“Folks grew up loving that they could go experience this cool thing…so anyway I thought it would be even cooler if they couldn’t AND I got money for it”
When asked if Netflix is destroying Hollywood, co-CEO Ted Sarandos said “No, we’re saving Hollywood.”
“We’re in a period of transition. Folks grew up thinking, ‘I want to make movies on a gigantic screen and have strangers watch them [and to have them] play in the theater for two months and people cry and sold-out shows … It’s an outdated concept.”

Netflix teases that Warner Bros’ theatrical release windows will evolve to become shorter
“My pushback has been mostly in the fact of the long exclusive windows, which we don’t really think are that consumer friendly,” says Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos
@B0bbyBlak3@BenDackiw I can’t remember the last time I sat up in my seat and said “oh shit, this might be the coolest thing I’ve ever seen” this many times in a film
@georgecarmi Best part is that you can keep backing up and making the list longer and it’s still great. Take it back to 2013 through Prisoners and it’s still a crazy run of films
@baileylikemovie Like I didn’t feel nearly as gripped visually or by the score as I did in the first half. Again, I get that this is a personal preference issue and people can definitely come away really appreciating the second half, I just can’t say I’m one of them
Respectfully, nah. I feel like I was tricked into watching nearly 2 hours of a movie that I was loving, for that to turn into something else entirely. I get that me not liking the second half is a preference thing, but I think it’s totally valid to take issue with that turn
People are being very hyperbolic in saying that the second half of The Brutalist ‘goes off the rails’ or whatever. Thematically, that shift in tone is ESSENTIAL and the film really wouldn’t work without it. The second half is where Corbet (albeit unsubtly) makes his statement.
@baileylikemovie I don’t know if I had a hard expectation that wasn’t lived up to or something like that. I don’t even think the actions of certain characters is what bothered as much as what felt to me like a very different “story telling style” for lack of a better term.
@TFG_Football That the Ravens are fine still. A few adjustments and they can get humming again.
- more Trenton Simpson > Malik Harrison, play MA as an early down edge
- start using Hamilton as a SCB rather than a pure safety
- Ben Cleveland > Faalele at RG
