usually worth it.
*Not a direct response. I'm largely ignored.

It's just another example of how Hollywood has forgotten how great practical effects really work. All this digital crap is too easily noticed by the eye. Let's go back to some real creativity and quit trying to save a buck or a few midget's lives.

I saw the trailer for Ghost Rider at the theater today, and I must say that it is somehow even gayer-looking on the big screen than it is on your computer monitor. I could take a dump on a Harley and set fire to it, and it'd be better than this Marvel turd.
