I have only ever funded documentaries and theatre projects that I thought were interested or were former student's of mine, but I never really did it for the prize. I donated $35 because I want a digital copy of the movie, since I cannot be sure that it will be distributed where I live if made. I figure, I spect $30.00 for the DVD of the final episode of Dawson's Creek, and this can't really be worse than that!

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I bought tickets to the premiere. It's over $800K already!

That's what I donated, for the same reason.

Any bets on what time it'll hit 1 million? It's $912,503 right now.

Always Anti-fascist!
If it was Cupid with Piven and Marshall, I'd be in.(Even though Rob Thomas has had chances most kickstarterites only have in dreams) Not so much for Veronica though. That third season was SO awful.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Watching those things go is hysterical. I think it's great that people have so many more options about what to spend their money on. You can get the stuff that's really niche but cool for you.
$925k...

I've mostly pitched in on kickstarters for gaming products. Sadly, the one I was gung-ho enough about to help the author research Mongolian Religion and offer free use of one of my full-page drawings failed to fund.

I can't find the Kickstarter stats I want--I want to know more about projects after they're started. Which ones are most profitable now that they've burnt all that investment money, and are shifting into long term operational mode (for those that apply--clearly albums and movies don't).

At this point, I'm wondering which will happen first: the VM Kickstarter hits $1 million, or the new pope is announced. (I keep refreshing both the Kickstarter page and CNN.)

I can't go to Kickstarter from work, but what's the rationale for crowdsourcing the funding? It's not like Rob Thomas is some no-name person without connections in Hollywood, you know?
I mean, is crowdsourcing paying for the film, or is it paying the salaries of some producers at Warner Brothers?
