@chezchange @LukeBarnett And 2. If you’re the director, turning 20 random freelancers you just met into shareholders in your film’s creative vision sounds like a recipe for disaster

I suspect most directors would prefer a crew who are just there to do a job vs a crew with this level of vested interest

[slantface @slantface]

@chezchange @LukeBarnett Also just wanna say I do think employees owning part of the companies they work for is a good thing

And maybe it would work for indie film, but 1. I think producers would abuse it

I think they would dangle the 0.00001% chance of massive profits to get crew rates even lower

[slantface @slantface]

@clear_mp4 @DivineMelaninX @Brizksie That’s like saying Backrooms is a pirate murder fantasy. Just because something bad happens in a movie does not make it a fantasy of that thing. Shocking this has to be spelled out

It says more about you that this is how you interpreted it than it does about the filmmakers

[slantface @slantface]

@themothmad @StephyBx_ More people making more movies would raise the tide for everyone

If you have an ultra low budget you pay ultra low wages because the alternative is not making the movie. Not making the movie = less films, which = longer slow seasons, which = lower wages

It’s a vicious cycle

@Madmaddingcrowd You’re so right dude. My racist rightwing aunt loves gifs from The Office, when will Greg Daniels and Mindy Kaling answer for this

[slantface @slantface]

@chezchange @LukeBarnett Anyone making a movie on a $750k budget is not paying indie rates by choice. And if you think they are, you’re highly uninformed

Ultra low budget filmmakers pay their crews what they can afford, and that fact is not going to change in either direction because of her post

@smokeybaron @collnsmith @Y2K_mindset ……..bro do you not know what a hipster is

Or you’re trolling? Which is it

[slantface @slantface]

@smokeybaron @collnsmith @Y2K_mindset “People” ≠ hipsters

Almost by definition. If you can broadly say “people loved it” about something there’s a good chance hipsters did not

Early days sure. But by the time “Home” popped up in every ad from Olive Garden to IKEA to the NFL their hipster cred was long deceased

@TheHorrorThonk @afewsmalbeers You got them flipped, you’re thinking of the second cashier

[slantface @slantface]

@duskedb4 @R4WMlLK @jayteehehe @janglits @Marvel Go easy on him, you can tell @R4WMlLK thought he was smart here despite being completely wrong. He probably gets owned this badly every day, would definitely explain the seething rage in all his comments

I kinda feel for the guy honestly, he’s probably doing his best

[slantface @slantface]

@thbq55 @ulrikaskriver @BoneJail @tjsingletonjr Can’t come up with a single example so decided to critique my….. cadence? Sure man

Btw you’re the one brushing past the point being made

OP literally said he can believe a 20 year old directing this movie, it’s the other aspect that feels weird

Scroll up and read it again

@TravisMc51701 @natsmocha Pay how

@Stuygrad2016 @1stChurchofGoff @RichardHanania If you’re gonna talk shit about Senator @JohnFetterman like that you should at least be man enough to stay it to his face

[slantface @slantface]

@thbq55 @ulrikaskriver @BoneJail @tjsingletonjr Oh it doesn’t have to be quick, you can absolutely take your time. If your list comes up empty then I guess @BoneJail was right and this is in fact an unusual thing wow

[slantface @slantface]

@gripe1918 Or: a 20 year old made a movie with script that didnt touch on racial themes in any way, then cast the best actors he could find who were willing to do it for the $ he had. Not saying casting can’t be accidentally racist or introduce intended themes. But here, you’re reaching

@FrxgHat @postsenjoyer @timerube My favorite type of x guy is the dude who doesn’t remember/understand a famous movie then overconfidently misremembers it in a way that makes him look really dense then condescendingly types “hope this helps”

Never fails to get a laugh

[slantface @slantface]

@BruvRoy21806 @ulrikaskriver @BoneJail @tjsingletonjr Again, feel free to prove it’s not unusual by citing another filmmaker who wasn’t alive in the 90s who has made a film set in the 90’s. Just list the names

And don’t say Martin Scorsese again or I’m gonna start getting really worried about you

[slantface @slantface]

@BruvRoy21806 @ulrikaskriver @BoneJail @tjsingletonjr You’re right, you’re not acting like a geek you’re acting like a doofus. Interpreting this as some wide-ranging observation about the history of cinema when all the guy literally said was “it felt weird”. It factually is weird, as in unusual

[slantface @slantface]

@BruvRoy21806 @ulrikaskriver @BoneJail @tjsingletonjr Anything that happens for the first time is inherently going to feel strange to someone. Pointing out that a guy born 63 years before the guy we’re talking about has also made movies in past eras does not invalidate the initial feelings of dissonance, unfounded though they may be

[slantface @slantface]

@BruvRoy21806 @ulrikaskriver @BoneJail @tjsingletonjr This is about the dissonant feeling seeing a director born in the 2000s make a movie about the 90s. In 10 years someone 10 years younger will experience the dissonance of a director born in the 2010s making a movie about the 2000s. Inevitable, but will still feel odd to someone
