its finally happened

remember when computer generated characters started gaining realism and they were speculating that one day in the future they would bring back old movie stars and there would be entire movies made with charlie chaplin and elvis and brad pitt all in the same movie and they wouldn't need to make new movies with live new stars because the could just make new movies with old dead stars?

well, it's happened and not like they expected. just saw an orville redenbacher popcorn commercial with a computer generated orville redenbacher trying to sell me popcorn on a set populated with live people. at first i thought it was an old commercial that had been digitally retouched so it didn't look like it had come off a 25 year old video tape. but then i looked closer and saw that only orville looked off. then i noticed that he looked really off and in a real creepy way.

looks like instead of new movies with old dead stars, we're going to get new commercials with old dead spokespeople.
