Description: Movie Menu Rants about Netflix Rant: With Adam Sandler making a deal with Netflix, will this change cinema as we know it? Hosted by: Alexander Z, Dan "The Man" Muñoz, and Christopher Velasco. Notes: Many things have been said about Adam Sandler But being a rebel has never been one of them He’s an actor who always plays it safe taking roles that he knows will only appeal to his base Movies like Jack And Jill (...) or Blended Both scoring less than 15% on Rotten tomatoes BUT scoring huge overseas number (i.e. sales) CLIP Ever so often, he’s been known to take risks such as being in Reign Over Me, playing a 9/11 PTSD victim living in NYC Or, one of my all time favorites: PUNCH DRUNK LOVE CLIP So is Adam Sandler a REBEL? Hmmm A boring commodity? ABSOLUTELY A waste of talent? OH YEAH A risk taker? SURE BUT A REBEL? What do you guys consider Sandler? OPEN DIALOGUE As of TWO WEEKS AGO, Sandler has found himself on a short blacklist that I suspect will be growing bigger with time to come EVER SINCE SANDLER made a deal with the ULTIMATE DEVILS of Hollywood: HARVEY WEINSTEIN and… NETFLIX Which is where my rant leads to… The Wolf of the World Wide Web.... NETFLIX BUT, before we start there you need to know three facts that will explain why Sandler is at the center of the controversy FACT 1: Movie studios DO NOT own or operate Movie Theaters 1948: United States v. Paramount Pictures known as the Hollywood Antitrust Case changed Hollywood by removing the monopolistic control that Studios had over Cinemas. Basically, the US government told Hollywood to go fuck itself and STOP touching Cinemas in their no-no place. FACT 2: THEATER OWNERS ARE AFRAID OF PIRACY Since the 1970s: Theater owners attempted to blockade the release of popular technology, such as VHS, DVD, BLURAY, and now… the Internet. FACT 3: INTERNET NEARLY KILLED THE THEATER Sales are down and Theater owners are scared of ILLEGAL STREAMING SITES, TORRENTING, AND NETFLIX. You name it, they’re scared of everything because… Sales are down for movie attendance 2014 WORST YEAR ON RECORD So I’d like to ask you guys, why do you think sales are down? OPEN DIALOGUE There are many theories revolving the loss of revenue, I believe theater owners are assholes and jacking up prices to make up for their lost in revenue. Which is what’s leading to the drop of attendance. Which is the equivalent of: An endless circlejerk that only ends with a dislocated member You’re not gonna attend a fancy theater that ends up costing you $50 for a date night. Don’t believe me? Go to a /quote/ ghetto /unquote/ theater and buy a ticket from there: Tickets drop from $18 to $6 Which is where NETFLIX has making a killing!!! The company was established in 1997 in California renovating the DVD subscription model AND upgrading to digital streaming IN 2009 (...) Which was basically copy and pasting from online piracy sites The only difference between online piracy sites was the speed in which you could watch a film on Netflix… and, of course, the legality of it. So why is Adam Sandler important in all this? Adam Sandler is the top grossing theater celebrity in the US and overseas Hard to believe, I know! But he grosses more money by just showing his stupid pineapple shaped head than most comedians. And he knows this! Makes movies for vacations He’s also #1 on Forbes most overpaid actors Because theaters know that Pineapple head makes money and the studios want it! So the fact that on October 2nd, Ted Sarandos, leader of content creation at Netflix teamed up with Harvey Weinstein THEEE BIGGEST FILM PRODUCER IN HOLLYWOOD to make FOUR Adam Sandler movies… YOU GODDAMN RIGHT THAT MOVIE STUDIOS AND MOVIE THEATERS RECOGNIZED THIS AS A HUUUUUUGE MOVE BECAUSE, Netflix has also promised SAME DAY RELEASES in theaters and streaming. Movie theaters are scared of losing more money and are being forced to work with Netflix because they do not want to cross Weinstein So what could film studios and theater owners do to punish Adam Sandler? WELL, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Warner Bros. has shit canned his next movie, The Ridiculous Six yesterday. Holding all rights and kicking Sandler out of the lot! The Price is Wrong BITCH! So what do you guys think? Is Netflix under attack with this WB/Sandler move? You think Netflix stole fire from the Movie Gods? Do you think Netflix will be the ultimate winner in this battle? //**END … But we’ll have to wait and see… I’m… And that’ll do it for us here at Movie Menu Rants… Rate the rant!
