according to two another saucethe Independent Spirit Awards (ISA) managed to attract only 46,000 viewers.
This is a complete disaster. Roger Friedman on Showbiz 411 write“The Spirit Awards long ago lost their relevance and interest,” he said, commenting that this was “a sad sign of the decline of independent filmmaking.”
That’s because independent films aren’t even close to being “independent” anymore. Back when independent filmmaking was truly independent, we were hit with gem after gem. reservoir dog (1992),clerk (1994),sloth (1990), roger and me (1989), blood simple (1987), she should have it (1986), Evil Dead II (1987), sex and lies video tape (1989), memento (2000), happiness (1998), swinger (1996), bad lieutenant (1992), with men (1997)…I could go on and on until I scratched the record around 2005.
I’m not saying you can’t watch a decent independent film once in a while, but there was a time when the term “independent film” was synonymous with exciting, new, different, complex, thematically focused films. It meant something unique, bold, and interesting…Today, it means the opposite of “independent.” ” It is blatantly conformist, predictable, mundane, simplistic, shallow, self-righteous, and politically driven.
There was a time when the ISA felt more relevant than the Oscars because it was where all the action took place. While the Academy awards Best Picture trophies to forgettable, pretentious, and boring films like british patient (1996), Chicago (2002), Shakespeare in love (1998), and crash (2005), the ISA rewarded (and thus gave life to) the following Best Picture winners: pulp fiction (1994), Leaving Las Vegas (1995), Apostle (1997), Landscape (2004), and Brokeback Mountain (2005).
But just like mainstream Hollywood, woke Gestapo has infiltrated the indie film world, and now the movies are shit and no one cares. Well, he probably takes care of 46,000 people, and his 46,000 people are almost certainly made up of industry people.Ordinary people also watched green beret Sunday night.
In 2023, ISA was broadcast on IFC (Independent Film Channel), with only 60,000 viewers. So the show was demoted to YouTube, where anyone with an internet connection could watch it, but he was watched by only 46,000 people.
World of Reel reassures us that was not the case I miss something…
The award was gender-free. That is, there was only one award in each category. I’m still not sure what benefit this has other than just virtue signaling.
Other than that, I didn’t miss much.Apparently Zoe Lister-Jones has come out, she is I like women now (“I’m here, and I’m queer”).nick offerman condemned ‘Homophobic’ reaction to ‘The Last of Us’. Host Aidy Bryant (who?) warned Tell your audience about AI.Oh, the ceremony was fleeting. confused By pro-Palestinian protesters.
Oh boy, That’s entertainment!
And because of this stupid “gender neutral” movement, only two actors won awards instead of four.
This is why I’m spending hundreds of dollars during Criterion’s 50% off sale. “Lone Star” “Blast of Silence” “The Last Temptation of Christ” “Bring Up Baby” Mishima…All the great movies have already been made.
You know, unlike the people who are making movies today, I love movies.
So.
Instead of wasting $20 on leaving something like garbage madame web and drive away dolls, argyle, And whatever crap the Disney Grooming Syndicate has been raking up lately, I’m filling the movie arc with hard copies that the fascists can’t erase, that the thought police can’t erase…or at least the left isFirefighter” message will start circulating.
