How do these other indy movies get produced, surely not all funded by kickstarter. There's no investment here as a rando donating, you get some rubbish soundtrack or something. No money made back or anything.

Someone should come up with some kind of homegrown investment website where ordinary folks could fund shit like this and get some money from profits if it succeeds. I would have no qualms with that. This seems like abuse of something that was setup to help folks not already a fucking celebrity.

Problem is marketers. If something attracts money marketers come and ruin it. Look at YouTube. Now money gets your video front page instead of users defining what is popular.

I don't think 20th Century Fox's lawyers would allow it to happen without them first getting a huge payday to buy the rights. Hell, they tried to make some money off those Jane hats.

Fuck this guy, he's one of the most annoying cunts TV ever produced. Anyways, wasnt there like 20 seasons of scrubs? A mil for him should be no problem.

Nine seasons, but he was making upwards of $350,000 per episode for a bit there so yeah, he has the money.

Well, users defining what's popular means you get "Eagle takes off with baby from park" and "Lose body fat with one weird trick" videos on the front page, so marketers coming in isn't really that much of a step in any direction.

I mostly like Braff and enjoy Garden State (minus the ending; won't get into that). I'd probably donate $20-$30 bucks.

The day I freely donate money to somebody I don't know so they can make money off of my money is the day I am the biggest idiot in the world.

you forgot that the person you don't know is also already a millionaire

Shits really stupid if you stop and think about it. I'm going to give them my money to help produce a movie that I'll recieve no profit, credit, anything at all for, then have to turn around and pay for a ticket or purchase the movie once again when it's out. How fucking stupid.

See we already fund these movies by purchasing tickets/dvd/blu-ray, it's just happens after it's made and it's not a total piece of shit.

I dont know why but the fucking gall of this faggot asking for money from people who make hundreds times less than him so he can have some "creative control" really gets my fucking goat.

so you don't put your money into the bank?

Money brings shitty videos to the front page, or shitty users bring shitty videos to the frontpage? Is there some other mechanic to getting videos to the front?
