In hindsight it kinda seems like putting Cuties on Netflix at all was objectively a mistake, and the people blaming Netflix's marketing department are probably wrong -- "better marketing" for the movie would've just been kicking the can down the road, this backlash was inevitable

Orson Welles talked about this, that the whole nature of a movie is that you REALLY GET TO SEE THE THING The people who want film to be a narrative medium like print are in denial about this, that most people don't approach cinema to hear a story but as tourists, to see a thing

You don't watch The Fast and the Furious to absorb a story or a moral lesson about fast cars, you just want to SEE the cars The specific story of a given romcom is less important than seeing two famous stars I and my date have crushes on do romance in front of us

...Are you saying most people don't watch a whole movie? They only watch part of a movie, and then just... Stop?

They don't PAY ATTENTION the way people ideally wish they would, they sit there waiting for the "good parts" I think this is true even for movies you watch in a darkened theater as a big event, but it's obviously many times more true for stuff you watch at home streaming
