If Spielberg can ban annoying assholes who talk in theaters I’ll then return, until then, I’ll take my couch and 75” TV thanks

Waaaaahhhhh Netflix is better than me now waaaaaahhhhh

Steve Spielberg needs to get a clue!People who create art can share their creation on ANY media they choose.And the academy should still recognize it.Just because it doesn't go through Hollywood normal channels, doesn't make it any less artisitic and quality.

Get with the times old man

Limited thaetrical release, straight to 'streaming' (tv), sounds like Netflix is doing a sneaky technical run at the Oscars, gotta agree with Steven. There's always the Emmys

It’s the same battle: taxi x Uber; hotels x Airbnb. Times changed . Netflix is the future of movies.

Or...lost income for Stephen?

Spielberg is a Pedophile

No it isn’t. Netflix already won. This is just a story about another old guy doing the “back in my day” rant
