We are watching Utopia right now. It’s a pisser and a more intelligent show than most of the crap we get from US or UK.

Furie? Although technically, she isn't exactly a zero at the start of the film.

For me this is just awsome news. I kind of feel these big corporations just take huge amounts of our cash and don't pay tax. It's a great way to get around these sneaky accountants and make sure they give back to the community that is supporting them.

Reply to Is there a reason why no director redo a movie (based on a book) that have already failed in box office ? by Otherwise-Revenue-44
>It happened for other movies like "The lord of the ring",
The Bakshi film didn't fail at the box office: its budget figures range from $6 million to $12 (the latter is, I believe, hyperbole on the part of the director: the movie doesn't look anywhere near a $12 million movie) and it made $30.5 milion in the US alone. There were facts eating away at the profit margins for the studio, but on the whole it seems it made a decent (if a little underwhelming) profit.

> Let's take the movies "The golden compass" (The golden compass) or "John Carter" (A Princess of Mars) for exemple. Would that be possible for a director that loved one of these books to make a new movie about it ?
Sure, go buy the rights.
> Or will it be harder for him to obtain funding from productors since the disney movie already failed ?
Yep
> It happened for other movies like "The lord of the ring", but could it works for a book that is less known ?
It has happened many times.

Both are excellent, King Of Comedy is more mainstream. Buffalo is more out there.

Hopefully we get something better for streaming services, reality tv ages like milk - who wants to watch an old season? Other genres will add more value to their catalogue.

Directors don't make movies; movie studios make movies.
Why don't businesses relaunch failed product lines? Because they're concerned that the reason the product failed the first time wasn't poor manufacturing, but poor concept.
This is only surprising if you look at movies as art rather than products.

Reply to I can't stand found footage style films by [deleted]
I absolutely admit that when the synopsis is some sort of found footage trope, I elect not to watch it. It feels very been there, done that, and multiple films have explored it over the years.
There are other tropes that I just cannot abide as well, like switching bodies movies or reliving the day again and again movies or Ebenezer Scrooge takeoff movies. Each has had marvelous examples of creativity for sure, but enough is enough after a certain point.

Insane movie. I watched it when it came out and scared the shit out of me. I can still see/hear the final scene of the girl giving birth in the apocalyptic aftermath.

Unfortunately, local content quotas on free to air have degenerated into a stream of cheap reality shit

Mamma Mia in Muriel's Wedding. The scene where they keep singing and smiling while they goad the other two other women into a fist fight is hilarious.

Rest in peace. Damn, this one hits the feels different, smh.
Growing up happens in the blink of an eye it feels like. I was once a teenager discovering this movie for the first time. Now I'm practically a decade older and reminiscing about it.
