Hamburger!

I hope I'm getting two things in the mail today. Three, technically, but two shipments.

Watched this last night. Really great. It was three hour-long documentaries with directors and actors of the '70s. I gained a lot more respect for the directors and actors of the time. They were all just kids who wanted to make movies. They didn't look glamorous or Hollywood, they looked just like your neighbors or friends.

The way that they went about borrowing film, actors, getting petty cash to make films with their friends and it ended up becoming hits. I didn't know that Jack Nicholson was originally a writer. Anyway, it showed how the studios were at the time and how it came to what it is now. It used to be not a money machine, but after guys like Dennis Hopper, Jack Nicholson, Francis Ford Coppola made movies that people went to see again and again.

Then movies like Jaws made sequels popular and Star Wars made merchandising popular. Then Hollywood became a cash whore and everything went to money. I wish that I lived at this time, when movies were exciting and all about new movies and effects and stuff. Now nothing much amazes me. I like movies now, but it would be different like seeing all that Hollywood garbage and then you get things like Scorsese, Coppola, & all those guys at that time. It's funny that era the movies went to the underground. That's just like music in the 90's.
