1. Something to think about: ‘District 9’ vs. ‘GI.Joe The Rise of Cobra’- Operating budget

    danhacker:

    ‘GI.Joe: The Rise of Cobra’ was made on a budget of 175 Million dollars, meanwhile ‘District 9’ was made on a 30 Million dollar budget. ‘District 9’ was a superior film across the board on every single level of filmmaking. Throwing exorbitant amounts of cash at something doesn’t mean the end product will be a better one. Hollywood still has yet to figure this out.
