I doubt that 3D anbimation will ever completely eradicate real people in porn or mainstream media.

I read a piece awhile ago about why "The Polar Express" hadn't been more successful, and it relates to the fact that the animation may be the most "realistic" to date, it stil isn't "real," and our brains distance us from such images. I haven't seen "The Polar Express," but I saw enough commercials, and I have to say, the characters may LOOK realistic, but there is something about them that just isn't right, and bothers me. Seeing those empty eyes, and vacant expressions... it's just disturbing.

Why Gollum was so readily loved and accepted isn't explained, but I think it's b/c Gollum is a character that really cannot exist outside of a computer. Watching a digital representation of Tom Hanks just isn't the same as watching him actually perform a role in person.

I doubt CG porn will overtake real-people porn. Part of the thrill is knowing that what you're watching HAPPENED. That girl took two dicks in her ass. She sucked them clean, and them the guys plastered her eyes shut when they came on her face. That's part of the thrill. I think people would distrust digital porn.

Just my thoughts...
