Quentin Tarantino Blasts Streaming Services: ‘They Almost Don’t Exist’

Driven by the pandemic Covid-19, streaming services have gained a lot of strength in recent years and have become more prominent than movie theaters. Now, the iconic director Quentin Tarantino detonated these digital platforms – and as films made for this medium do not exist in the zeitgeistGerman term meaning spirit of the age or sign of the times.

During an interview with deadlinethe filmmaker also spoke about his retirement from cinemas, which should happen after the release of the next film, entitled The Movie Critic. “I like the idea of ​​giving it my all for 30 years and then saying, ‘Okay, that’s enough.’ And I don’t like working with diminishing returns.”

And I mean, now is a good time because, I mean, what’s even a movie? It’s just something they show on apple? That would be diminishing returns.

“I mean, and I’m not picking on anyone, but apparently for the Netflix, Ryan Reynolds made $50 million on this movie and $50 million on that one and $50 million on the next one for them,” continued Quentin Tarantino. “I don’t know what these movies are. I’ve never seen them. Have you?”

Right away, Tarantino revealed how, probably, The Movie Critic will have production of sony picturesbecause the studio is the “last studio in the industry that is absolutely, totally committed to the theatrical experience.”

It’s not about powering your streaming network. They are committed to the theatrical experience. They judge success by the asses in the seats. And they judge success by the movies that make it into the zeitgeist, not just making a big, expensive movie and then putting it on your streaming platform. Nobody even knows it’s there.
