Miami Connection is only funny and great because it's not trying to be funny.

Visually it looks interesting, but the writing is bad, and it's trying way too hard to be funny. Not everything can be Blood Dragon - because Blood Dragon is actually funny.

You can't make a cult movie - it all comes from how the audience reacts to it. The idea of an instant cult movie is just wrong - it never works.

Miami connection's funny and great in an unironic sense because it distills everything that was so wrong about that era into a time capsule. Frankly, we should have more foreigners direct movies about Americana, it's been a great track record so far with Birdemic, The Room, Troll 2, Miami Connection, any Godfrey Ho film etc

Just google 'camera stick' and you'll find a plethora in the market. What's different with this one is that it's got a button on the handle that instructs the camera via bluetooth, whereas the traditional ones rely on a timer function on the camera.

Although you can download an application to turn any bluetooth device like your handsfree set into a remote shutter, so again, why bother.

You could also google "tripod" to find another device that works for this purpose.

i don't disagree, i'm just saying it wouldn't have raised over $800,000 in two days if it weren't for those two magic words, "Smartphone Controlled"

According to KickTraq, it's a 60-day funding period that started on November 26th. Nearly 20x funded in 32 days is still nothing to sneeze at.
I'd be concerned that it's at the point where there are so many backers now they'll have to scale up production, which has caused a lot of projects like this to flounder.

What does half of that even mean? What does "liberty" and "freedom" mean in that context.

It's almost Freep-esque.

What does it do, how does it help you become more free? It sounds like an advert for a crazy right wing Militia run by someone who owns a hipster coffee shop.

Ever wanted a pinata in the shape of a Minecraft block? Luckily there's a kickstarter for that! And don't worry, this won't be a failure - with a funding goal of only $1, funding has already been met.

Check out his video to see him destroy an "unrefined diamond" (blue egg pinata) with a golf putter.

The concept seems like a weird cross between a teabagger Facebook alternative [which already exists and has (had?) a hilarious goon contingent running loads of gimmick accounts] and iTunes. It's like seasteading, but on the internet.

But that would be assuming that this isn't also just a huge scam, which is frankly a ludicrous idea.

When did Kickstarter make the minimum goal $1? Were they tired of missing out on that sweet indiegogo flex funding money?

They're anarcho-capitalist libertarians- you can tell from the pictures of Stefan Molyneux and Jeffrey Tucker. In these kinds of libertarian communities "liberty" is generally taken to mean "stateless laissez-faire capitalism."

Risks and challenges Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

Challenges will be everywhere but just because your surrounded by a horde of creepers set to explode does not mean you give in. You dig in and gather as many blocks as you can for the next day. When the sun finally rises you emerge from the earth and work twice as hard to fortify your structure.

Aren't projects with a $1 minimum against the ToS? If you have literally no overhead/developmental costs, it's just a storefront, which isn't allowed (as far as I know) on kickstarter.

edit: I just watched the video and it looks like a papier mache piece of crap. I wouldn't accept that for free, much less pay $15 for it.
