I’ve been a wannabe filmmaker since I was a kid, but my student films in college sucked. Sigh.

I think if I were to make a movie, I think I’d to make it with old technology. Make it exactly the same way they did in the 30’s, 40’s, or 50’s. I don’t know it would be in glorious black and white or three-strip technicolor(and I don’t mean a digital re-creation, I mean the real thing). I wouldn’t want to use any newer technologies, or techniques. I would want it to be as old fashion as possible.

I too like to spend unnecessarily excessive amounts of money and do things as inconveniently as possible to get similar results.

I imagine it’d be tricky getting ahold of usuable '30s-'50s film stock, and processing equipment from those decades probably doesn’t exist anymore.

make new '30s-'50s film stock.

That’s like asking for new antiques.

make new processing equipment that is exactly the same as the old.

Ridiculous. Soon you’ll be asking for new releases on LaserDisc.

I just want a new movie made exactly the same way movies used to be made.

So entirely by white men. Gotcha.

that is not what I meant and that was totally uncalled for.

Was it?

Yes, it is not what I meant.

It is clear in this thread were talking about the technical aspects of making films, just take a look at the first post of the thread. My comment about wanting a film made exactly the same way as movies used to be made had to do with the technical aspects of making a film, not the race or gender of those making film. I thought that would be obvious.

I wasn’t saying anything about you,

sure could have fooled me.

I was saying something about Hollywood.

Your post was poorly worded if that is what you meant.

p.s. Look at the thread title and original post. I don’t think it is the proper thread for a discussion of the history and current problems of racism in Hollywood.

Jesus Christ.

I can’t post anything without you dissecting it a hundred different ways.

And you wonder why I get annoyed with you.

You said what you said in response to me, you quoted my post. How am I to take it as anything other than you saying I wanted a movie made only by white people.

I actually would have to side with warbler on this one. I know you weren’t actually attacking him but it was an odd time to bring up that issue.

Warbler.

Warb’s not wrong, though.

Cool.

Maybe I was making a joke that also was making a point

Joke only works when it’s funny, and point is only made when people get what the point is

but nah, you’re right, I was attacking Warbler and ruining the thread.

It certainly sounded that way, and it’s not exactly beneath you to do so. But if you weren’t attacking Warbler, I’m not the one to convince.

I would have to decide on the aspect ratio depending on the tone and visual scope of the film. That’s the sort of thing where I have no preference in particular.

I would want to reach every genre and style of the films I love eventually. Nothing specific that takes my interest over others.

Smart man. The thought of making a film is so daunting I admire the gumption of any of you to actually do it, whatever your background/identity.

If you want to shoot a vertical-ratio “Superman” movie, Zack Snyder (and/or Joss Whedon) beat you to it.

I admit this was my inspiration.

Also, stop harassing me about my hypothetical movie and let me do what I want.
