James Cameron Watches Movies Standing Up, Apparently
’s success as a repudiation of streaming and a re-embrace of theatrical releases:e’re going back to theaters around the world. They’re even going back to theaters in China where they’re having this big covid surge. We’re saying as a society, ‘We need this! We need to go to theaters.’ Enough with the streaming already! I’m tired of sitting on my ass.”
First of all, it seems James Cameron does not actually know how to watch a theatrical release, because people tend to sit down to watch movies wherever they areis the sequel to literally the highest-grossing movie of all time, and it’s currently only available to see in theaters. Ofit’s doing well, but there’s no way to know how many people would have elected to stay home to watch it if that option had been available.
had been made available on, say, HBO Max the same day it premiered in theaters, most people would still have left their homes to see it. Why? Well, 95 percent of the draw of themovies is their visual spectacle, which can be best experienced in theaters—but more importantly, that visual spectacle is best enjoyed in 3D, which, again, is only available outside the home, unless you’re one of the 29 people who bought 3D TVs back in 2011 or so.
Either way, maybe a world where big-time movies get released in theaters and/or home streaming services is okay, and we don’t need to judge people for preferring one or keep predicting the death of one at the other’s hands. But wejudge Cameron for saying a weird gaffe that made it sound like he doesn’t know people watch movies sitting down.All you need to do is sign up with your email and boom: credit for your preorder on a new Samsung device.
