I long for the days when the words “indie film” actually meant something.

Like back when Swingers came out. Nowadays "indie" studios all seem to be owned by major companies and actors do indie films for the cred they'll get from being in a small project rather than a love for the project itself. I think you could be right though. Me and my friends are all young conservative professionals, not exactly the typical indie crowd, but we are always on the lookout for smaller films rather than these bloated blockbusters.

The idea of dropping three bucks for 'Penny Dreadful' based off of a poorly-spelled summary blurb is a bit much, no?
