most of the stuff i've skipped over.
bottom line, to me anyway, is that
if MSP is using these kind of tactics in the filming industry (and i think i'll believe Levin over anyone else unless it's Winters himself, but after getting the gist of the L1P message, i don't think i'd believe him anyway) they're definately hurting an industry that they helped create. it's just stupid - why try to bump out smaller guys that are just trying to put out a good flick that they've probably poured their heart and fucking soul into to make? it'd be like O'Connell sabotaging all of Abbott's camera gear - it only pisses the other guy off and it's just no good for the industry as a whole since we're all here for the same thing, albeit some of us prefer one thing over another (jib vs. big mountain). sure it's a business, but MSP should realize that we're all in it for the same thing.
personally i've never really enjoyed MSPs movies anyway. i own SM2 and 3, but only because they were on sale. that and halfway through they pretty much put me to sleep.
