Movies that thrived during recessions. I’d rather see some data on which studios thrived during downturns but that may be too somber to post now.
In a humorous and possibly blasphemous ceremony. Ash Wednesday has a new ritual. I would recommend watching the commentary on army of darkness (the official bootleg edition) as it’s among the funniest I’ve ever listened to.
The horror film is a staple of low budget film making and near and dear to many of my friends. Of that genre the most popular continues to be the zombie film. In a this is why I love the internet post, someone has outlined the emergence of the zombie in popular culture.
I’ve been promising updates on 16mm lenses for some time, I’m doing some DIY and waiting on one or two more packages to arrive but I promise to have some pictures and tutorials posted soon.

Interesting about movies that thrived (throve?) during recessions. Notice that we seem to be having a recession now about every ten years, give or take, since 1973. This one is right on schedule.
