Can you recommend interesting "unsafe" shows that, but for the money men, you think would/could be made today? Or are being made but on smaller subsidiaries?

- ctrlp 3y agothat has some cool animation and looks like stuff from when I was a kid or comic books, but what is "unsafe" about it? From the clips online it seems like just the sort of thing that can be made today without ruffling any feathers. Is there something controversial about it?
- nntwozz 3y agoNo dialogue I think.
- OO000oo 3y agoWhere to begin? The Criterion Collection pretty much exists to preserve and make such films available.
- ctrlp 3y agoThe Criterion Collection has new films? What I see on their site is only classics. Is there a list of newer movies?
- OO000oo 3y agoI didn't realize the question was about newer films. My mistake.
- not_the_fda 3y agoYes, they have new films under "premieres" and "20th century cinema".

- mcpackieh 3y agoHaven't they been botching a lot of color grading recently? I've heard they've fallen for the "it's on bluray so it needs to be tinted blue" meme.
- OO000oo 3y agoWhat? That sounds so ridiculous, but I would not be a bit surprised.
- mst 3y agoModern film colour palettes is why when I saw That Dress breaking the internet my first thought as "you're both wrong, it's teal and orange" and -lolsob-
- OfSanguineFire 3y agoTwo recent Criterion releases that have got criticized for colour grading were the Wong Kar-Wai boxset, and the Kieślowski “Three Colours” 4K re-release. But the Wong Kar-Wai colour grading was the director’s own choice and simply handed over to Criterion, while crew on the Kieślowski pictures claim that the 4K re-release colour grading is more faithful to the original celluloid than the earlier Blu-Ray release.
- detourdog 3y agoThe problem with Criterion is that they have no idea how to catalog things or like everyone else they make a Byzantine system for good engagement/enragement. I believe media should be arranged by at least the following categories. Year Studio Director Genre Country of Origin After that they can do whatever they want. I hope I"m wrong but I can't do this with iTunes, Netflix, HBO whatever, Criterion, TCM. Criterion has newer films once they are released to the home market. Also Criterion just edited "The French Connection" to make it more appropriate for viewers.
- NovaDudely 3y agoA lot of shows on Adult swim. I have seen many folks that have worked with the network basically say they have near 100% creative control. Mind you it is about 90% animated stuff. You see absolutely crazy stuff like The Eric Andre show get 6 seasons. A talk show that is basically just out to torment all their guests. 'Off the air' while only a few episode every few years, is much more of an art experimenter than anything you would consider a show, it is wonderful. Every few months there is something new and twisted that comes along, it feels like Adult swim is that TV studio that the main company complete forgot exists and that head corporate hasn't checked on since the late 90's. But the budgets also show, there are no million dollar budgets here.
- ctrlp 3y agoWhat counts as "new and twisted" these days? I guess I'm wondering what sort of thing is being held back from wide audiences because of studio money men rather than just current tastes.
- sandworm101 3y agoThe Young Pope. It is new and different. It is edgy and definitely not like other stuff these days. (The young pope, not the new pope which is the second season.) It was made in europe and couldnt be made in north america, not today. The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. It only existed because of a special relationship with the late show. Without worry about ratings, he did some great stuff that wouldnt get past the moneymen today. The older seasons of Top Gear. It was wildly popular but got its energy from an old form of "blolky" male-dominated humor that just doesnt fly these days. The Grand Tour continues but is a pale comparision of the previous energy. Note that all of these are dominated by male protagonists, a rare thing in recent years.

- sandworm101 3y agoWhat makes is more, or probably less, creepy is that he was friends with many of their parents. Hollywood is full of family structures.
