Quote - has everyone seen Shrek, which is 100% CGI?  It was a good movie and fun too. 

I tried to watch it but didn't get very far.  I just don't like movies that star CGI characters. They just don't capture or keep my interest. I find myself nodding off or my mind wandering and itching to get up and be anywhere else but watching what is on the screen.  I prefer movies that have real, live people in front of the cameras acting, not CGI characters with actors doing voice overs.

The exception are the old cartoons such as The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Yogi Bear , Bugs Bunny etc..... basically mindless entertainment.  Yes I know they aren't computer generated...or at least I don't think so.  However, I was using it as an exception to my "real live people in front of the camera" preference.
