Netflix isn't a fan of cinema 😑
Matt Damon says Netflix wants movies to restate "the plot three or four times in the dialogue" to account for viewers being on their phones:
“The standard way to make an action movie that we learned was, you usually have three set pieces. One in the first act, one in the second, one in the third,” Damon explained. “You spend most of your money on that one in the third act. That’s your finale. And now they’re like, ‘Can we get a big one in the first five minutes? We want people to stay. And it wouldn’t be terrible if you reiterated the plot three or four times in the dialogue because people are on their phones while they’re watching.’”

“I’m seeing these photographs… and he’s wearing the exact same costume that we designed for Hagrid. Part of me was like: What’s the point?”

Quentin Tarantino says 2019 was 'the last year of movies' due to streaming taking over
"What the fuck is a movie now? ... Something that plays in theaters for a token release of four fucking weeks? ... and by the second week you can watch it on [your] TV ... I didn't get into all of this for diminishing returns ... [since] 2019 ... It's gotten drastically worse"
