[edit] Special effects
I had the sentence:
- The film is more notable not for what it contains, but for what it contains because of when it was made, when special effects were still largely unheard of in Hollywood.
in the article. Twice, however, El Picante changed it to:
- The film is notable for it's special effects.
I think my version is better, because it explains why it was notable for its effects and El Picante's version just says that it had special effects, without saying why they were notable. I vote to change it back to my original version (or something similar). Any objections? Why? — Frecklefoot | Talk 18:32, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
- Your version is incorrect in saying that "special effects were still largely unheard of in Hollywood." They are at least as old as photography itself, if you choose to exclude theater effects from the discussion. Also, consider the fact that the film was nominated for an Academy Award for Visual Effects, an award which has been around since 1939, which makes special effects a fairly well-established institution by that time. I think the short version makes the point clearly enough, since the next sentence goes on to explain the award nominations. intooblv 20:08, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
