      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

      I don't even think the critics are entirely wrong "That was taken out of context" is less and less of a defense of any content in the online era Of *course* clips from the movie will be taken out of context, that's how the fucking Internet works

      "Wrong" in a moral sense, I dunno, that's a huge question above my pay grade It's just a fact that if you make a movie about child sexualization, two things will happen: 1) actual pedophiles will flock to it, 2) pedophile hunters will start a crusade to destroy you

      And I think film critics and film school people are perhaps willfully naive about this "But if you watch the WHOLE movie you get the CONTEXT for why this is BAD" Yeah, but that's not how normal people watch movies and it never has been

      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

          The reason A-list stars are such a thing in the economics of Hollywood is that people really don't care about what's "right for the story" so much as consuming a fantasy

          Critics have remarked many times that as a result "commercial film" and "art film" are completely different jobs, different art forms trying to succeed at different tasks I dunno if I'd go that far, but that's sure as hell why they're sold in different *markets*
