Yeah, first one was a good watch. Will have to keep an eye out for these.
A underrated Radiohead song and an overrated film.Never heard of it. What an earth is Knives out?
Something I realised recently, their Netflix produced products aren't necessarily always Netflix. Some of the stuff they've just bought the rights to and put Netflix on it. Think Amazon are guilty of this too.Netflix films tend to be shite compared to their series. Often find they seem rushed/the writing is really jarred. They feel like everyone working on them never spends any real time working together.
Loved Knives Out. Sure Netflix will butcher it.
Is it not a good murder mystery film? Cus that's all it is?A underrated Radiohead song and an overrated film.
No film with Daniel Craig attempting a pompous deep South accent can be considered a good film.Is it not a good murder mystery film? Cus that's all it is?
Nice! I loved it too, and this means cinema closures won't be affecting the sequel and I'll have easy access to it. Hope they'll put the first one of Netflix as well.
There a couple of different kinds of Netflix products actually. There's the stuff they've produced from start to finish and is really their own product; then there's the stuff they acquired later on in the production process, currently for example films that wouldn't be getting a theatrical release because of the pandemic and are thus kinda lost; and then stuff that they weren't involved in at all, but eventually got exclusive rights for in a country and thus brand as a Netflix product anyway (for example, Netflix Canada present Black Mirror as a Netflix series, but it's a UK series that's got nothing to do with Netflix).Something I realised recently, their Netflix produced products aren't necessarily always Netflix.

The accent was on purpose. Have you ever seen Poirot?Nice! I loved it too, and this means cinema closures won't be affecting the sequel and I'll have easy access to it. Hope they'll put the first one of Netflix as well.
I agree that Craig's accent wasn't quite the film's highlight though.

Yes, I have.The accent was on purpose. Have you ever seen Poirot?
Well put man. Thought it was alright but confused how they’re gonna squeeze more films outta it.A underrated Radiohead song and an overrated film.
Sure, but that makes it a reference but not necessarily fun.The accent was on purpose. Have you ever seen Poirot?
The Ole performance thread.Never heard of it. What an earth is Knives out?
The Netflix boardroom whenever a film does well at the box officeDidn’t even know it was a franchise.
different mystery to be solved each movie I imagine.Well put man. Thought it was alright but confused how they’re gonna squeeze more films outta it.
Yep. 450M only for the rights. Production probably won't be more than 100M for both movies. The first one had a 40M budget.But that’s $225m per film. With no vfx. What could cost so much? Or is the production budget on top of this?
They told Johnson he has an unlimited budget and complete control over the films.That's a lot of money to make sequels to a not very good film.
I was just curious what you meant by 'predatory platform' and 'further decline'. I've been trying to figure out how Netflix is different from major film studios in terms of its production support and how film opportunity and quality are declining, and I'm not getting there.Didn't care for the first one but it has its fans. Fine. Though I found it an entirely superfluous project. Stylistically and tonally it brought nothing to a well worn genre. The best you could say about it was that it was like a Wes Anderson caper without the texture. None of which is a problem because it found its audience.
However you now have a sequel to a tired original, already bought and paid for by a predatory home streaming platform. The worry is that the continuation of this trend of ceaseless investment in easy, indulgent entertainment, will result in a further decline in opportunity and ultimately quality.
That's been around 95% due to the nature of the film market. Tl;dr no one sold Netflix the 'good stuff' and they (netflix) were relegated to picking around in the scrap barrel (and potential sellers had to risk the ire of their customers/peers etc).Netflix films tend to be shite compared to their series. Often find they seem rushed/the writing is really jarred. They feel like everyone working on them never spends any real time working together...

It still seems like a lot.450 million seems a lot until you realize they have over 200 million subscribers.
Netflix creates a lot of average to somewhat good new shows and axes them after a season or two. That is their model it seems. They bank on people watching a new show out of curiosity. This is just my observation. Stranger things is the only show on the top of my head that is currently running for more than a couple of seasons. I actually don't watch any of their new shows now unless they have a few seasons and a following.I was just curious what you meant by 'predatory platform' and 'further decline'.

Yea it seems excessive. But netflix are loaded and taking out loans or bonds or something (i am not an expert).It still seems like a lot.
What didn't you like about it?It wasn’t even that good.
Sure, but do Netflix thus drag down overall global quality in movies? Do they have that much influence? Or are they contributing to a global downward trend, to make it a bit more general? I thought that was @dumbo's point. I'm not necessarily disputing it; I don't follow film nearly enough to be able to make any kind of general comment on this. I'm just wondering if that point can be substantiated, or if it's hyperbole.Netflix creates a lot of average to somewhat good new shows and axes them after a season or two.

Their movies other than marriage story and Irishman are fairly forgettable as well.
