Is Apple TV even that profitable? I never hear people talk about it and I doubt it's a driving force in people staying or moving over to apple. It just seems to be there. Obviously Itunes has its place but that's because its existed before streaming services were a thing but it never took off on other hardware companies. Spotify has taken the crown in that department. I'm sure it's a more popular app on the iPhone compared to iTunes.

Seeing all the financial info on streaming services it seems like Sony made the right move.

I don't like anyone is clamoring it rival Apple in the streaming department.

I think the success of films like 80 for Brady and The Lost City proves this is a completely wrong line of logic.

Just because the studios have convinced themselves it's true, doesn't mean it is.

People only go see spectacle movies in theaters because there aren't many choices to be made on that front anymore.

For sure the ride is worth it, great actors and performances paired with witty writing and a great gothic setting.

Glass Onion is a sequel but it’s completely unrelated to Knives Out, the only thing that carries over is the detective character but they don’t reference the first movie at all from what I remember.

Both are well worth watching and just a fun time!

Surely everyone likes "good" movies, it's just highly subjective what that means. I agree that Signs is similar in that it doesn't explain a ton about the alien. But it's also way more obsessed with telling a story clearly than breaking from film conventions and focusing more on the allegory. I think Us did this too, but imo Nope was more successful in how it did it.

What i'm trying to get at is, and i'm just curious, are there any movies you like that don't explain their plot entirely? Neon Genesis? Tree of Life? Even Perfect Blue gets pretty out there.
