yes, that kinda of piss me off as well, but from a different perspective:  if
people knew how much science, math, software and computer power goes into
producing photorealistic 3D scenes, they wouldn't ever call it "cheap".  In
fact, they'd be completely blown-out that man is being able to recreate reality
using tools he made on his own with knowledge he aquired from countless years of
observing nature... at least, that's how I feel.

but then, rendered stuff is used just to show exploding spaceships or cheap
furry animals animations that it gets no respect.  I'll tell you when it gets
respect:  when John Wayne or Marilyn Monroe make a comeback in pixel-perfect
glory...
