The idea that an entertainment company is telling its creatives to aim for disposable mediocrity absolutely infuriates me.

that "second screen" quote is honestly absolutely disgusting. "just make your show as dull as possible"

Friendly Space Ninja in their review of Damsel sums up the netflix problem to one thing. Netflix isn't about making movies, it is about making movie trailers. The movies are average, but all the exciting scenes and funny lines are put in the trailer, and the reason is to draw subscriptions. They don't actually care if people watch or not, as long as they pay money to watch.

this story makes Ted Sarandos' claim this week that Barbie and Oppenheimer would've been just as popular if they were Netflix movies even more preposterous — if a movie can be one of your most popular movies and everyone who watched it did so by accident because it had a similar name to something else, that's a sign that no one is really engaging with what they watch beyond the most passive level. meanwhile, Barbie was so popular that people were putting together specific themed outfits just to go to the movie together in groups. at this point, I'm not holding out hope for even the one week theatrical release for Wake Up Dead Man that Glass Onion got — Ted Sarandos doesn't want any of us to see the movie; he just wants us to be in the room while it happens to be on.

Dwayne Johnson is Afro-American/Samoan, not Hawaiian, but he learned to craft a better received Hawaiian persona for himself from briefly living in Honolulu as a child, when his blackness became an issue for him in his early Wrestling career. It's an easy mistake to make when you only go by how he presents his personal brand now.

I think another thing about theatrical flops hitting the top 10 is that most people just weren't willing to pay money to see a film, but they're paying for Netflix anyway so why not watch it?

That math of equating a single Netflix view as two tickets is insane. It forgets the convenience factor of Netflix and all of these other streaming services. It seems nowadays, people don't want to go to another place to watch a movie and spend a lot more than the $20/month.

5:20 a movie that tanked at the box office reaching the Netflix's top10 is the modern equivalent of those movies in the 80s and 90s that failed at the box office but everybody rented in Blockbuster... except that for what I've heard Blockbuster (and later, DVD sales) gave the creators of those old movies more residuals than what Netflix gives

'Focus on high-concept quality instead of something designed to appeal to everyone.' If the games industry has taught me anything, corps will literally do anything but that, and then fire all the creatives when it somehow doesn't work out.

“Jim Carrey but instead of maxing out humor, split those stats between humor and abs” absolutely destroyed me lol

Hey Nando, it's really hard to hear what you're saying over the movie "Red Notice" which I constantly loop in the background, can you fix your mixing to accommodate that?

I’m kind of glad that I managed to find time in my “Red Notice” watching to view this video. Great work, Nando. And now I’ll get back to seeing “Red Notice” on two screens at once.

Zack Snyder realising he just said FU to the studios, and then realised thats actual where directors make a career, and then back peddling is chefs kiss

This isnt even Ruby Rose’s first Die Hard rip off

Ryan Reynolds is Jim Carry but with less funny and more abs has got to be the most accurate description known to man.

Please do more of these. Interesting analysis and meta-commentary videos like this are the "appointment viewing" that holds your attention and have some worth, compared to the "easter eggs" and "things you may have missed" videos that are youtube Muzak.

This is a fun lil divergence of your typical content and I'm here for it lol, this was a very well made video on a niche topic which was right up my alley

I'd call that SAS a "dad who used to watch a lot of TV" movie, because that's precisely the kind of stuff my dad watches. lol It also falls under "content" as does the original Red Notice, movies made to be not be watched as much as consumed and quickly forgotten, so the streaming service can pad its numbers.
