I was talking about the PRODUCERS. In this case, Bay. We know how addicted he is to CGI and such. I don't know how he feels about makeup and prosthetics, but seeing his past movies, I think it's obvious which he prefers.

No, you were very clear. I just don't feel bad for any of 'em on either side. They all get paid tons of money to do stuff everyone wishes they could do. And all producers really do is gamble other peoples' money while forcing their own arbitrary ideas into the final product. So it's actually hard work once in a while. Ah well. Whatever makes the best possible movie in the end, I say.
