WHAT IT MEANS TO BE "INDIE"

A quote from Yahoo's movie page taken from Reuters Entertainment news feed (referring to Sex and Death 101).

"The indie film, budgeted at less than $10 million, is shooting over the next six weeks on location in Los Angeles."

When your film costs $10 million dollars and includes Winona Ryder, you are not quite fucking "indie." Jesus. You're the cinematic equivalent of Nickleback. Ninth wave grunge tagalongs using a label and a diluted sound to sell flannel shirts to the kids of Soundgarden fans. Indie. Fuck off. Please.

This is not directed at the filmmaker, just the marketing department. I loved Heathers when it came out. I'll definitely buy a ticket to see this film in the theatre, and I'll probably buy it on DVD.
