PACIFIC RIM-UPRISING(2018), the sequel to 2013's "Pacific Rim", is about to release to Ultra 4k and Blu Ray. In these movies, 250 foot tall robots defend Earth from an assault of other worldly giant monsters(kaiju). -Lee "Packmule" Merritt site founder |

Apathy works out, I don't. So I'll go for the latter, but thanks for the suggestion! |

I have adopted the theory that there are plenty of directors and writers out their with imagination and originality, but the problem is that Hollywood is too afraid of losing money to use them and risk bombing. Hence all of the really neat ideas end up getting shoved into low-budget indie films and the majority of the population never sees it. |

Chris Nolan was the director. I really doubt that any studio would hesitate to grant him whatever project he wants, especially with his enormous success on the Bat films. Edited by NWV, Sep 6 2011, 07:08 AM.

Well yeah, this is how the entertainment industry as a whole works - not just the film industry. Remember, at the end of the day it's about creating, packaging and marketing a product and therefore making sales with said project. The art of creating something unique is dying, although still relatively present - the reality is something simple and entertaining will sell better than something that goes on a limb and tries something innovative and mold-breaking, so it's not worth taking the risk when there's less of an opportunity for financial success. It sucks, but that's how the entertainment/art business works nonetheless. There are of course exceptions, but they're few and far between. I don't think it matters much, though - it's still quite possible to make a good quality film independently or with a smaller company. The issue is more so getting it out to the people who will appreciate it, which means we - as the people who will appreciate it - simply need to make more of an effort looking for said films, because they are out there. Face it, people who want unique and ground-breaking are the minority. Movies are nothing more but an entertaining way to kill time to most people, so more often than not simplicity pays. That's my two cents on it, anyway. |

What about novels? The only medium where the writer has unlimited freedom to make their vision come to fruition? |

Interesting point, though novels aren't as dominated by sales and majority rules as other art forms. Arguably, neither is art itself - it really just seems to extend out towards movies and music more than anything. So I guess I broadened things far more than they really are in my description, since it doesn't apply to every or even most art-forms - but some of the most widespread ones for sure. |

I think you'll find Pinkie Pie is quite an experienced and diverse musician, capable of playing most - if not all - instruments! Picture related. Unfortunately, they are not pink though ![]() Uploaded with ImageShack.us |
