Primer: one of the best films I’ve seen in the last few years (budget: $7,000).

Spiderman 3: one of the worst films I’ve seen in the last few years (budget: $258,000,000).

Now, the fact that Spiderman could cost $258,000,000 and still be pretty awful is to be expected with Hollywood these days. But it seems a shame that 37,000 films of Primer’s budget could be made with that wasted money.

Even if only 1% of 1% of the films made were as good as Primer that would still be about 4 good films, which is 4 more than were made with Spiderman 3′s budget.

That’s blockbusters for you.
