-Tom Hiddleston

About CGI:

"The biggest danger of this technology, of course, is that it will fall into the hands of moneygrubbing hacks with the artistic sensibilities of gnats. It's already happened. The world's screens are dominated by soulless movies full of sound and fury, signifying nothing: pointless chases, explosions, gratuitous violence, explosions, lots of speed, explosions, and just for good measure, more explosions. The story is usually predictable, the acting bereft of nuance, the sentiments banal. But the special effects are impeccable."

The amount of respect that movie's got is absolutely unbelievable." - Ingmar Bergman
