"but they do not belong on the rental shelf of Blockbuster"
I guess I better not tell you the titles of movies I have
directed or produced or written that have gotten release on DVD
and made a profit. And sit on the shelf of rental stores.
Yours is quite a cheap shot at those of us who enjoy making
movies. I respect that you want to only make movies that are up
to your quality standards. But to make a statement like that -
that movies you don't like don't even belong on the shelves of
renal stores or that my movies are a "ruse to customers" shows
disrespect for other filmmakers.
m. So yeah, the producers of those films got them to the Blockbuster shelf, but why, and how?
I wonder if you are really interested in the answer. You have condemned
the producers (like me) who make these movies and don't seem too
open minded. I know from reading your other posts that you aren't a
closed minded person and that you are passionate about making movies.
Maybe you should lighten up a little and show more respect toward
fellow filmmakers who don't feel exactly the same way you do.
There are other points of view - and they are just as valid as yours.
EDIT: After posting and rereading I think this came of harsher than I
intended. I understand that many filmmakers think that making
anything less then "quality" movies is not living up to the
potential. And I usually don't even give it a second because
I really love what I do. Even when I'm making a $20,000
horror movie with a bad script.
