Can't remember who made the vid, I'll try to look through some tonight and see if I can get back to it
I probably started by watching the other one I mentioned, one about The Thing, though:

Talking about CGI, more importantly, CGI done correctly this popped up on my YT feed last night. The amount of CGI work in Finchers movie is surprising but on reflection blindingly obvious.
I'm not even on about the big scenes, for example, Fincher never uses blood packs for stab wound and bullets, it's all CG. The shot in Girl wt Dragon Tattoo and the blood pouring from Daniel Craigs head when water is washed over it, all CG. The Zodiac gunshot wounds, again CG.

Some of the subtle CGI stuff going on is amazing. I remember the Black Hawk Down commentaries saying how the dust kicked up from the rotors had been removed and replaced, and there's stuff in Better Caul Saul where some of the wounds on a character's face are all CG. couldn't tell even when you were looking for it.

There's a great demo of CGI where you'd never expect it like the outdoor shots of Ugly Betty just walking to a bus stop or walking down a street which were 90% CGI -
What I cannot get over seeing Arnie now and comparing him first appearing in the Expendables to now, it almost looks like he has aged 20 years.
Did I see Summer Glau in that?
Don't think so.
It definitely looks like her at 1:43.
That's the hispanic girl that's being protected, does look a bit like her in that scene, though.

No interest at all in seeing the remake of The Thing. The Carpenter version was perfect. Absolutely perfect.
It doesn't need "improving" with CGI monsters and a dubstep soundtrack
It was not a remake it was a prequel, ie what happened at the Norwegian base before the events of The Thing. What annoyed me was that the block of ice they dug up in the prequel that The Thing was in didnt look to be from the same location that they found the hole it was from in The Thing film. Its worth seeing to be honest just to see how the events marry up right up till the end of the prequel where it finishes with the dog being chased across the ice by the helicopter it goes seamlessly into The Thing.

For me it didn't really "need" explaining in a prequel - we can guess what happened from the content of the Original so showing us it happening was unnecessary, other than the cash grab, and history has shown us to be right, it's hardly talked about compared to the original.

The only thing notable about the prequel is it’s demonstration, that even now, CGI still can be bettered with practical effects.

Maybe it'll be a similar situation to Sean Young and Blade Runner 2049
Not seen it, what did they do there? Digital effects to change his look?
IIRC they actually used a body double and then mapped her face with Young's face from the first movie.

Young was actually involved in the capture process.
