Media cartels

If you haven't seen Netflix's "Bright" with Will Smith or "The Week Of" with Chris Rock and Adam Sandler and many other SNL stard you must. They are the best movies you will see in terms of action for "Bright" and  "Comedy" for "The week of."

I almost had a heart attack watching the situational comdedy of Sandler and Rock put together. It was like the office on steroids adding 10 years of pent up political incorect ethnic humor that is usually filtered through a stand uo comedian talking, but instead you are in the moment. I was more than rolling on the floor. I was in fetal position running parrallel to the floor in circles, eyes vlised and ears covered shouting, " No no no!" But still unable to stop watching.

Grace said they should have released it in the theaters. One could argue the same if bright. And for not releasing it in the theaters, as Amazon's "Manchester by the Sea" was, these direct to Netflix feature films (not series like "Stranger Things") with real blockbuster actors and real scripts and directors were attcked by rotten tomatoes and "real" movie critics abd the "real" movie industry like a shark out of water thrashing on land or on deck, attacking whatever it can knowing it will die and taking whatever it can with it.

Like Spielberg bitching at the Oscars.

Like monkeys bitching about this new primate that learned to control fire.

And its because they are threatened. Especially with #metoo effecting established media mire than up and coming organizations who may have the sane accusations, but are more capable of quickly rebranding themselves.
