  • Ok well Hundreds of Beavers was $150,000 budget and came out in 2022. A different man I have been told is great.

    It’s just needlessly down bashing based on the fact that you aren’t participating with the smaller budget movies.

    Yes it’s better when it’s economically equal to jump in and let more people tell stories but people will keep making them anyways and I think it’s best to recognize them doing it. It’s always expensive to make a movie and always has been or we lower our standards to not require anything more than what is possible.

    It feels like you are complaining you don’t have the indie scene you want yet but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. I’ve been enjoying low budget indie movies for years with spaghetti man and Velocipastor.






  • Well it does work until it doesn’t and the high imperialists get out of it can be quite high. A chunk of the oligarchic boomers feel like they have have everything they ever could have wanted even if their younger counterparts are starting to get greedy for more like addicts they are. And now we have fights between the rulers that want it to stay exactly as is and those that want more battling it out while we get nothing for those of us below that want better.

    Lessons are learned and forgotten constantly in this world. The next empire along will also justify its existing as a good until it no longer can.

    Let’s see what happens when Carthage falls and weapons are handed out asking the meek to pick sides to groups promising to own them better. I doubt that it will be a lesson we learn and pushed off to be learned again later.


  • Likely you are understating how often that occurs as much as the person is overstating how much that occurs. You don’t interact with those people and they, trying to argue against, constantly interact with them.

    I’ve seen people absolutely take the side of “Israel must be protected, there is no other answer” and plenty of it on Lemmy and it comes from its users.

    Don’t diminish other people’s experience when they share it, people are often honest about their perspective even if it might be wrong. Ignoring it does no help for either of you.



  • Wow let me correct you.

    Nah people are making plenty of movies without any need of permission to do so.

    Give a quick scroll through Amazons movie library or even Netflix or Tubi sometime and see all the stuff that is new but never was talked about. Within the last few years I have even watched probably half a dozen movies in actual theaters made by production companies that have a fraction of the power as Disney and I even enjoyed a bunch of them.
