pro-hbomax movies but literally what genius thought it was a good idea to do this without telling anyone????? https://twitter.com/discussingfilm/status/1336099820864495619
Kinda super confirms the theory that Nolan was *not* the one advocating for TENET’s release when the higher ups are clearly the wackjobs making these moves lmao
Should also note that being pro-HBOMAX during a pandemic is a simpler conversation than if it were a normal year, BUT EVEN THEN
Someone’s getting sued, fired, SOMETHING
and not that Nolan’s 100% innocent or anything (maybe he is idk!) but the idea that he’s somehow to blame for an entire conglomerate’s mismanagement like this is just not reality. Like, come on people.
just wanna say this is all very upsetting because HBOMAX also had the undisputed best library of any streamer, they just utterly failed at rolling it out. Now that’s like their third biggest problem lmao
Sorry to keep adding but it’s worth noting this bigger than whether or not you like one filmmaker’s movies, prefer digital accessibility, or any of that. This fuckup endangers countless levels of artistic production and livelihoods. It’s irresponsible to pin it on an *individual* https://twitter.com/cdwritten/status/1336135512386490370
Feels like some are still missing forest for trees here but Villeneuve is also correct. It is not a decision dictated by viewing experience or “for the fans”, it was a decision that was made to sell a streaming service with no regard to the artists at work https://variety.com/2020/film/news/dune-denis-villeneuve-blasts-warner-bros-1234851270/amp/?__twitter_impression=true
And this is the ultimate point that’s caused many director’s dissension. The MAX deal steamrolled over workers to make shareholders happy. It’s disgusting and people need to at minimum be fired for this decision. https://twitter.com/metaplexmovies/status/1337525600882450432
