So I'd like to throw out a topic:
Should we support films/entertainment that could help API s (at least in breaking barriers for careers) even when the produce work that isn't very good? Case in point _Annapolis_ (unseen by me, as much as everyone has bashed this film, I don't need to go any further about this movie.) But here's an interesting case study: Aeon Flux. That was directed by Karyn Kusama, graduate of NYU film school; she discovered Michelle Rodriguez in _Girl Fight_.
As we might or might not know, not only is it hard for a API to become a feature film director, but it's hard for a woman to become a director. There's not that many around! As far as Aeon Flux goes--I haven't seen it yet--but let's assume that it's a bad movie...should we go see it to support Ms. Kusama? And to fan the flames even more, it must have been super risky for MTV films to take their chance on Kusama on a potential franchise when she did only independent work.
I have my own opinion why I didn't see the movie, but I'd like to hear other opinions first.
