ALL HAIL!

Also not quite a bug...but it's weird that when I search for "Star Wars" the only thing that comes up is the Star Wars (A new hope) episode. Not any of the other ones. And similar weirdery happens throughout.

Daaaaamn, although just quickly glancing through I don't really think some of those should be included cough*cars2*cough. But a nifty resource.

And I wouldn't mind hearing some more of the linguist course stuff either.

I get that and if it were just a couple of people then fine, the issue is that no one is.

It's a few outlying people actually attempting to make actual movies while the vast majority is not, instead of the other way around. Basically no one out there is making solid indie movies or anything besides transformers, blow-em-up, fan wankery.

What I meant is that from the youtube/indie filmmakers perspective, there isn't a market for the early carpenter, super low budget genre films anymore. Because all that they see on the market, and all people talk about are the big explodey movies. BECAUSE the small narrow focus movies aren't being made so they arn't being there to be talked about. I'm sure there's some fancy word for it but it's basically the assumption that people don't want something because no one talks about it, but no one talks about it because it's not being produced. So the indie filmmaker has nothing to base their work after.

And I mean sure we can say, well just look at carpenter or X director or movie from 30 years ago. But I mean a movie that is 10 years older than i am is going to hold very little practical advice on making those kinds of movies today. (AGAIN. this is not what I actually believe, this is just what I think is running through the heads of a lot of people trying to make indie films today)

Again, I think this comes down to the fact that there are is practically nothing in way of role models for making good indie productions on shoestrings budgets in popular knowledge. You have to be willing to brute force bludgeon your way through that kind of stuff and that wall of failures is gonna stop a lot of people from even trying it. Or most people don't even realize the wall is there and just think the studio route is the ONLY way to do it. Which granted is mostly their fault for not doing the research to figure it out, but it's still a thing that exists.

I'm ina very similar position, which is why I'm trying to use the unfortunate situation I've been forced into (Going back home and living with the rents for a while) to try and get myself set up, at least a little better, financially and equipment wise to start making my own live action short films. And hopefully a couple years down the line start making longer peices.

I can understand that, and actually agree with most of it. But I still love it, and I can't really explain why. It's just stupid and silly and ridiculous fun that doesn't really care that it's stupid and silly and ridiculous and just embraces it.

But idk, I'm not sure THAT crew doing a "serious" series would work. I believe that the reason it works the way it does now is because the guys at roosterteeth are just laid back and silly and not very serious and that comes through in RvB. I think that if they tried to shoe horn themselves into doing something serious it would come off as forced and stilted. But then all the Project Freelancer stuff has been pretty awesome and more serious, so who knows.

I got nothing. Like literally. Absolutely no idea.

I enjoy The Guild although I kinda stopped watching halfway through season 4 or somewhere around there. Not because it got bad or anything, I just never really had any strong desire to keep watching. (I'm neither an MMO-er or anything even close) Though I'll probably get around to watching the rest eventually.

I haven't seen any of VGHS but I've seen enough of his youtube stuff to know what he does, and while technically pretty decent, I just don't care.

The search function on the episode list no longer works, it just doesn't do anything. Tried in chrome and firefox.

Pulp Fiction. In Order.

...

I am getting so fucking sick of that picture.
