Well, being a special effects guy who does both physical and digital effects, I would say, special effects technology is an onward march, and each new innovation sort of adds to the tapestry. There are good and bad applications of everything. A GREAT CG effect, and one I don't think has been topped in some ways, is the "half-melted Billy" effect in "Deep Rising"...it's done mostly with CG "makeup" applied to the actor, and it is beautifully done. I think it redefines what makeup "is" in the digital age.
