    No, I suppose we could suffer through, "Dr. Who", "Fawlty Towers", and whatever other tedium the BBC disposes itself to inflict on us.

    You don't actually need an "overpaid Hollywood Star", to make a hit movie, to that I agree.

    However, you do need a monster budget, to create the type of movie that most people are expecting.

    Blockbuster high budget, FX laden films, can make a relative unknown into a major star, as often as a major star bombs in that same type of vehicle.
  3. I do agree with you captain.

    Movies like avatar would probably never be made without massive investments first. But for every avatar theres a movie like 127 hours, which if it cost film 4 more than a couple of grand to make they were ripped off, And thats not a bad thing....

    One of the best movies i have seen in years imo, still trying to grow my fingernails back :)

    You tune also has a fine selection of short films with fantastic special effects and production values, Take the duo wallace and gromit as an example of the buisness model im talking about..
    ( pre were rabbitt )

    It just annoys me we have all this fantastic technology, where one copy of a movie is enough to supply the world, cut costs, cut packaging, give this movie to people who may not have seen it for any reason, And people still try to control the way we wish to use it.

    And they charge you a freaking licence fee to watch doctor who!! :)
