Just sat down with Melinda to watch Beowulf, which is all motion-capture CGI. We watched about five minutes of repetitive background textures, wonky lighting effects, cracked physics, and unnecessary rotation and bullet-time cuts, heavily salted with clothing that hangs just a bit wrong on bodies that just don't quite move like humans under

For me, the not-so-subtle wrongness of the visuals was acually part of the appeal -- it matched with the not-quite-right-ness of the story itself.

For me, it was a just too distracting. I felt like I was watching someone else play an X-Box game, maybe? I'll give it another shot later, just to see what was done to Beowulf's geneology...
