[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 682838, member: 55446"] American propaganda? :huh: Can you actually flesh this out with a bit of evidence? One of the main differences between independent and mainstream cinema is that whereas people notice the good and bad of the mainstream, only the good independent movies get noticed. Mainstream movies have these enormous marketing budgets. If the movie turns out to be ****, they have nowhere to hide because they've promoted it so heavily. With independent cinema, the only movies that get noticed are the ones that are hyped through critical consensus. Nobody hears about movies like Vampires vs. Zombies. Or Hell Comes to Frogtown (have to say, this was a film so bad that it was good). The best of independent cinema is fantastic, some of my favourite films are independent productions, but indies aren't automatically better than mainstream cinema. Most independent cinema sucks.
