It is said that the group meets annually. I understand that this is a standard trope in movies and the arts, but, I didn't buy it whether the...

I wasn't the biggest fan of the original, but, it was a decent enough comic mystery. GLASS ONION starts off awkwardly with the large cast being introduced with some awfully forced 'witty banter'. Some of the actors are entertaining enough, but, it doesn't really kick into gear into the murders...

I mentioned all that in my post. I was just expressing disappointment that folks will only have a single week to run out and see it on the big screen.

Obviously, this was a compromise to get the bigger chains to show a Netflix film. BLONDE has been in theaters for 3 weeks now. And, I have read of no 'One Week And Out' restriction on Inarritu's BARDO. Of course, those movies are in very limited release in mostly indie theaters. So, for now...

Regardless, it didn't wed Scorsese to Netflix. And, my main point is that all the loss leaders in the world won't add up eventually. You can't keep spending the kind of money Netflix is on financially dubious big deals. That's the reason that most Wall Street analysts aren't gung ho on Netflix...

I didn't mean to imply that the Criterion release of THE IRISHMAN would pay for Netflix' investment - just that it made a little ancillary cash that may not happen with Knives Out II & III. And, it's not part of Netflix' model anyway. They want to force you to subscribe to have access their...

I understand that "model", but even in the days of yore, studios couldn't keep on losing money on big projects. Otherwise, Century City would still be a part of the Fox (now Disney) backlot

THE IRISHMAN wasn't smart, either. At least they allowed a Criterion release to recoup some money. Even Netflix doesn't have an endless well of cash

I swear that I thought that at the end of KNIVES OUT Craig's character would be revealed to be using a phony Southern accent all along. It was that unconvincing. As to the Netflix deal. It doesn't make economic sense. Are there really $400M in new subscribers out there just to see a straight to...
