I've seen a fair bit of independent films... I have an opinion about their motivation.

- They aren't interested in commercial success. They aren't following some formula. The movies aren't generally made to be entertaining, though they occasionally are.

- They are often dark and often troubling. You and I and most everyone we know would look at a story like "Houndog" and think, "How horrible! I can't imagine anything so terrible." The film maker that made this film went the other direction. He not only imagined it, he filmed it.

- The films absolutely lack a mainstream perspective. They are all too often about things that we just don't talk about in a "polite" society.

- The films almost never have a hero. They quite often have normal people doing heroic things. Likewise, the films almost never have a monster. They have normal people doing monstrous things.

I find that independent films are typically about humanity, warts and all... not the people that we wish we were. The people that we are, the people we don't want to see when we escape to the theater.

so, the movies in question are so bad that they are better than pearl harbor?  

There were some fun scenes to watch in pearl harbor... you could admire the cgi or whatever.. the old cars (the buick was fantastic) and the period stuff...

There is nothing to admire about the two films in question.   Low expectations doesn't make em good films.    

fact is... my expectations for the films in question is that they never be made... in that respect... they failed miserably.

"Zoo"  is based on a real-life incident that took place in Washington state involving a man, a stud-horse, and a barn.  Or several men, actually.  Videotape of the events revealed that several men had found the charms of Mr. Ed to be more than they could resist.

In any event, one of these disturbed gentlemen died from internal injuries suffered during the intimate liaison with his equine companion.

Filmmaker Robinson Devor and THINKfilms distributor Mark Urman have emphasized the film's universalism.  Urman says the film is "a universal look at what goes on behind the facade of everyday, quotidian, normal American middle-class life."

Devor admits that the protagonist "seems like an oddball at the outset of the movie", but the filmmaker is trying to reveal "the human capacity to do the most awful things, chart(ing) the journey of this unhappily married man who began to explore sexual alternatives, as so many do."

 Are we to now assume mistresses,porn and prostitues are now out of vogue?

Are horses now the "in"  thing?

Being in a state that is second only to Kentucky in horses per capita
I'll never look at my neighbors again without wondering not whom they are cheating on their spouces with..but what breed.

I am sure hoever in light of this. Our wonderful governor will be shortly passing a law forbiding this practice. It will be the one law he signs that makes sence.
Particularly in light of his most recent signing into law making it illegal to steal dead body parts.

Forget the fact this hasnt been a problem, nor has a case ever been reported of someone stealing dead body parts. Thus there is no real need for such a law. But he signed it into law anyway

Good law. We just didnt need it

LOL

You may want to re-think your statement.

Seriously.
