Keith, my apologies, I misunderstood this post:
And forgot about your first post. Sorry.
Also, reading your last post, I better understand (I think) the post I quoted.
People do have buttons and billions have been made by filmmakers exploiting those buttons. Porn being the most extreme example in my opinion. Billions of dollars a year in revenue for cheap poorly made garbage "movies". Some guy puts his blood and tears into a brilliant film, but it looses money while people who produce films (video) about a mom sleeping with the cable guy on Tuesday and the gas guy on Friday make bundles of cash.
I'm not complaining, btw, just making an observation. Putting aside porn, lest we get right off track, there are definitely buttons that are pushed in mainstream film. I'm not sure why people would flame you, Keith, it wouldn't bother me to read what exactly you mean.
On this board, in a thread about a movie made on Red One, I presume flame has something to do with film versus digital. :-) My mistake.
