You seem awful defensive about this subject? as if it's personal to you?
Disappointing year of movies and TV
- Thread starter 2013
- Start date
This is my option you dont need to agree with it.
I think this maybe me and/or my age group so most on here may not understand my point.
Im saying huge companies expect us to go spend money on the products they have made but when you need it the most they dont provide anything and delay and push back bigger projects which they have been advertising
they could push smaller projects just to say thank you and show they understand people are stuck at home with limited options.
whats the last new release movie you watched outside netflix.
TV shows have not been a big issue but whats the last new tv show you watched outside netflix or amazon
I have said this before netflix has been great and has been providing new content each month, I think without netflix Im not sure what I would do and would not have much to watch.
how are options limited ? we have so many VOD option at the moment or sale options like apple and goodgle,
ok I can understand they may not want to release huge blockbusters outside the cinema but but they make so much each year why not release something just to show you understand that people are stuck at the moment with limited options.
like someone has already said cinema is stuck in the past.

I dont know why some people only read what they like and ignore the rest.

As these two have put it, there's not a lack of stuff to watch, and I'd be amazed if you've watched practically everything on Netflix/Prime/Disney/Sky et al.
it's crazy how some of the worlds biggest actors back in the day seemingly keep making bad movies because they need monies.another quick pay check
keanu got lucky though
That's exactly what the big movie studios are doing... Except people just read the headline that Bond is postponed and go off on one...
Ghosts, Us, Normal People, I May Destroy You, Years and Years are all good.
OK, can you name a few not made by Netflix/Prime/Disney
Please name something.

Shockingly the ones with digital services are continuing in the pandemic, the ones without those means are struggling because their means of release are gone. Were you expecting them to somehow develop and launch a digital service in this time period?
Do you live in the third world and are jealous?

I don't think you can ever be satisfied if you're one of those people who needs to watch a new TV show or film pretty much every single night of the week. At the moment that effect is exacerbated due to less content being produced/released and socialising restrictions which have meant more people choosing to stay in on an evening.
I've forced myself to watch some absolute dross over the last 6 months.

Not sure what that has to do with my question.
Because you have not understood ill ask again, Name something NOT MADE by Netflix/Prime/Disney I did not say anything about them streaming it.
Also they have a few more options like google, Apple ect

And those service have continued to release things right? Simple fact is netflix etc are not going to pay to release the latest Bond film or something, they couldn't afford the amount that would be needed to recoup production costs.
We all understand you, we just thing your rant is nonsensical.
I don't think you can obviously tell if something is Netflix/Prime made without playing the film.
But is there any reason you won't watch anything made by Netflix/Prime? I've seen some very good things made by Netflix/Prime studios.
So Bond is the only movie made this year ?
I rant because I was a bit annoyed with the big studios. Just being stuck for months is getting to me and the only way im managing is TV.
Simple reason, not providing content when its needed.
I've been doing the same.
Im not one that needs to watch something new everyday or week but I would have expected some big studios to offer some content knowing the issues.
I have no reason, I watch both Netflix/Prime, they are really the only ones offering anything.

So to summarise:
You complained that it was a disappointing year for movies and tv, complaining that nothing new was being made or released. You were then told that there were plenty of things that were being made or released on the very popular VOD services, which apparently you were aware of but had temporarily forgotten about or something.
Now you've changed your arguments to just be films and apparently only those that aren't already being released on those services.
Basically you seem to be whining that the big studios haven't come and given you a private screening of some films or something.

I will say it in a way you will understand. because it seam your just hear to start a augment over nothing.
I had not forgetten.
it has been a disappointing year for both movies and TV full stop, not much has been released other then what netflix, Disney, and amazon has produced and released themselves.
if you disagree please name some title of what has been released in the past 6 months that was not made for VOD, a simple way to disprove what im saying,
before you start every year show and movies are made by other studios so you cant keep pointing to amazon and netflix and its not just lockdown stopping them.
its not about studios giving me a private screening.
My point is studios will want us to spend money on movies once this is over but they could not care to offer anything during the time people are stuck at home.
