Here’s what the Iraq War Crime was really all about…
Rumaila is simply huge; by some measures it is the third largest reserve of crude oil on the planet, and is currently extracting 100 million dollars worth of oil every day
To recap:
There were no “Weapons of Mass Destrucion.”
There were no “Saddam ties to Al Qaeda.”
Those were lies.
There was plenty of valuable oil.
That’s the truth.
The actual film looks like inconsequential fluff. Learn the distribution lessons.
Hollywood (Warners, Paramount, 20th, Universal, Sony, Disney, etc.) have a simple saying that you, the independent filmmaker(s), have never heard… but they say it all the time & it is the truth.
So what is the saying? I hope you’re an adult, mature and ready for honesty.
Okay, you are!
The saying is… “Producers get F*cked. Distributors do the F*cking”. That is not all of the saying.
Here comes the second part… “What do you want to be, the F*cker or the F**ckee?”
(Harvey Weinstein is a great Producer for he controls content)
The key to success in Hollywood and with movies in general is to control content and be the person/company that (A) collects the money, (B) creates the accounting statement and (C) distributes (if any, Yuk-Yuk) the money.
The Movie Studios control content. They collect the monies; they make the accounting statements; and they decide if they are going to distribute any.
The movie studios control content… Thus, they have power.
Now for you, a filmmaker, to have power, you must be able to not only make a film but also control it.
The answer to “What do you want to be a…f*cker or f*ckee” is obviously you desire to be the one(f*cker) that is in control.
Monsanto knob, Robert T Fraley, Tweets:
“Why do people doubt science?”
And here’s the long answer…
“The main reason some multinationals prefer GM technologies over the many alternatives is that GM offers more lucrative ways to control intellectual property and global supply chains. To sideline open discussion of these issues, related interests are now trying to deny the many uncertainties and suppress scientific diversity. This undermines democratic debate – and science itself.” (see here)
It’s enough to get me to go to church. You go, Pope Francis…
“We discard a whole generation to maintain an economic system that no longer endures, a system that to survive has to make war, as the big empires have always done,” he said.
