    They need to sort out the title cards for these YouTube trailers, the play button is strategically placed over the characters' faces!

    He's running with the playbutton!

    The young (with most of their career still ahead of them) don't dare to go against Disney because they own Hollywood.

    Yea...also checked this out over the weekend. It's pretty bad. Tries to outdo The Big Short in style, but ends up being a verbose, anemic, unfocused lecture on corporate scamming...just no good.
     
     
    You nailed it. It's a fucked up film. Most people are wooed by the cult horror imagery (which is all done very well of course)...but it's the way it deals with the protagonist's trauma, in its operatic aesthetics, delivery and execution that got to me very deeply. It's a relationship drama, gone horribly wrong, and Aster clearly knows how to twist the knife.

    I have the same complaint about the Millennium Falcon ride at Disneyland. The screen is really dim so you can't really see what the hell happening. I definitely experience that in cinemas on the rare occasions I go. It has that look of an LCD screen with the backlight off and shitty black levels.

    Oh yeah, it's loud. Maybe loudness has to compensate for the lack of luminosity?

    I talked about this issue many times (more than 25 years) and finally someone from the factory itself admits it:
     
    Edward Norton: Theaters are killing cinema:

    Although, in my experience, sound was never a problem.

    House of Cards was released on media. So was Orange Is the New Black. 
     
    Rest easy. It will get a release. 
     
    It just won't be talked about three days after its streaming debut.

    Sure it is. It's the next step in cinema. 
     
    Cinema:
     
    - the production of films as an art or industry
     
    - the art or technique of making motion pictures
     
     
     
    Scorsese won't back down on his statements:
     
    Scorsese: “Theaters have become amusement parks. That is all fine and good but don’t invade everything else in that sense. … That is fine and good for those who enjoy that type of film and, by the way, knowing what goes into them now, I admire what they do. It’s not my kind of thing; it simply is not. It’s creating another kind of audience that thinks cinema is that.”
     
    Scorsese: “It’s not cinema, it’s something else. We shouldn’t be invaded by it. We need cinemas to step up and show films that are narrative films.”

    The problem with a lot of Netflix content is you can tell the creative decisions are driven by algorithms. Oh you like The Goonies and ET? Here, you might like this show called Stranger Things.
