I think kickstarter is a cool way for established and nonestablished artists to get money with no interference from traditional financiers. 1.5m isn't a huge amount of money and it's not going directly into spike lee's pockets either. plus donors get cool poo poo that you just can't get from regularly funded movies

i imagine zach braff entering a woman to be like dipping your toe into a cold pool over and over again until you finally get the nerve to really get in there

the $32million ubuntu phone kickstarter is obviously ridiculous, but i do agree with shuttlecock when he talks about the fact that there's no "f1" equivalent in the phone world. like, innovations in automotive engineering typically flow from racing to supercars and eventually down to every consumer vehicle. you can pay a massive premium to have a car that's 5 or 10 years ahead of other cars in terms of the tech it uses. whereas in phones, the "high end" is still just the top of the consumer market, i.e. the iphone 5, one, galaxy s4...etc. theoretically, you could build a phone right now with a 4k oled display and a bunch of other futuristic tech and whatever, and charge like $2000 for it and only make very limited runs. but instead we wait for innovations to become scalable and thus cheap enough for mass market consumption. like, the idiots who spend $2000000 on a veyron are still spending the same on their phone as pretty much everyone else. what i'm saying is that we need to crowsource a way to separate rich people from their money. the most ethical way to make a fortune.

1.25mil is enough to throw something together and then get bigger backers privately on the proviso that you are left in control of the artistic vision

QUIT USING POP TOP LIDS ON YOUR loving BOTTLES! idiots get a cnc mill and a copy of sketchup thinking it'll make them rich. except the only usable thing they can model and mill is a cool bottle opener and they don't want to apply themselves any further. but they've got a cnc mill so that makes them part of an elite set of hardware startups and therefore their idea can and must go on kickstarter.
