I know that in your head, this sounds right. But take a look back at movie history, waaaaay back to when the movie industry really started to boom and expand. Are most of the movies good? Or maybe to narrow your focus, look at one particular genre, let's say sci-fi. You know, those early black and white sci-fi movies, where robots were very clearly stuntmen in cardboard boxes spray-painted silver, space ships looked like they were built out of washing machine spare parts and "monsters" were stock footage of iguanas. Quality stuff, eh?

The thing is, if nobody had shown a willingness to pay for those "scraps" and indicated a growing interest in the genre, we wouldn't have sci-fi films today. No Star Trek. No Star Wars. Because money is what talks when it comes to movie executives, not noble principles or e-mails of complaint. MONEY. It sucks and it's sad, but that is how the industry works.

That wasn't settling though. That wasn't scraps. That was the best they could do.
