i said it a million times before .. the target audience - the people who actually go to films .. are kids.
appreciate the fact that when someone does make an r rated gorefest - they are not going to make much money.
not too many people can affoard to run a business where they lose money.
it's not about caring - its about business sense.
i dont have to like it - but it's reality.
to put it in perspective :
lets say you opened a video store. you only wanted to stock the stuff you like.
and then you realize that 99% of your customers (the population within range of your store) dont share your tastes.
Do you say fuck it and go out of business - because you care so much about the 1% who dig your stuff ? How does that help them ? ... because now they dont have anything at all to rent.
if you stay in business - catering to both the 1% and the 99% you'll stay in business and the 1% will have something to rent.
and maybe ... just maybe .. the popular culture will change down the road some day.
its better than nothing.
