***Mass market success does not connote failure.I never stated that in the general sense. But we were talking about a particular guy, and I would suspect he sees himself as an artist, not just a man selling tickets in the booth.
Success or failre - that depends on your aspirations. If his was to be the best and most efficient producer of substandard films with huge financial reward - then he is successful, and I have no problem with that. But from what I know he DOES see himself as an artist.
BTW - what you are calling "niche market" used to be mainstream films, just perhaps forty years ago. And forty years ago Dumb and Dumber would not collect a thousand bucks.
How did we manage to change that much?
