If Hollywood could get as excited about a new hot shot screenwriter or some brilliant up and coming actor I'd be far more excited than I am about its current hysteria towards frames per second. I'll just wait and see what kind of movies it produces to see if it's capable of creating anything more than some impressive eye candy. Although if impressive eye candy is what ultimately puts bums on seats I suppose I can't blame Hollywood for providing it. Hollywood's a business, first and foremost, and I'm sure these new advances will be great for film on that level. I'm still unconvinced as to whether they''ll contribute much to it as an artform, though. As you say, though, we'd probably be better off returning to this debate in five years time, when we've seen what it
does produce, instead of arguing about what some of us think it
might.
