The one thing I haven't seen ANY hype about BWP... (Score 1)

I think one thing we're all ignoring with this movie is not the $cost$, not the lack of a script, and not the !hype!...what ever happened to the very simple ability to tell a good story. Every movie these days has to have something flashy or fancy to draw audiences. For some it's the special effects, others it's the name, and others still it's the writer ("This is a WONDERFUL play adapted from Oscar Wilde" or William Shakespeare or some other dead bloke). BWP is a simple, honest, and realistic (as far as the characters and their reactions and interactions go) movie that simply tells a story like you might tell one at the campfire, and does it well.

I'd also like to add my $0.02 that this isn't an original occurance...some small time movie makers making a low budget film that makes it big (though the hype and the mainstream support is more than before). Remember "Clerks"? It was a good, hilarious, and raunchy movie...not one for everyone's tastes...that really reemphasized the importance of dialogue. Hell, the whole movie WAS dialogue. Anyway...that's all I've got to say.
