I agree with the quote.
Most film makers forget it is about the story.
But, at the extremes, some projects are quite a celebration - "Sin City" a
graphic novel translated to the screen. All about style not content.

I agree about the "plastic" feel to the recent Star Wars films -- it's
a common feel that goes with FX even today -- it's easier to blend how
you shoot to what the computers can make. It's changing but I still
don't like it.

Unfortunately film makers find FX so heady that they have forgotten
Fowler's Law: "When anything is possible, nothing is interesting."
This applies to film visuals, plot lines in films and novels,
graphics, even photography.
