Amen. The studios are not using CGI for saving money, which is really what it needs to be used for.
And the money saving part should enhance a story, not become a substitute for it.
Roger Corman made so many of the famous directors who they are today by getting a low budget and delivering on the story behind it, no matter how schlocky it was. His proteges took that work ethic and did amazing things with it.
A lot of the amateur work on Youtube could be bumped up for little to no money when measured by Hollywood standards, and make a profit for all involved. But hey, put stupid liberals in charge and you get stupid crap as output.
