"the studios apparently wanted to emphasize profits over art."

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

That's the American Way. What place does ART have in America? It is only enjoyed by the rich elite. An award given by a mutual admiration society? Yes, it's nice to be recognized by one's peers but wouldn't a totally unbiased judging body be more appropriate.

"I take you as you are
And make of you what I will,
Skunk-bear, carcajou, bloodthirsty
non-survivor.
Lord, let me die but not die out." FOR THE LAST WOLVERINE by James Dickey
