Nice reading! I didn't notice (until now) that William Fichtner played all these roles - just great.
About computers in movies I'd have to say that even though I'm a computer geek, I think it's best to use them in movies only when absolutely necessary because you can always recognize the computer-generated stuff - it just doesn't feel real somehow. And even though rendering quality got a lot better over the last decade, I don't think computers will be able to replace scenes shot in the real world in the near future. That being said, where's that beer and popcorn...
