Okay I don’t think I’ve ever seen a picture of Ted Sarandos before, do all guys named Ted just start looking like that after they reach a certain age? Also this is such a dumb fucking statement I hate you Ted Sarandos and also Ted Cruz for good measure.
Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos previously said that people want to “watch movies at home” rather than in theaters. “What is the consumer trying to tell us? That they’d like to watch movies at home, thank you. The studios and the theaters are duking it out over trying to preserve

Y’know, a Transformers advent calendar would’ve been difficult to do in the past, but I think it work if you did a Transformers Blokees advent calendar. You could do a couple of the bots, maybe two of those alt mode ones, could be fun!

I don’t wanna make it out like I fully hate Streaming Services, I don’t, they are a good convenience, and they have opened up newer filmmakers to more opportunities, but the Theater experience is still important for a reason.

Ted Sarandos said this year that theatrical distribution is antiquated, and he’s in the process of buying one of the hallmarks of Hollywood since its inception, which ended up proving him wrong several times (Sinners, Superman, etc). We’re not being dramatic enough.
Everyone is a little dramatic, this doesn’t mean the end of cinema. Netflix has dominated streaming, they just opened numerous Netflix houses (with a theater), the finale of Stranger Things will release in a movie theater, they are making VR and game experiences, they are
