Not every Multiplex/Movietheater is as awful as you think.

where the people who made the movie get paid for their labor get paid for their work. he’s not even saying a theater is the only place he wants his film seen. he’s saying he wants his movie in cinemas for as long as it’s viable there. knives out 3 would still come to streaming. you’d just have to wait a couple more weeks to see it. it’s a minor inconvenience for you, but for a second line gaffer, or for a craft services worker, the cinema time might be their entire livelihood for the year.
if you think everyone is rude in a place you go, and this is the amount of effort you’re willing to put in to understanding what’s going on and what people are saying, i think it’s very possible that the reason is because you are abrasive to interact with

I seriously doubt those members of the crew are paid based on box office success. Pumping out more movies for streaming should increase the number of movies that are available to work on.

Their union fought extremely hard to get distribution shares from box office runs in the 00s and its still part of their collective contract. It’s an extremely meager share, but it’s still where their financial stability comes from. Yeah there’s more jobs available if more shovel movies in production all the time, but that doesn’t get them more stability, it aligns them closer to day laborers. The IATSE Local 44 (who most of hollywood’s studios’ workers of this variety are represented by) are expected to strike in 2027 because they don’t get as much from streaming films as box office films.

Not trying to insult. Just saying Rian Johnson saying he would like it if his movie production staff were paid, and you telling him to go fuck himself, and you perceive everyone you interact with as rude might be related and indicative that you are abrasive to interact with. I’m willing to be wrong, but take it into consideration. Because Rian Johnson isn’t talking about you. He’s not telling you he need you to go to the cinema. But you sure took it like that, which is odd

You should go to better theaters

In the past 10 years, you can’t think of even one movie that was good and went to theaters?
Quill7513@slrpnk.net 1 day ago
There’s so many good films that came out in the last 10 years that are to this day hard to find on streaming because they don’t fit into the Netflix, Hulu, or Disney+ model of "shut your brain off and shut the fuck up about the economy"
Some of these are very easy to find because they were too popular to be ignored, but some of these I saw in a cinema, and then that was it. I need to either wait for an independent theater to decide they want to rent a reel for a weekend for 2 screenings, or to save up $25 to buy the movie outright because it’s not streaming anywhere.
Honestly putting together this list made me feel like I’m actually going crazy a little bit. There’s been so many masterpieces in the last 10 years. To the extent that I left an entire Mad Max film off my list, and the one I left off is the one everyone likes.
The problem isn’t that no good movies are coming out. The problem is the studio system and the streaming services don’t promote the creative and innovative movies. They don’t fit into the overall system of propaganda that our media landscape is. Particularly any Boots Riley or Spike Lee film is going to be made to be seen by people who already know they’re generational directors because the studios expressly don’t want you to think about how America exploits Black art. If you did that you might do something about it, and that would disrupt the money streams.

You should spend time with better people.
I go to the theater a few times a month. I encountered two rude people in the last 5 years. Better theaters have better people. Or at least encourage better behaviors.
