Article Comment – Two Reasons Why '28 Days Later' Could Never Be Made Today

“Boyle, Garland, and the entire cast and crew of the film show us that all you need to create a film that will live on forever in cinema is a tight script, inexpensive equipment, and a team that is willing to get the best shot every time the director yells “action.””

Oh - and $8 million (which is still a lot of money these days - I could make 2-3 films for $8 million)

Article Comment – Did “Woke Culture” Sabotage This Best Movies Ever Poll?

When I went to film school back in the early 90s, I was raring to make the same Hollywood garbage I had grown up watching. I was exposed to some good cinema by my mother, but every piece of film I had seen up till then had been made by a white male, whether they were French, Italian, or American. Of course, I hadn’t ever thought of that as a concept - and no one really talked about it in the early 90s.

In college, I had some pretty amazing professors who exposed me to the ridiculously amazing work of Maya Deren and Larisa Shepitko, for example. I also took a class on ethnographic films that melted my brain and completely changed my conception of what cinema was. By the time I graduated, I no longer wanted to make Hollywood-style narratives. I’ve since seen hundreds of films that would never be considered for S&S list, but are infinitely more profound and interesting than, say, The Godfather. I was lucky enough to see a retrospective of Soviet films made by women — I kid you not when I say that every film in the series was equally as compelling as any Scorsese film from the 70s - but you’ll never see any of them, and they won’t ever be considered for this stupid “best of” list.

I’m not denying that The Godfather and Apocalypse Now, for example, are great films - I’m just saying that they represent a myopic worldview, but it’s the only worldview for a majority of people since they don’t have access to see films made by women or marginalized people — especially since filmmaking is an expensive endeavor, and distribution is incredibly tough.

We shouldn’t be afraid or defensive that other people get to tell their stories and share their experiences. We should welcome seeing new faces, new locations, and new conflicts.

Article Comment – Best Cinema Cameras Under $10,000

How is the C70 not on this list? How is the Komodo the best overall? Why are you lying about the FX6's autofocus? I feel like an AI blogging app put this list together.
