Just saw this ridiculous article over at /Film (which is a great film blog that you should read if you don't already) and thought I'd share it's retardation with you all. It's about how once relevant and talented filmmaker Robert Zemeckis believes that a technology he has used for his past few movies deserves it's own Academy Award category.
The technology he refers to is motion capture, a technology he didn't even pioneer, but rather ran into the ground with his horrid films The Polar Express, Beowulf, and the recent A Christmas Carol. Zemeckis seems to think that what he's doing with motion capture isn't animation, nor is it live action, so because of that, it deserves it's own Academy Award. Since no one else in Hollywood is obsessed with motion capture like he is (maybe because all fully motion capture films look fucktarded?), his movies would be the only ones in the category. Sure, other live action movies use motion capture, but these are not what Zemeckis is referring to.
It basically boils down to this: Zemeckis doesn't want a special effects win, or an animation win, but would rather have a category tailored just for him and his dumb movies that no one else makes because no one else wants to waste their time. Your head has gotten quite big, Zemeckis.
