Me too. Which is weird because I don't remember it doing anything offensive and I do remember being intrigued by some familiar faces. It just felt weird.

netflix has definitely evolved to fill in the culture gap between tv (which is basically dead as an entertainment vehicle imo, other than a couple decent cable channels and pay channels), and movies , which even when worth seeing are expensive as hell. But I'm thinking more about why did horror flicks, action flicks, escapism in general become the mian seller in hollywood? a movie like ordinary people wouldn't last a week in a movie theater now.
I don't have a point really

You're forgetting live sports. An extremely important, and still very relevant, tent pole of TV.

That's true however, i think sports are escapism too, no?

I would say entertainment and community more than escapism. Sports bring people together, whether to cheer or to argue.

Sports are typically how civilized society play out mock battles and avoid real ones too, which is whyi lean towards escapism, but agree they can be community building exercises also.

I haven't seen a lot of the other food/chef movies mentioned in that conversation a page or two ago, but The Founder seems destined to be near the top of any list of F&B films that "get it right." That scene on the tennis court almost felt like watching porn to me. Porn for people with a sick sick fetish for efficient, slick, industrial kitchens.

I read this post after writing what I said about that scene being porn. I don't care what the rest of the board says about ya, Trag. You're true blue. Service industry bros for life.
