Man, I feel like I actually didn't accomplish much today, personal project wise at least.
Think it's getting to me more than I thought or like.

Somedays are like that, hell even some weeks. Sometimes I get a LOT done, other times not so much. Don't know how well to help someone when they wanted to be more productive, cause again, I still deal with that some days.
I guess I got quite a bit to say myself.
Mediums evolve and change overtime, for both better and worse. For one, can you really expect people to risk their health just to go to a big screen? I mean, there's no doubt certain films work better in such a way. I remember seeing Spider-Man 1 for the first time in theaters same with Spider-Verse. Hell, for the suits, they just want returns on their product. But ultimately, films can function even on a phone or plane ride now.
But, how many smaller scale films will finally get their time in the sun since competing with larger films, is probably more fair now, thanks to streaming? They don't have to worry about only being in theaters for 4 weeks in a third of the locations as a blockbuster or pixar film. Same with Foreign films.
Just look at how TV had to evolve with its pacing thanks to streaming, again for better or worse, or how the pacing of American comics have changed.
But I get some of the complaints, if only because I think the advantages of one media shouldn't be taken away to consolidate all media into a slurry. But movies have to worry about this the least. TV keeps getting compared to it and is expected to play catch-up. Games keep trying to imitate it, for better or worse. Books and Graphic Novels keep getting adaptations from film in hopes of reaching more eyes. Hell, music's variety in the mainstream has suffered a hell of a lot more than Movies ever did if you ask me, at least in the US, I can't speak on other nations **** much. Unless you went underground.
