Netflix is letting directors retroactively edit shows. The future (past) is ephemera
I think I’m going to have more to say about this at some point in an MMC or some shit, but this is very, very interesting to me. Netflix is letting directors go back and retroactively shows now. Shows as blog posts. Shows as Instagram posts. This sort of shit was first noted when Kanye was actively patching and changing…some album I’m too lazy to look up. But now the practice is going even more mainstream with it happening with Stranger Things, and I find it equal parts interesting and haunting.

Netflix acquires Will Smith action movie from ‘John Wick’ and ‘Atomic Blonde’ director and I guess I care!

Lame ass ‘Game of Thrones’ showrunners sign 9-figure deal with Netflix. Fuck these nerds, man
One of the more gratifying things about the final season of Game of Thrones was (pretty much) everyone realizing what I already knew: the showrunners were fucking idiots. That said? Apparently Netflix still hasn’t realize it. Signing these chumps to an insane deal.
