Seems helpful. I’m probably watching Netflix, driving a ride share right this very moment AND cooking my family a nutritious dinner all at this very moment

netflix should just buy the entire back catalogue of The Archers and be done with it.

Talk about the wrong response!

If they want people to not look away or do something else while the movie is playing you gotta keep it interesting.

Ya know, like perhaps making movies that aren't just rehashes of the same old stories.

Make movies and shows that keep people on their toes!

Making a crime drama? Throw in some traveler from the future or a demon or both! Give the judge two heads because of a "merging accident" or something!

Putting together a horror movie? Throw in some romance among the monsters! Have them feed each other eyeballs or something!

Making an anime? Try something totally radical! Like a male protagonist with non-dark hair that has a personality, or make a couple—in love—who get stuck somewhere together, alone have actual sex (like normal teens would) or something!

Making a K-drama? Add a black guy and make him one of the main characters... Haha, just kidding! That would be too radical! That'd be just as extreme as making an anime that covers the time period a few years after "the hero" formed his harem!

Interesting takes skill. Skill takes money. Capitalists don't care about skill or art. They are only interested in money.

As long as they don't mess with the tradition of saying the name of the show/movie in the show/movie in the most corny manner possible.

Netflix movies are pretty crap for doing these because we ourselves are to blame. I admit I have done this couple of times while watching movie or TV at home.

I like when Matt Damon restates his name three or four times in the dialogue

Blame his agent for getting him a pokemon gig as a pokemon
