It's a tool, like anything else, and as time goes on and audiences get more discerning about the effects (they already are quickly) you'll see less crappy CG. A major advantage to this new era of CG accessibility is that it makes projects possible that wouldn't have been any other way like Lord of the Rings or Spider-man.

You have to find a website that shows cinematic releases through the decades so you can see that there has ALWAYS been tons of dumb crappy movies that came out, we just don't remember those ones. When you were younger films seemed better because you didn't have the experience of comparison to rely on. Trust me, "Six Days and Seven Nights" is NOT a good movie. There's just as much good to bad movies coming out now as there were when you were a kid. Hell, I'd argue that they're getting BETTER at the big budget ones. Not everything is going to be a winner but you can't say that the powers that be aren't making any good "big" films. This summer alone we got Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Kung-Fu Panda, The Forbidden Kingdom, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Prince Caspian, Indiana Jones, and shortly Wall-E (which I've been told by pretty much everyone is fricking amazing). What are you complaining about?

If you like the little indie conversation films, great. I do too. But there is room for both and sometimes with film you DO want to put style over substance. Nothing wrong with a well-done scary haunted house or rollercoaster ride or the cinematic equivalent.

Yes, I adore Chuck. He is totally insane in the best possible way.

As stupid comedies (that probably should have gone direct to dvd) go, this was one of the less bad ones.
