It may be true that artistic merit and commercial viability can coexist, but it's also not exactly common. Perhaps things are different in bigger cities, but it's only once or twice a year that I could hope to see something I'd like in any of the regular theatres. Do you really think so? |

I'm really stubborn and I started out with an attitude that I was going to make films the way I and those people I chose to collaborate with want to make them and I've just stuck to that. I'm not seduced by money or the things that Hollywood tries to offer you, and in exchange you have to make the film the way some businessmen tell you to. I just would not be good at that. So I have a system where I try to avoid having American money in my films, because with that comes a lot of strings attached and script meetings and casting consultations. I can't work that way. I don't tell the business people who finance the films how to run their business, so why should they tell me how to make a film?
- Jim Jarmusch If the allocation of resources were not tied to creative control in such a way that the artist might find their work adapted to meet economic objectives, there would be no need for this sort of mentality. P.S. I'm sorry for doing this in the comics thread. |

There are even reports that Warner Bros. will be releasing fewer films and focusing more on tentpoles due to the under-performance of some of their recent films. I can only imagine that independent studios must be having a harder time securing distributors (I dunno how the film industry works). Quote:
To keep it somewhat thread-related, the issue of executive creative demands is hillariously illustrated by Kevin Smith's account of when he was once hired to pen a Superman reboot. |

Yo Bonnie, you ever read Bryan Talbot's The Tale of One Bad Rat? I dunno, I think you'd dig it.
Trying to think of comics that would appear to some boarders here. Already gave b0lly! a rec. I'll recommend more people stuff when more comics come to mind. |

Just read the first two issues of No Angel from Black Mask comics. Not bad. Waiting to see where it goes.
Also really like right now The Deciples. |

Watchmen thread made me think of comics again. I miss comics. Haven't had any time to read any for a while.
Last one I really dug was Tom King and Mitch Gerads' Mister Miracle. It takes the Jack Kirby Fourth World character, but takes the complete opposite approach from Kirby's bombastic, psychedelic, and epic style. Instead, it's like this melancholic drama focusing on Scott Free and Big Barda's relationship, as well as PTSD and depression, with a distant never-ending cosmic war intruding upon their earthly domestic life. Other than that, I bought Rusty Brown, which has finally been compiled into a single volume, but haven't read it yet. I've only read excerpts here and there in the past, as well as the entirety of the "Lint" sub-story. |
