Not me. The independent guys are searching under couch cushions trying to scrape up the cash to make good small movies on a shoestring. I’m not going to steal their product.

The streamers are happy to kill theatrical exhibition because their business is selling subscriptions and data harvesting. I’d sooner find a way to kill the streamers and buy a ticket directly from the filmmakers, although the studio has to have a cut as well.

The streamers sell convenience but they’re killing quality and independent perspectives.

Movies are just time fill-ins for me - they could all go away today at no loss to me. Books are different.
