Netflix is just mad they can’t co-op another award like they did with winning the emmys when Orange Is The New Black was labeled a comedy.

I doubt it. It didn’t interfere with production or shooting, and it’s not a scandal because it doesn’t tell us anything unexpected about her. J-Law was already perceived as the kind of young woman who’d do something silly but harmless after a few drinks. That’s what people enjoy about her.

Yeah. This is pretty much her persona: mildly to moderately embarrassing thing that nearly everyone has done that ends up coming off as endearing or annoying depending on your perspective.

Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton’s relationship does way too much, all the time.

I’m wondering how it is that an article about the cinema industry became about French snobbery and how backwards it is? I’m talking about the comment section, not the article.

Why is it French snobbery when famous international (US) movie makers are cited in this article? This is a movie industry thing, not a French thing, smh.

Actually the French movie industry has never been better. Theater sales are on the rise.

Especially when the big name directors quoted in this article probably haven’t seen a movie in a theater outside of premieres. A film premier and an actual public showing are two very different things. And many likely have a theater set up in their home.

so pretty much 90% of woody allen films?

The only actual issue I have with the transition of watching movies at theaters to now, for most people, watching them at home is the lack of an audience.

“Going to the movies is a timeless ritual. You need to stand in line for one or two hours next to some guy who’s urinating into a trash can while you wait to get in. It’s part of the overall experience!,

I wonder how the French rank in video streaming piracy?

Additionally, due to a French “Media Chronology Law,” a movie can’t be shown on a streaming service for three years after it’s left theaters.

For me, as a disabled woman, the “experience” of going to a movie theatre is far inferior to watching it in my own home. I can pause the movie to go to the bathroom, I can put subtitles on and even change the offset by about half a second, as slightly delayed subtitles work better for my brain for some reason, I can…

And here we have the premise of Woody’s next, sad film. An older Jewish gentleman in New York is forced to watch movies on a computer by a young, pretty ingenue. They fall in love, even though she is being pursued by a good looking lawyer her own age because she just loves the pathos that surrounds the old guy who is…

Surprise surprise, festivals are out of touch and behind the times.
