I think there was a directive earlier this year that said production needed to shift to make more of their content “ambient”. Netflix doesn’t care if their content is any good its all about engagement and minutes watched (while you’re on your phone.Its all rather depressing. The Godfather Part 2 has the same value as 4 episodes of Season 5 You

Not all their content – just the ‘ambient viewing’ productions like ‘You’ etc. where the majority of the major plotpoints are verbal. ‘Ripley’ is a great example of programming that is not ambient viewing and relies on full visual engagement from the viewer.

I forgot about The Shadow Strays. That was really good, too.

Well, I don’t have a phone in my hand when I watch Tick Tick Boom or The Shadow Strays, and if anybody from Netflix knew, I doubt they’d be telling me that I’m watching incorrectly.

I don’t subscribe to the bullshit notion that modern movies are for people on their phones all the time. So much so, that I’m a dictator with my friends when we watch movies and I tell them “put your fucking phone away and pay attention.” (Jokingly)

its cos Netflix’s CEO admitted that their “content” is designed to be “consumed” while a phone is in your hand. This type of movie is one level below switch your brain off and enjoy

You and Tarantino need to collaborate. =)

In the third film, he will travel back in time to defeat Miyamoto Musashi in a sword fight, cutting his head clean off.

In the final chapter, he will ascend to heaven and throw God (played by Tarantino, of course) down the stairway.

Maybe The Night Comes For Us doesn’t count since it wasn’t made by Netflix, but I would list that, Havoc, Kate, The Killer ‘23, The Gray Man, The Adam Project, Day Shift, Beverly Hills Cop 4, The Old Guard 1&2, Carter, The Irishman, Tick Tick Boom, and a ton of others.

I don’t know where this idea comes from that being a Netflix film automatically makes something inferior.

Hoping for the best with this one!

He could be a great Frankenstein’s creature without needing any make-up. Just two nails and voilà!

What would really work story-wise is if Bruce won, and Cliff was feeling shitty after that, and then in the present day, he has to take on more dangerous opponents and “get his thunder back.”

They can always do the other Bruces.

There’s a third option – the ‘No Retreat, No Surrender’ approach!

You could argue a 2 week token theatrical window doesn’t really count as a theatrical release. Also Netflix admitted that their content is designed to be watched while you are scrolling on your phone at the same time

That’s ridiculous. Mank and The Killer ‘23 were good enough to be in theatres, but making movies for Netflix is not a downgrade. I like that he has a contract with them.

Totally agree with you there. People can’t take anything these days.
