> “The standard way to make an action movie that we learned was, you usually have three set pieces. One in the first act, one in the second, one in the third,” Damon explained. “You spend most of your money on that one in the third act. That’s your finale. And now they’re like, ‘Can we get a big one in the first five minutes? We want people to stay. And it wouldn’t be terrible if you reiterated the plot three or four times in the dialogue because people are on their phones while they’re watching.’”
Gotta pander to people with low attention spans in the year 2026
And yet he makes films for them…
The rip was awful.
He’s not wrong. Netflix does actively aim to make “background movies” for people on their phones
Oh thanks Matt I haven’t heard that before posted all over the place.
I’m only on my phone if it’s a shitty, boring movie but enjoyable enough to keep watching.
And don’t get me started on the awful movies that start with a gigantic action scene and then flash to “24 hours earlier”. That’s how you know that next hour is going to be super boring.
Netflix has admitted that. “Second screen content” they call it.
Idiocracy becoming real
Fuck I’m literally watching his lastest movie while typing this
People are gonna start a trend called “mono-tasking” which is just doing/watching the thing your supposed to do, instead of using your phone at the same time. It’s kind of pathetic when you think about it.
The quality of writing for the web user has plummeted. It’s sad that now movies and TV have to appeal to the scroller now, too.
As much as I want to condemn this, I think it does make sense in some cases to help the viewers along. The problem isn’t just people on their phones. Sometimes a convoluted storyline can leave viewers behind.
He’s not been to a theater in the last decade, eh?
Pandering to phone addicted morons
some of us watch a movie when we are tired of being on our phones
like wtf should we compromise the quality for everybody because some people are scrolling? And if they are scrolling amd not keeping up with the movie, i mean so what, let them do what they want. But why lower the standards because of that?
Imagine if there were a place where you could focus your attention on only the one screen showing the movie. I wonder how cool that would be.
Depressing times that slop media is only becoming more normalized
I’ve been noticing dialogue explaining the plot and I think it’s terrible. It’s like immersion breakingfeeling
Iif I’m on the phone while I’m watching a movie, I take responsibility for not knowing what the fuck is going on. It never occurs to me that the movie should take that burden on.
Network executives are the worst.
They think this is a “problem that they’re getting paid to “solve “.
Because actors whisper all the important exposition.
I thought it was because of shitty soundmixing by pretentious directors. Unless the plot is repeated constantly it’s impossible to understand what anyone is saying.
I dunno make better movies then. Just watched Bugonia and I’m pretty sure my phone was dead I didn’t really give a shit.
