The Netflix Thread

[Grouchy]

Yeah, I'm gonna watch that. Hope it's excellent.

Very, very exciting, though I'd always hoped for a live movie trilogy with CGI mo-cap Bones and regular humans. Just glad it's getting adapted finally!

Hell yeah. Night made.

Bit NSFW due to an orgy scene in the background in one shot, be forewarned.

One of the best animated shows nobody's talking about. Highly recommended guys.

One thought that's come to me recently is that Netflix may be doing the smartest thing in years by limiting their movies to 2-3 weeks in theaters.

It's impossible to know since we don't see how they gross, but my thought is that by getting the word out that there's only two weeks to see a movie in the theater, it actually makes it an incentive to see it there. If not, Netflix forever as a backup. I feel like Irishman/Marriage Story is selling out quite well. In the end, Netflix may actually do better this way then spending the cash to get it in 2000+ theaters where it almost ends up doing the same, profit-wise.

Thoughts?

Their theatrical releases still feel like a perfunctory nod to the Academy. When people like Spielberg talk shit, Netflix needs to play the game.

Besides, most theaters told them to fuck off. They didn't have a choice but to go small.

I think it does work, like you say, in terms of word-of-mouth and publicity, tho.

But theaters told them to fuck off because Netflix didn't want such a long showing in their theaters as well right?

Instead of having multiple streaming services, I've decided to try out the DVD plan from Netflix again. Many TV shows can be used here (Handmaid's Tale, Twin Peaks) and new released movies too.

Last time I tried that I never made it though my DVD queue. Good luck.

Friendly reminder most anything can be ordered in to your local library for the rental price of free.

I just finally found the blu ray of Secret Sunshine that's been sitting in a pile for about two years. Gonna watch today (better be a GD masterpiece) then get my dvd/br queue up and running again as well. It's a great service. I dropped off for a while, but I really do love getting to see high quality transfers of older movies.
