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

...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

That's why Scorsese said all that shit about how unhappy he was at having to compromise and release The Irishman streaming rather than in theaters, and implored his audience to watch his movie "as intended" by watching it straight through on a big screen, not on your phone
