Yeah, but the low budget movies that have more effort going into them will be overshadowed by the high budget movies that are eye-catching and have little effort to make them enjoyable.
You know, there's a reason we have that joke going around about the $100 million movie. Why should we care about the budget of the movie when there's more going on behind the scene than worry about the price of it?
Then again, are we supposed to take you seriously?
"[I]t is clear you can make movies for $30,000 but you are not going to create a [M]atrix, or [T]op [G]un with that kind of money."
Sorry for the changes to your quote, but I want to call you out on that.
Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: Of course you can, you dim-witted, money-hogging, lying bag of feces!
I'm sure that you look at the articles that talked about where there are movie-makers out there working with new business models than what Hollywood is using, then check out the comments to each and everyone of them, those comments are saying you can make a movie with even no budget while it can be an enjoyable experience. Granted the visual qualities may be lackluster or downright stupid, but there's much more to a movie than its visuals.
You bring up the Matrix and Top Gun. Both movies are definitely worth commenting in that both of them do have something in common while vastly different at the same time. In short, they are visually entertaining with what the Matrix has in terms of setting, action and VFX, while Top Gun has plenty of aerial shots of the plane (and that famed volleyball scene), but those two movies are greatly different in their visuals. The same also goes for their story in that they don't have
Now with a budget of $30,000, you really can't do much with it in terms of an eye-catching movie, but for a storytelling movie, you can get away with that with no budget at all! In fact, I'm considering working on two fan-movies based on two different video games series. I know I'll need a small budget for it, maybe something like the $30,000 or maybe $50,000 (I'll probably need that one of my movies), considering that I'll be traveling a lot for it and I'll be working with a lot of different people from across the world working on these projects.
But the thing is that the true heart of it goes to what the movie is about, and that is what is written in the script! To be precise, it is the story, not the whole movie itself, that is worth more than what goes into the visuals, soundtrack and everything else! You can't put a price on a story. If someone has the time and effort to put their words down on paper and type up their take on the Matrix or Top Gun and then turn that into a movie with a small budget, then it can be done!
The budget of a movie shouldn't determined the quality of that movie! It is the effort that went into it, the story that is written for it, and everything else that made it up! If you're worried about the money, then please take your complaint somewhere else. None of us gives a crap about your whining about movie budgets when we're trying to come up with better ideas on how to work with shoestring budgets.
Re: Re: Re: Re: How copyright maximalism leads to totalitarian regimes
I thought people steal cars because they look pretty... and when do people steal houses? That's kinda hard to pull off... and a little hard not to notice. (I know that's not what you're applying there)
And really? Are you saying that people steal because they know the law is protecting the owner? There's a reason why people are saying that copyright is a crutch... you're saying that these laws that you are saying are in place are holding these people up like a crutch! That's... just... stupid!
And can you please put something to break up your sentences? It's really hard to read where the beginning of a new sentence is...
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: How copyright maximalism leads to totalitarian regimes
Uh... I got a question: Where does it say that I am "by law" to be force to follow the laws? Where is this law that says so? Which law are you talking about?
From what I'm reading, this is absolute bull-crap! I don't remember reading or seeing such a law in existence! There isn't a law that I know that tells us to follow all laws. If such a law exists, then I'm sure that law doesn't work in a country like the United States.
Oh wait, I think I know what you're talking about: COMMON SENSE!
Seriously, if there is a law stating we are forced to obey all laws, people will disobey this law. It's impossible for such a law to be active in any place unless in a control, militarized state. The US isn't like that (at least not yet), and yet it isn't common sense that is telling us "hey, maybe we should obey this law," but a law? Dude, that's completely stupid! No one, other than those who want full complete control over their people, will ever come up with an asinine, draconian law to force its citizens to obey every ill-conceived law that comes out of their government.
Even then, people do obey some laws out there because of their own viewpoints, not because the government is telling them that "Action X is wrong!" If people can make their own decisions without governmental aid telling us what and what not to do, then why do we need these laws in the first place? And then again, why do we have the government telling us what is wrong and what is right? Can't we make our own decisions?
Oh right, we need to have people like you to keep on saying these things.
Look, I'm fond of having control and rules/laws in place to keep that control, but there's got to be a time when you think "say, would this start a riot if I put this out?" While We the People have our rights to say that law is wrong, it's also the lawmakers' own actions to take into consideration that they're the ones making these laws and they should be the ones to blame.
Let's just hope you're being sarcastic. Otherwise a good portion of these people bought the game. They already bought a copy and they are free to do whatever they want with said copy of the game.
Honestly you want to be just like every other troll that comes here and blames these people for rightfully buying a copy of a game series (I'm sorry, I've never heard of Shining) for being a bunch of pirates. Yeah, this proves your point all very well! Hey, keep this up and people will flood to Sega and beg to use all the games they have to offer!
Wait, "reputable?" HA! That's a laugh! From what I can recall, he. Did. NOT. WORK! FOR! GOOGLE! Perhaps you need to go back to school and learn reading comprehension because that report didn't listed Mike as an employee to Google, no will he ever be. That paper you cite as evidence for him working for Google... LOOK AT IT AGAIN!
And what's with the quotations on "entertainment industry?" I... *growls* I can't think of anything to describe this level of stupidity. It's driving me mad trying to come up with an response to say "YOU'RE BLIND!"
And you're an idiot for trying to tell Mike to shut up on his own site. At least he has a life outside of this, even I do! I don't sit in front of a computer hitting the refresh button and trying to make a grown man look bad because his viewpoints don't match up to yours. As I told Blue a couple times already: GET. A. LIFE!!
He kinda does, but not in the way we see it: sitting in front of his computer, hitting that refresh button for a new article to appear, clicking on the comment button and typing in his way of saying "FIRST!" But then there's the time he does sit through and read it, only to take
So while he does have a "life," he really doesn't have a real life. I tried telling him to get one, but I guess he's too busy sitting in front of his computer. Either that or he's glued to his seat and can't get out of it and the chair's bolted to the floor.
Hang on, is that "opinion" bolded? I can't tell... either way, you're taking opinions over facts? Well... that certainly tells a lot about your character!
And tell you what, if you can't provide anything to back up your claim that Mike is lying, I'm going to repeat asking you the same thing about it!
OK, if you see it as a lie, do you have something to back it up?
... And I'm not getting into a discussion about what I do about the stuff that I get. If you want to paint me as a freeloading pirate that can't afford the stuff I can get for free online, go right ahead! If you want to believe that I'm some junkie that downloads items left to right without handing over my hard-earned money to every creator out there, go right ahead! If you want to believe that all of Mike's articles is douchebaggery, go right ahead!
I know I can't defend everyone because I don't have the knowledge needed to really defend these people. At least I'm free to admit that I'm not suited to do that. But I do like to speak my mind and say what I believe needs to be said because I got my own opinion and I want to say it!
If you don't like what I say, then fine! I don't have to respond to your comments as well. Nobody is going to stop us.
I know that, Mike. I've known about that ever since you first posted about it. ... Wait, if I know that, why did I say that? Hold on, I was going for sarcasm towards the last end of that... yeah I could've done a better job on that.
But yes I know that you don't work for Google. I'm just saying to the AC that I don't care that his statement is the truth. It's false all the way. I do like to apologize for me saying that you work for them (at least I am honest about what I say).
And thanks for the info! I'm not exactly interested in that kind of stuff at the moment, but it's neat to know something so that if something does come up, at least I know where to look. Again, thanks!
And a personal note, my name's Cory, no "E," but I'll let it slide!
