Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea? I didn't. In the United States and most western countries, Fido is a family companion and while it's not ethical to judge another culture by our standards, anyone who doesn't at least (humanely) butcher the animal first is acting without proper care. South Korea relies on western consumerism for their economy and needs to be aware that we do not accept the practice of skinning and boiling dogs alive. Originally shared by April Benney Over 6,000 restaurants in South Korea are still serving dog meat even though it is now illegal. In many Asian countries dogs are boiled alive or skinned alive when slaughtered. It's an unbelievably horrendous & torturous way to die. I know a lot of you hate seeing this kind of posts on G+, but the Asian industry slaughtering dogs & cats is how I first got involved in animal rights & it will always be my main animal welfare concern. It's intolerable what is happen...

I think that instead I will give my money to Netflix and Amazon. If anyone can unseat lazy formulaic film making, it's them.
Eric von Foerster, the trailer's been playing on TV it seems like during each commercial break.
The article completely forgets about the third option: c) Independent studios funded by the likes of Netflix and Amazon producing quality material at a fraction of the cost of major production powerhouses. Granted, this wasn't an option a decade ago, but now broadband Internet has given online-only distributors an opportunity to unseat entrenched film business model.
Bottom line - if Hollywood doesn't want to take risks, they won't benefit from rewards. Someone else will though, and they are the ones worth supporting with our money.
Marvel's Daredevil Netflix show looks promising, but that series has Marvel/Disney money funding it, not Netflix.
The only real place I see chances being taken is on the small screen. With premium channels (HBO/Showtime/Cinemax) making original content, cable channels creating original content as well as the broadcast networks, for truly original risks, the small screen is where it's at.

And I'm perfectly fine with that. My popcorn tastes better than the stuff they sell at 10x the price at the theater anyways :p
