2023 breh. You don't need financiers. There's this thing called crowd sourcing. You need little to know experience. A someone like John majors has tons. He could get people to work for free just so they can say they worked with him or on a project. And if you think movies take millions of dollars to make you've been watching too many big budget films. Too many good movies to list that didn't cost millions.

Kanye is one nutty ass Ngga but he dropped a ton of gems in that Sway interview. In this instance one quote comes to mind: ’ it ain’t Ralph tho’

Have you ever seen a Sway beanie?! Like yea Jonathan majors can make his own movies. ANYBODY can make their own movies. But to what scale. That’s the key word, scale. He doesn’t have the infrastructure to scale it to where it makes him hundreds of millions.

Neither does Dame. Dame advocates owning shyt just to own it, just to be a ‘boss’. He’s too stubborn to work with and partner. Kanye made a billion dollars in 5 years—-Dame would say he lost bc he didn’t ‘own’ it….

In Dame dash’ mind starting your own Tubi empire is better than being the face of marvel...bc you a boss. And for reference, Robert Downey Jr has made 400 million from Marvel over the last 15 years

Meanwhile Ezra Miller and James Gunn getting praise from left to right :wow:
Alex Baldwin free smoked somebody:wow:
Mel Gibson went on an all out rant:wow:
A simple allegation as a black man:wow:
Ain’t no such thing as innocence
You just guilty for the rest of your life :wow:
and black people, including most of this forum’s community, will continue spending money to consume the output of the industry that perpetuates that double standard.

Mel Gibson has been in unpromoted Tubi movies for over a decade now…

Google James Franco and the first thing you see is ‘Will we ever see James Franco againand should we’

The 2nd thing is this article from 3 days ago


This ain’t the case to pull the ‘they attacking a black man’ card. This is about metoo and cancel culture and it does not discriminate

Yup. Dame's advice would have sounded crazy 20 even 10 years ago but this is the era of crowdfunding and independant creators. There are multi-million dollar crowdfunding campaigns out here. Keanu Reeves raised 1.4 million for a comic book:. Like you said Jonathan Majors with his brand and his connections could easily raise a few mil for and independant movie. Get Out only cost 4 mill to make and made over 250 mill. The only thing is a lot of actors's egos couldn't handle the fact that they went from Hollywood blockbusters to Independent films.

Yeah movies don't work like that. Movies aren't like clothes.

:mjtf:

What you even talkin about. ‘Just make your own movies’ is dismissive and tone deaf as hell

That would perhaps apply to a Nate Parker but this is a totally different situation. Going from Marvel to indie would be like….going from being aligned with jay z to having DD172/Keds/Too Honorable :gucci:

No, it's not. And most actors at some point write or direct their own movies. This idea that you can only do one thing and you have to have the machine behind you is archaic and retarded. Its ok to doubt people. If you would've told me Tyler Perry would have his own studio, Ida doubted you. If you told me 50 cent would go on to make a bunch of successful tv shows, Ida laughed. If you told me Michael b Jordan would be directing creed 3 and more....Ida laughed.

The better advice he needed at the start of his career was to stay away from white women.
Ask Oj how it normally ends with them.

You still need distribution. Who's distributing Jonathan Majors right now? No majors, no pun, are picking up his projects. And no one buys dvds or blu-ray anymore.

In theory, Dame is not wrong. But everything is circumstantial. And Dame is the epitome of placing a square peg in a round hole. It's exactly why he's not relevant any longer despite being one of the more successful music executives of the last 30 years.

JM needs to lay low and wait. There's nothing he can do right now.
