“But if anyone tries to tell me any of my modest movies aren’t ACTUALLY
movies they can kindly go stab themselves in the face several times and
set themselves on fire.” ??? So much for folks having an opinion other than his
Now that is a real Mature attitude. I bet investors will just be flocking to him. Sure …He might have done some stabbing of his own self here.

I see Jeremy’s still in a good mood after his experience getting fired from True Detective 3.0…

Spielberg is wrong. A “tv movie” has commercial breaks woven into the narrative structure. Those breaks impact the way the story is told. A theatrical movie has a completely different narrative architecture.

Rather than using point of first exhibition as a test of what qualifies as a “real” movie, why not try this: if a film can be played in a theater, and that experience would be narratively, structurally, experientially indistinguishable from a movie created for theaters, then it’s a “movie”.

Alternatively, we could have Spielberg watch a mix of film festival projects and Netflix movies in a theater and tell us which is which.

It’s not that complicated, people. A movie is a narrative format. It doesn’t matter whether it is recorded on film or digital and it doesn’t matter whether it is exhibited in theaters, on tv, or over the internet.

In reply to cirkusfolk.

You did not read it correctly.

He said “But if anyone tries to tell me any of my modest movies aren’t ACTUALLY movies they can kindly go stab themselves in the face several times and set themselves on fire.”

He never says that the “tv movies” classification would “offend” him.

You can’t objectively say Neftlix movies are not proper movies. That said, IMO, Netflix output is reinforcing the perception that the quality of Netflix films equate to TV movies. I’m rooting for Netflix, but have been disappointed so many times. Maybe there really is a magic business/creative mix that the big six studios have learned w their decades of experience that Netflix hasn’t grasped yet

His last two movies, both repugnant, made me wonder if this guy was not
only a worthless “artiste” but also an asshole. Now I know.

Did I read this correctly that he says he’s going to stay out of the debate and whether it’s Emmy or Oscar he’s “not concerned.” But then he immediately says if you call his films “TV movies” he will be offended?
