I wonder how many times in my life I will get to see Batman's parents die? Or James bond play poker? Or star wars get ruined?
I don't see anything wrong with serialized media, the problem is people are not also taking chances on more novel stuff. Even when it gets made. "Moon" came out fifteen years ago and I thought it was really good but damn near every time I bring it up I'm the only one who even heard about it. "Knives Out" was great, "Glass Onion" was alright, we get weird stuff like "Pig" and "The Menu" and that's all stuff with big names and decent budgets. There's tons of smaller stuff coming out too but if you don't pay attention or seek out film festivals, or know someone who does, it might as well not exist.
Are theaters just too expensive for casual audiences? Is the opportunity cost too high? Or is it just a marketing failure?
I love moon. It is a shame it is not better known, great movie.
Yes theatres are too much for a cash strapped general population. But we also see streaming get ruined all the time, the last time netflix had a show I liked (I am not OK with this) they cut it after one season, and for what? We have a situation where movies/shows should be easier then ever to make but we instead have next to nothing worthwhile out and advertised.
I also hate when they remake movies that don't work with today's production companies. Remember what they did to Old Boy? Why did they even try? And why did they think removing the big shocker (the whole point of the movie) would work?
My girlfriend and I still use yes chef because of the menu. Even in non cooking situations
