Here’s the latest trailer for Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson’s “The Adventures of Tintin.”

All the spectacle looks really interesting–especially the parts were the two ships are dueling.

That being said, and based only on the images that I have seen thus far, the characters still haven’t shaken that rubbery look CGI motion capture is infamous for.

I am just wondering why they didn’t just use real actors, minus the motion capture, because I haven’t seen too many photo-real CGI characters that don’t have that walking dead look in their eyes.

And speaking of “The Walking Dead,” (cool segue, Yes?), the first episode of the second season premiered, and it was pretty good–though I thought that some of the dead, when they were shot or killed by various weapons, looked a bit fake.

I understand that it is fake, but it makes me wonder are we seeing the effect of the budget cuts the series have undergone.

If this was the episode that Frank Darabont was fired over, I am confused because it was relatively strong.
