It would seem Stevie is mostly referring to big budget, sci-fi, special effects flicks where digital has definitly made for some exciting effects; Spiderman swinging through Manhatten, Jedi's jumping, flying, weilding light sabers, even the flying sequences from Hook with Robin Williams are a far cry from Chris Reves in Superman.
But even in these fun to watch, slick as buttered popcorn flicks, the digital applies mostly to the great action special effects that only last a few seconds to minutes. However, filming and entire big buget flick in digital will happen.
As for us minority maniacs running around with antiquated cameras may go the way of the Box Brownie. But when film became ubiquitous, some thought paints and canvas would vanish. Even if Kodak discontinuous film, there will be other companies like Ilford, Berger, Agfa, or not yet formed to carry the ball.
