And as PAUL DRECK prays for next weekend to be better -- and his prayer will probably be answered, as he prays to...well, we won't guess to whom he prays, but we think his god may reside under the earth's crust -- another Big V hack points to the future of fillum, whatever future that is:

There's no longer any question whether special effects can be made more realistic: The issue is whether disposable actors can be trained to play better with bluescreens.

We're not sure what our scribbler means by "disposable actors", but we think he means flesh-and-blood types. But then the whole biz is heading toward a time when flesh-and-blood actors will be superfluous, an apt future for a business that has pretty well become superfluous, blue screens or no.

The premise for these fights hasn't moved beyond 1925's "The Lost World"....
