Like being in a movie theater would've made her dogwater movie any better. Where do we line up to tell these whiny "artists" to f*** right off?

She really decided the flush the rest of her credibility down the toilet.

It's amazing TV's been around for nearly 100 years and still some people just refuse to accept it for some reason.

Nah, I agree to an extent; theaters dying sucks, and watching a new movie at home just isn't the same for me.
That said, there's a rot at the heart of the entire entertainment industry these days brought on be increasing trends towards monopolization and emphasis on IP ownership over creativity, and that'd be happening whether we were watching things more at the theaters or on streaming services.

I think she's just suffering from a case of combined selective deafness and blindness. It happens to a lot of people.

Very few people can do what she does. Like, even if you don't like her films, most people simply don't have the ability and drive to direct blockbuster movies. Like, you don't have to like her and think her point is stupid but c'mon.

I'm noticing this complaint lately from directors about streaming services. I like the occasional big screen too, but otherwise? Streaming is quicker, I'm still anxious about Covid, and my living room is cosier than a poorly air-conditioned room full of annoying teens. Let me live my life, rich person.

I also don't have to think that whining about movie theaters in a pandemic that's killed near 5 million people is anywhere near appropriate, do I?

No but you talk a lot of shit and you of course go right at her as an artist. You get so angry with a lot of your threads. It's kind of scary sometimes. Eh, screw it, I don't want to see your threads anymore. Going to block your annoying ass.

For what it's worth, there's a lot more to it than one cherry-picked out-of-context quote, and she's not really wrong.

"It's not my fault my movie didn't do well. It's those damned kids, and their streaming services."
Okay Boomer.

I do find it pretty headtilting how pretty much any time the subject of Wonder Woman 1984 comes up anymore people just roundly dismiss it as widely despised and a disaster on every level. Its critical reviews were fairly middle of the road while audience response leaned positive and the sequel was greenlit two days after it released. There's pretty much no way you can call it some total fiasco regardless of whether you actually liked it or not.

I'm pretty happy that WW84 came to HBO Max because I didn't have to waste money and gas to watch it.
As someone who seemingly never fails to be in a theater with the most obnoxious/loud people, I am all for theaters going away. Let's go back to the drive-ins.

I just go by what everyone else I watch says since I have little interest in movies to begin with. I thought the general consensus was it was inferior to the original Wonder Woman.

Seeing Wonder Woman 1984 on a big screen wouldn't have made it enjoyable. No, there were a ton of problems with WW1984 that wouldn't have been solved by putting it on the big screen, but a lot of - I dare say most - movies truly do lose that special something when viewed on a TV instead of in a theatre. Equally, the average movie made for a streaming service that cost $2 million to produce and was made in six months isn't going to benefit a whole lot from the big screen presentation and isn't going to make the same kind of cultural impact. Even the most memorable ones tend to only be memorable as meme fodder and forgotten when the meme is played out. Obviously there are exceptions to the rule, but until the theatrical experince can be equalled in the home I cannot disagree with her.

In a perfect world we'd be able to keep theaters alive and well while also doing the home release. Cause yeah somethings need to be experienced on the big screen but in that same vein the world is changing going to see movies (especially for bigger families) is pretty expensive and the fact that some people don't want to be sitting elbow to elbow with a bunch of strangers. If Hollywood was smart they'd really try to find a way to have the best of both worlds. And to the people in the industry that think home release and whatnot isn't art, art is one of the most subjective things ever, what makes something art is different to everyone of us and they should try and remember that the next time they claim something isn't true art because it wasn't what they want art to be

I'm really not sure what "legendary greatness" means as Norm of the North also had a theatrical release; releasing in theaters doesn't grant the movie instant success.
But I get the notion of wanting your movie to be an experience. Personally, even before pandemic times, I didn't care to see 90% of movies that were released theatrically. Offering movies on digital the same day as theater releases doesn't degrade the movie if that's the experience you want to have. It's not as if watching The Suicide Squad on my laptop makes it a worse movie than if I saw it in theaters.
But I dunno; I still see theaters as an outdated concept and when you combine streaming services that were already blurring the lines and now the pandemic having disrupted everything, I don't see going back to fully exclusive theater releases as a widespread idea.

The movie industry hasn't dealt with the fact that the movie experience has changed forever for most people.
They're in the denial stage of grief.
