That's every generation. Aristotle complained about it.

This is something different than that. Younger people today don't consume content from the past the same as previous generations. There's too much contemporary content. They don't watch old TV shows or movies. Those that read don't read old novels and the classics.

lt makes even the recent past a more foreign place. It's all just the past. Which then makes them more susceptible to getting the activist mindset that everything in the past was bad. Everyone in the past was bad.

That’s your opinion. It doesn’t describe any of the young people I know, but I guess it’s easier to believe they reject certain aspects of the past because they are ignorant rather than making an intelligent choice.

That’s a good point. I grew up in the 80s (and 90s) and consumed more content from the past during the 80s than contemporary content and about 60/40 Contemporary in the 90s. Back then you had more old content than new. It wasn’t being pumped out as fast. Does any station play I Love Lucy, Giligans Island and Sanford n Son anymore?

Antenna TV. It's a national station owned by Byron Allen who just bid $10 Billion for ABC.

In your local LA market, you can find it on your HD dial at channel 5.2, beamed from the top of Mount Wilson.

I watch the San Diego affiliate all the time for the Jack Benny Program, and Burns & Allen.

And sometimes I tune in Antenna TV to watch Benson. 45 years ago, I had a secret Lesbian crush on Miss Kraus. :oops:

The Office, Friends, and Suits (!?) are often the most streamed and watched shows.

I think it will get a theatrical release… promoting as a film written By Greta Gerwig the co- writer and director of Barbie will be too tempting

Even if it were to bomb, feels like releasing to theaters is better than not. Any money they make would be bonus and it can still end up on D+ eventually for more content there. They don't have to do a big/expensive advertising campaign if they don't want to keep those costs down.

I think there is a potential case to be made that Disney has had enough misses in a row right now that their reputation is suffering, meaning people on the fence might stay away just because of how the last few have gone. I think trying to not perpetuate that reputation is a reason they could seriously consider not releasing it to theaters. But, to counter my own argument, another big issue Disney has is they have changed the consumer. People now expect to be able to watch for "Free" on D+ around 3-4 months after opening. Releasing direct to D+ isn't helping that reputation either. I don't envy the people who's jobs are to make these decisions.

I'd say one exception to that is video games. Classic games haven't been this popular since the 16bit era.

From the film that's finished with principal photography?

Ok.

Will that announcement be made along side Kathleen Kennedy's firing?

Speaking of Kennedy, Disney did allow the majority of 2 movies to be almost completely reshot. Not just a few scenes, they basically made the movies twice. So it wouldn't really be unheard of. So I could see them do a major overhaul, or go directly to D+. Neither would surprise me. If I had to bet though, they aren't going to do anything. At this point, anything will be viewed as a negative from either side, so why bother.
