In the UK, whenever a film has been banned in the past several years, I have shown interest to this film. Only due to the fact that it makes the news.
Lars Von Trier's films would not be as known, if it wasn't for the sexual content in his films, and the fact that the media seem to want to cover hugely on it. I saw Nymphomaniac at the cinema, and when the sex scenes came on, I thought as much as them as I do with simulated sex scenes. There was no real difference in the main story I felt, except it made her addiction feel more real to actually see it. But other than that, it served no real purpose. That doesn't mean however I should say Trier should stop using real sex in his films, he can do it all he likes, I have no problem with it. -

It isn't happening fast enough to make a difference in our lifetimes. Did you miss the part about how 6 companies own virtually every way you can watch a movie?
Anyone can release a movie on the internet. Anyone can send one straight to DVD. But they won't receive a fraction of the attention, marketing, buzz or whatever you want to call it in order to get eyes on the film.
It's moving faster with musicians and artists and hell yeah, cartoonists, but not movies longer than the 4 minute video plugged into your Facebook feed. Not yet.
