Making a realistic CG fire isn't hard. I can (and do) do it by myself on my home desktop. Making a realistic CG fire for a complex hollywood production is practically impossible because:
>Friedlander notes that the fire scene in No Hard Feelings was part of reshoots that took place just a month and change before the film hit theaters — giving the effects team only a couple of weeks to work.
Literally the only reason. I'll bet you anything that team didn't have a few weeks. More like hours. A set has to be built, cameras transported, crew flown in. That overhead is accounted for. CG is considered a bunch 1s and 0s we can conjure from thin air with a few clicks. Bad directors expect miracles, don't get them, then scream "CG BAD!".
Thats the good stuff! There's a lot of empowerment in nudity. Rewriting the script, moving away from it being an object of desire / reward.
I'm thinking JLaw on the beach in No Hard Feelings, or any episode of Naked Attraction. Demystifying sex opens up a fuller picture of life.
