Lmao, yeah we should be making movies that are enjoyed by the few, and ignored by the masses.

How do those make money? Like, we’re probably not gonna see another Captain Marvel movie because of the last one’s performance. Yet, we should make more movies that won’t make money because…?
But yeah, I don’t disagree, I just think it’s funny when these old venerated actors bring this topic up of how the film industry is going the wrong way; go become an executive then! The studios have to put out like 10 profitable movies to pay for one art-house film that will barely make their budget back, if at all.

Yes, because not all movies need to have a huge bloated budget. Think of it as if the game industry only made AAA games, that would be horrible

I hear you, and that’s fair, but I don’t think that’s a fair comparison. It’s much easier to make a great indie game, but much harder to make a great indie movie. You gotta deal with sets, locations, costumes, cameras, lights, etc., with a movie. For a game, you basically just need one computer.

I disagree, I think it’s much easier to make an indie movie than an indie game, you can film it on a phone and have one set and only have a few actors and still make a good movie in months. Indie games take years to make, specially for one developer

Yeah I take back what I said, I remember hearing that Everything Everywhere All At Once was really cheap to make.
