Ja, but it is an understatement.  People have been making movies at home since digital video cameras have been around.  Not that I ever… em… you know… like…. ever…  view those kinds of…  well almost never.  Sorta.  But those digital cameras killed the porno movie industry dead.

 

Jason the reason I am excited by your video is that real people with real thoughts (such as you) can now express yourself in a compelling way.  The Hollywood culture was so alienated from my taste, I very seldom found one of their products the least bit palatable. 

 

Yes they seem so bland and generic now. Given costs, they aren't taking as many big risks on truly new concepts or stories.

 

There was a chess documentary made recently, Grandmasters.  Perhaps you heard of it.  Only one theater in the area showed it.  They advertised five showings.  I went over.  They had canceled it because the previous showings sold almost no tickets.  I still haven’t seen Grandmasters.

 

That's too bad. I see it is streaming on Amazon, I will check this out!

 

 

 

 

I did see one I liked recently however: Their Finest Hour, which was made in 2017.

 

 

I'll check this out too, I appreciate the recommendation!
