Ahhh yes leave it up to James Cameron to make a billion dollars, and still be whining about something. Sci Fi Wire has it that the Academy has been criticized by James Cameron and his lackey producer for not nominating Zoe Saldana for a best actress award. My response to this is…REALLY????? As an actor I find this disturbing. James Cameron was quoted as saying "People confuse what we have done with animation...It's nothing like animation. The creator here is the actor, not the unseen hand of an animator." No I’m sorry it’s not it doesn’t matter if they were wearing the funny suits.
An actor’s performance is a real thing subject to editing only in the way that the director picks which real performance the director liked. Not the one that was run over by a computer operator. They went on to say "We made a commitment to our actors that what they would see up on the screen were their performances," Fine we saw a blue computer animated figure with the emotion that the computer animator enhanced. You can’t get the emotion that the actor is feeling with a computer. No matter what they tell you. They event went as far to say they should have called it “emotion capture”.
I think that’s what offends me the most, the idea that they think a performance is found in the facial tics and body language. What about those amazing things called eyes? A good actor shows it in their movements. A great actor shows that they really believe it in their eyes. That in my opinion can’t be replicated by a computer. The article goes on to include the input of one Mr. Actors Studio himself James Lipton. "What an actor is doing when acting is not just looking like something but expressing something going on inside," he said. "I'm not sure that motion capture, while it captures the flicker of an eyebrow, the twist of a mouth, a gesture of a hand, equally captures emotion." I agree anything that’s done with a computer has the slim chance of being improved or tampered with. Meryl Streep doesn’t get a team of computer animators, she does it live. That’s the way it’s supposed to be.

Your car might be stolen if you don't keep this in mind!
Imagine that your car was taken! When you approach the police, they inquire about a specific "VIN search"
A VIN decoder is what?
Similar to a passport, the "VIN decoder" allows you to find out the date of the car's birth and the identity of its "parent"( manufacturing plant). You can also figure out:
1.Type of engine
2.Model of a vehicle
3.The DMV's limitations
4.The number of drivers in this vehicle
You'll be able to locate the car, and keeping in mind the code ensures your safety. The code can be checked in the database online. The VIN is situated on various parts of the car to make it harder for thieves to steal, such as the first person seated on the floor, the frame (often in trucks and SUVs), the spar, and other areas.
What happens if the VIN is intentionally harmed?
There are numerous circumstances that can result in VIN damage, but failing to have one will have unpleasant repercussions because it is illegal to intentionally harm a VIN in order to avoid going to jail or the police. You could receive a fine of up to 80,000 rubles and spend two years in jail. You might be stopped on the road by a teacher.
Conclusion.
The VIN decoder may help to save your car from theft. But where can you check the car reality? This is why we exist– VIN decoders!
