    The Creator was terrible and didn’t make any money. That’s not a good example of good movie making.
    Blumhouse is a far better example. Everything they produce doesn’t cost near $100 million and almost all not all of their films have made profit. It’s smart movie making.

      Also the Critical Drinker, I believe, works out of Scotland so doing this in person and face to face is impractical and, to be honest, the split screen, side by side Vlog style is becoming tiresome. It's refreshing to see two people talk to one another on person like this again.

    It's the ultimate paradox that the technology needed to make a movie is cheaper than ever before, with professional-grade video cameras and all the editing, audio-development, and post-processing software needed to produce a movie available on the general consumer market, and yet the biggest studios feel fine just splurging absurd quantities of money at films that could be produced for a quarter of the budgets they are throwing at them.

Is that Daily Wire going to ever do that and screw over their actors and writers? I mean, that would be stupid: imagine paying five bucks for a movie ticket for a movie that costed less than that to make. Also what are these higher ups in these companies going to use all their money for now that they use A.I instead of real human actors and writers and production team? Spend it on even more A.I generated art and music and film?

    I’ve been a fan of the drinker for a while now, mainly because he gives honest input, is honest about any biases he may have. I’ve come to trust his critiques. He recommended “Sisu”, so I checked it out and really enjoyed it. It was simply entertaining, with subdued dialogue, a great concept with good action. Think Rambo First Blood meets Commando meets the Equalizer.

    I watched, "Twelve Angry Men", again last night. I don't think it cost 200 million to produce, but I kinda liked it. "My Man Godfrey", "My Girl Friday", "To Kill a Mocking Bird", "Of Mice and Men", "The Grapes of Wrath", the 1956 "Moby Dick", the 1939 "Stagecoach", "High Noon", "The Last Picture Show", "Some Like it Hot", "The Oxbow Indecent", "Top Hat" and "It's a Wonderful Life" are examples of the kinds of movies that could still be made without spending a lot of money and still make a profit.

    Craziest thing is, you didn't even get a good look at a dinosaur until about 45 minutes in! Similar to Jaws, you built a great film on suspense and character development through a great script, not solely special effects. CGI should enhance a film if it's necessary, not prop it up like a crutch.

    Big budget means nothing without a great story. Look at some of the classics, they were great because of a compelling story, not (necessarily) because of a budget. You left the theater feeling wonderful. The only good films, as you've said, are the ones where there's a brand such as Ghostbusters, Top Gun, Mission Impossible and Indiana Jones (yes, I liked the latest Indy film). The best film of the year (IMO) was Sound of Freedom, which of course, was based on a true story so it doesn't answer the question about creativity. The irony is that today's filmmakers were brought up during the great Spielbergian era. We need another generation of George Lucas and Steven Spielbergs ASAP!
