    Very interesting, but I find it strange that youtube has many better quality productions just from peoples own homes.

    @Zetaman6666 just wait until they start up online distribution with rates of $1 pr movie (which could work for these low budget films). Then you’ll have a zerg going.

    Haha wow, my parents are African and watch these movies all the time. I honestly don’t know what they see in them. The acting is terribly melodramatic in most cases, a lot of the scenes are needlessly drawn out for no reason, and the stories and people are predictable and uninspiring. Not to mention the tacky DVD cases, and the fact that some movies even come on multiple VCDs.

    I had no idea that the industry was so big, though. Second to Hollywood? Wow, I thought Bollywood was second. Who knew?

    (Warning, this joke may have been told before. It is not strictly original and it is not meant to offend. Read at your own peril)

    I wonder if any of their movies were about a wealthy prince who needs help investing his money, so he sends out emails offering several million dollars to any American (or whereever) who can accept it… after a small fee of say, $1000. The drama is, people believe he is a scam, when he is, in fact, genuine. Payoff is he finds true love with the cop who arrests him
