Why are the good-old-days always behind us? Sure, your TV is 20lb lighter than it was 10 years ago, but you've put on 20lb of weight in the meantime; your old Nokia cellphone was so durable it damaged the floor when you dropped it, but your new iPhone costs as much as a fresh organ on the black-market, and shatters into pieces at the slightest touch.

This open-list has some of our favorite then-and-now comparisons. Can you think of any funny juxtapositions? Vote on your favorite below, or post your own!

    Greenscreen will never beat having real scale models. LoL Big boys and their toys. :)

    Don't get me wrong, I LOVE star wars ep 4-6... But working w/ CGI has helped George share with us his dreams and imagination far more than he could w/ scale models and his analog babies... So I think this one has made Star Wars turn for the better.

    that's ironic since eps 1-3 were really bad stories. eps 4-6 were cases of how limitations can spark one's imagination as a film maker and as audience

    CGI is way more convincing than anything you could achieve with a load of plastic toys. But seeing the lame comments here, it's obvious little boys prefer their little toys.

    I don't think it's a change for the worse...CGI looks better than a "coffeemachine on a fishingline".

    Depends. For example Christopher Nolan barely uses CGI and his movies look incredible.

    Chantal. Relax. I've lived in California my whole life and we're fine. We can take showers, drink from the faucet, go to the beach. Droughts in the US are much different from other nations. It just means we get yelled at a lot here. It's just a joke. Lighten up a little...
