I just noticed Austin Stoker (MacDonald in "Battle") has been added to the lineup at the Egyptian Theater "Apes" marathon Q & A, joining Eric Braeden (Hasslein), Don Murray (Breck), Linda Harrison (No-va!) and H.M. Wynant (Hoskyns in "Conquest").

It was a madhouse, a maaaadhouse! I didn't think there would be anyone there but it was a long line of people with stacks of comics to be signed. Not POTA but their other work, with superheroes. But it was cool. Gabriel drew the general with an eye patch in my Eric Greene book and he drew a Zauis for John. His wife Corinna was there (the writer of "Betrayal") but I was the only one that asked her to sign stuff. I had them sign a "Betrayal" # 1 for John.
Both are true blue POTA fans who jumped at the chance to do a comic. Gabriel said he was offered the job doing the storyboards for "Rise 2" but isn't sure he can fit it in his schedule (comics come first). As for "Rise", he liked it but the human characters less so. I like Gabriel's art, it looks very classical. I told him the Ape fans were really happy with "Betrayal". He said he really wanted to do a story in the era of the original film and was glad he got to. Corinna was digging the Eric Greene book with all the signatures and took a picture of Gabriel's artwork in it.
And that's about it. I ate at McDonald's.

By the need to try and make things easier. What was originally intended to be used to supplement certain elements of a film is now often depended upon to carry the entire project. It's lazy.

Oh, I agree completely that too many films depend way too much on CGI these days.  And it's used much, much more than most people realize. I haven't seen it, but I'd be shocked if the "The Artist" doesn't have a number of CGI shots.  They use it now to change the sky, add buildings, add walls, etc.  The best CGI is the kind you never notice.

But to dismiss the artistry that went into "Rise" is silly.

I'm not one who thinks "Rise" deserves a bunch of Oscars.  While I thoroughly enjoyed the film, the script has numerous problems, the human characters were by-and-large irrelevant, and there are leaps of logic that are pretty significant.  But the artistry that went into its effects are certainly Oscar-worthy, just as is the artistry that went into every film nominated for its visual effects.

Though it's probably a legit complaint that there's too many people giving out awards this time of year, this one is neat because it spotlights more of the music scores, an underrated part of a film (the Oscar for Best Score tends to be the usual suspects). "Rise" is nominated for "Best Action/Adventure/Thriller" score with "Drive", "Capt. America", "Mission: Impossible 4" and "Real Steel". Curiously, it did not get nominated in the "Fantasy/ Science Fiction" category ("Hugo"?). Doyle also received a nomination for Best Documentary Score for "Jig".
