Homestead is strange it seems they were launching a movie but also a tv show at the same time? a pilot but in the cinema, released simultaneously with two streaming television episodes of the same name which continue the storyline within the film, eight episodes and streams on the Angel Studios website

So it is planned as a tv series

Budget?

Regarding his favorite part of the filming experience, he stated, “I really enjoyed the camaraderie of it all. Everyone in the cast, crew, and investors were all believers.”
“While we didn’t have the biggest budget, and it was a challenging location in the Rockys, everyone was there for the right reason.”

'Homestead' if it was released in a different year it would have been ok

but looks kinda dumb and shit compared to the real life stuff happening to Hollyweird and Commiefornia

its a tv show or a movie or locked away behind a website with other content, good on Angel studios for at least trying

I imagine the indie industry is really going to struggle now, with all the USAID funding being cut.

I'm wondering when we're going to get the list of "indie" flicks with the "proper messaging" and "diverse quotas" that were filmed on taxpayer dollars.

Homestead was ok or not?
so I think the multi-citizen Canadian Citizen? US Citizen? Jew Israeli? Christian Zionist or whatever he calls himself these days was ranting and cheering 'Homestead'

I applaud its Low-Budget however the box office taking is very low

the real-life LA Fires were far more scary than some Nuke Apocalypse Hollywood Commiefornia Fantasy

...or before the California Fires I guess you could look at the Dindoo Nuffins George Floyd BLM Antifa riots or the 1992 Los Angeles riots
the USA is often ready to destroy itself, you don't need some fantasy story about alien 'Nukes'

Homestead
they were not sure to release it as a Direct Download, a DVD a box office movie or a tv show, in any other time period perhaps 'Homestead' would have done better

However the market is crashing now

It all started in 2016...

They made up the word nobody had ever used before and presented it as if it were a word that everyone used all of the time.

They told us not to use it.

We used it.

And the funniest thing is, if you look at 0:30 of the video, we used their made up word to define what they are, when the intention was obviously for us to be calling ourselves woke.

They told us "Stop bragging about being woke.", "Stop saying woke".

Not one white man in the country before this video went around bragging they were woke. I have my doubts that any had even heard the term before then.

But fast forward a few years and there were plenty of college "educated" liberal "men" who started using woke to define themselves. ... Even bragging about it.

There are plenty of indie games out there if you look. The kids can find them easy because they're all on Steam. The problem is there's a billion projects on Steam that are crap, and the way they run their toplists to advertise games to people leaves a lot to be desired. So if you're new to all of that and don't know how to see reviews of games by people who aren't bots, you're probably not going to want to put too much stock in their own review system.

As for Triple-A companies? I think they're about to finally splinter. They can't afford to take a single risk anymore because if they release one title that flops that can ruin them. Then they've got to rush the next one out, unfinished with all of its bugs, and hope it doesn't flop too or else they've just dug themselves an even deeper hole. They've also recently raised the price of new games to over $100 each, which is quickly making piracy a problem for them.

Alien the original Budget $8.4–14 million, Ridley Scott, Dan O'Bannon, later it becomes a 'franchise'
James Cameron made it bigger more action packed but would keep a lot of the scifi horror, inspiration for the dark monster bio mech shapes of alien creatures and environments were designed by the Swiss artist H. R. Giger,.

I think the movie was doomed on day one, Sigourney Weaver I didnt get it...

Joss, a lot of people complain how he screwed up Alien 'Resurrection' and maybe the critics are legit

to make the franchise work it might require a lot of retcons or just ignoring the bad movies or do more reboots

the prison planet film seems to be where a lot of Alien failed

I think 'Alan Tudyk' would have made a great quirky Robot Alien Cyborg person, Alan Tudyk has these great skills as an actor but I think he's also got that strange weird funny odd thoughtful goofy outsider stage presence, maybe its something he got from all those strange roles over the years

Alan without doubt adds something unique but maybe he's tired of being a CGI robot, Lance Henriksen, Rutger Hauer, Amy Adams, Doug Jones, Jeff Goldblum, Carrie-Anne Moss, David Bowie, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sharlto Copley, Laurence Fishburne, Anne Hathaway, Donald Sutherland, Dennis Quaid like their unique contributions to movies I think Alan also adds something special to those strange roles.

If you didn't know or had totally forgotten that Nicolas Cage put out a movie called The Surfer earlier this year, then I apologize to you for reminding you of it now.

I think I'm quickly falling out of love with the idea of Cage. That's something like three bad Cage flicks in a row now that I've watched, and I'd put this one up there somewhere VERY high on the list of worst movies I've ever seen in my life. Quite possibly, even giving it the crown.

It's nothing at all like Nobody, which is what I thought I'd be getting into with this one based on the blurb and Nic Cage.

MINOR SPOILERS: (Although, seriously, do not watch this crap)...

If you're predisposed to depression, or currently in the middle of a bout with it, everything I said goes double. You will not walk away from this movie feeling good about what you just watched no matter what mood you went into when you started it up. No light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how much you're hoping for one, and no real kick ass action that turns any of this around by the end either.

All you're getting here is a half-assed, totally-ambiguous redemption(?) arc in the 11th hour and 59th minute that leaves you not giving a single shit about what happens after they say "Fuck You" with that end title screen card when they did, and depending on how big your cynical side is, a good idea that there was ZERO redemption arc that ever took place.

Fuck all the bad guys. Fuck Cage's character along with his 4-line son's non-personality robot of a character and his exe's character who we never see on screen either, and are given no reason at all to cheer for. Outside of the very small chance that his whiny rich son who doesn't get anywhere near enough screen time to make you care enough to know more about him or to even bother remembering his name by the time it pops up in the end credits, the only (presumably) decent people in this movie come out of it worse than they went into it.

Not only that, but I called how the ending of this flick was going to play out only halfway in because the several instances of foreshadowing they put out there are so on the fucking nose that only the dumbest of people will have not figured it out at least by the end of the 2nd act. And at least no less than 6 major plot points were easy to predict long before they manifested themselves. By 1 hour in, I was laughing at every single thing that happened the rest of the movie because treating it like a comedy was the only way to make it to the end.

I think that the 80+ Critic score this one has is upper-middle class white college "educated" folk celebrating the downfall of an actual rich dude, while completely ignoring the fact that he still kind of wins in the end, even if he left part of his soul behind to do it, and that he most likely sold his own son's soul down the road long after the credits roll. Not only don't we care, but we are given absolutely no reason at all to believe that won't be exactly how this story would play out in a theoretical sequel.

Not to mention the entire waste of a life he's had to get to this terrible, terrible point, including a failed marriage which he may or may not get back now depending on how materialistic his soon-to-be Ex Wife is, and just generally regretting everything he's done and the choices he's made to get something that by the end of the movie he should have, but didn't, learn that he wants no real part of.

If you want to see what Sandra Bullock's "The Net", Kevin Kostner's "Tin Cup" and The Karate Kid would look like all mashed up in a blender, every ounce of comedy, levity and hope were completely stripped away, to be replaced with a relentless sense of somebody else being peer pressured while voluntarily burdening yourself with the terrible weight of somebody else's guilt and regrets of how they lived their own lives by sitting 5 minutes through this shit, and every character in the movie were evil, terrible and irredeemable scum from start to finish, The Surfer has you covered.

The only people who liked this movie were the ones literally jerking off when Luigi murdered that CEO in cold blood, and that CEO himself assuming he caught it in the theaters before he got done.

It's just that bad. Bad, bad, bad.

And as I said before, quite likely the worst movie that I have EVER watched in my life. That title, once only reserved for Peter Jackson's Meet the Feebles, is now something I'd have a very hard choice making after having suffered through The Surfer.

0/10. Pure trash.

Oh crap. Somehow I missed your reply here, Jaynez. Sorry about that.

Yeah. Jamin Winans.

Odd though... I was always under the impression it was a Joint venture between him and his wife. I thought they at least co-directed it if they didn't also co-write it. I don't see her credited on IMDB right now. Going to look into that a little deeper since I'm interested. I see he's had quite a few other movies that could be interesting given that Ink is probably my favorite flick.

Now don't go expecting perfection. I hate it when I over-hype something and other people are underwhelmed. It may or may not be my favorite movie now, that's such a hard thing to really say. But I will say that for at least 6 months after I first saw it I knew that it was.

Just go into it with an open mind when you see it, and be impressed by what an extremely small budget can accomplish if talented and disciplined people are in charge of the money.

Oh... Cool.

From 16 years ago on Reddit. I didn't even know Reddit was around that long.

I am Kiowa Winans, Executive Producer of the movie, "Ink," which was bit torrented by pirates and consequently became one of the top 20 most popular movies online. AMA.

So she produced it, and he wrote and directed it.

Those two links are hella-interesting.

But now that you're interested in watching the movie, I'd go into it as blind as you can and come back to the links later if you want to know more.

There is a lot of good stuff with Nick Cage his brief appearance in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Raising Arizona he's the star, Leaving Las Vegas dark bleak, Con Air strange wild its action and funny, Face Off is very good but it also starts to go to crap...Gone in 60 Seconds, The Wicker Man remake is dumb...its quantity not quality

Nicolas Cage is gone that whole hollyweird odd, weird, nutty route and I think he went on that journey long ago, I respect his early stuff but then I started getting put off by his films. Performances that burn or just rub you the wrong way, some performances were 'Just Wingin' It' to pay bills, divorce expenses, Bizarre Facts, not inept or incompetent but all his expenses, he bought a masonic Pyramid Tomb, naming kids after comicbooks, after taking mushrooms his cat was his brother, A Haunted Death Mansion...that was supposed to help him wrote books but this never happened...he just ran out of the Mansion screaming one night, expensive wine collections and crazy quirks and antics were costing 'The Art'. He seems to be paying off all these new young Korean or Japanese wives with costly divorces, even during his normal days I think he was 'out there' Brooke Shields seemed less than normal and he was known for an excessive party guy with booze and substance abuse.

He's made a lot of poor decisions, sure, but he owns up to them. He had every right at one point to file for Bankruptcy, but he never did that. He just went back to work and took literally any role he was offered to dig himself out of all that debt.

Gotta give him respect for that.

I liked Willy's Wonderland. It wouldn't even be watchable without him in it, and the fact that he doesn't say a single word in the whole movie is a good gimmick for him.

The Color Purple was Okay. I didn't realize it was an H.P. Lovecraft movie until after my dad and I started watching it and when his name popped up I had to pause the movie and apologize ahead of time that it probably wasn't going to be very good. I'd say it's better than your average Lovecraft movie, but still not very good. Another movie that would have been terrible had Cage not been in it, but the movie itself was so crazy that it overshadowed Nic's crazy acting.

I can't even remember the name of the one where he was showing up in people's dreams now. That one had so much potential, but the last 15 minutes were terrible and the ending sucked hard.

And then there's The Surfer. God awful movie that nobody should ever watch.
