re: Steven Spielberg does not want Netflix films to be nominated for Academy Awards

I completely disagree with Spielberg here but I see what he's trying to do. He's trying to keep the old system in place where movies are watched as a community inside of a movie theater. The problem with that is, no one wants to pay $12-15 a ticket to watch an evening show at a movie theater anymore. Once you factor in a family of four and concessions, you're looking at a $100 bill just to go see a movie on a Friday or a Saturday night. Sitting down on the couch with the family to marathon multiple original films on a streaming site is so much more cost effective.

Agree and technology allows for a home experience on par with a theatre. I personally think movie theaters won't exist as we know them in a decade.

This obviously isn’t true. I know several people who still love going to the movies. Movie theaters will never die. Part of the fun and the experience is being in the theater with other people. Part of movies and their experience is being with others to share that experience with.

I refuse to go to the Baton Rouge theaters on a weekend night. Too many trashy people. So I end up never being able to catch a show in theaters. It isn’t about the cost. I really enjoy going to movies.

Made for tv movies weren't considered either. Streaming should be placed in same class
