Yep, I stand by that quote. It doesn't mean that these are necessarily bad films or that adults won't enjoy them, just that the studios are making product that is designed to appeal to a younger demographic because the older demographic doesn't attend as many movies as we once did. Once upon...

Speaking for myself, you are misrepresenting what has been said. There is NOTHING WRONG with juvenile humor! I have many juvenile-oriented comedies in my DVD collection: Animal House, Caddyshack, Ghostbusters, Gremlins, Men In Black, and All of the Monty Python films spring immediately to...

The screenwriter also happens to be the director, and an A-list name. This is not a spec script. He can write with a crayon and dot his I's with smiley-faces if he wants to.

Yes! A thousand times, yes! Make multiple submissions. If you don't, you'll spend years (literally) submitting to each festival and waiting for a response. Some of the major festivals have premiere requirements, such as Sundance and Cannes. If you truly believe you have a shot at being...

Maybe that's true of most people, but I guess I'm not most people. If something's funny I will bust out whether alone in front of the TV or in a crowded theater, even if I'm the only one laughing. :lol: And you're right, Django is the funniest QT movie since Jackie Brown (which I own and still...

Great choices, Alcove! Agree with every one! :cool: And Cracker Funk, I just looked up 21 Jump Street and learned that it was rated the #1 comedy of last year by both critics and audiences. Had no idea! Definitely gonna check that one out!

I'm going to guess, in light of some of your previous IT posts, that you're just trying to pick a fight and aren't really as dumb as this quote makes you seem. Sorry, but I have better things to do than let myself get dragged down to that level. As far as your list, I'm going to take it...

That was good! And, hey, it starred my friend Tylor who composed the music for my last feature! :D

I don't know your age/family status, but I've been making films for quite a while. Trust me, box office receipts determine content. Old people like me are basically too busy/lazy/tired/broke to go to a bunch of movies anymore, especially when we can park our asses in front of the tube. My...

Please, name me ten recent comedies for intelligent adults. I'm dying for some good ones. We only occasionally watch comedies that sound juvenile when someone recommends them repeatedly to us. Almost without fail, they turn out to be exactly what we expected. So if you have some...

I agree with some of this and disagree with some. There are some classic comedy directors from the studio era: Billy Wilder was a genius, as was Charlie Chaplin. There have been some great comedy directors since then, such as Harold Ramis and Mike Nichols. Yes, most comedies made today are...

This sounds like a rather unscrupulous company, and probably enough red flags have been raised to scare off any future IndieTalk clients. About producer's reps in general, I'll offer my own experience, for anyone interested: I'm repped by a manager in Los Angeles. He deals primarily at the...

Sounds like a projection issue. It was gorgeous.

Did the director do a treatment? I apparently missed that bit of information somewhere. That being the case, then yes, you'd be plagiarizing his work. Not a good idea.

Ha ha! Fun to see that after so long! :lol:

Actually, I was being honest. I've heard the name, but couldn't have told you if she was a musician, actor, model, reality TV personality, poptart, or some famous person's girlfriend. Probably because I stopped watching TV in 1987. I could have googled the name, but never really gave a crap...

Opening credits.

I'm guessing that's an inside joke, but I don't know who Katy Perry is.

My wife once heard an interview with a veteran sound engineer who commented that the only vocalist he'd ever worked with whose pitch required no adjustment was Steve Perry.

This is kind of a vague question. There are a number of contributors here who earn their living in the motion picture industry and related fields - such as Alcove, Zensteve, Kholi, Directorik, Sonnyboo, AudioPostExpert, just to name a few. Whether or not they meet your criteria for "success"...
