Quentin Tarantino: Hollywood Film Business Has Been Dead for Years: 2019 Was the ‘Last F**king Year of Movies’
“Well, what the fuck is a movie now? What — something that plays in theaters for a token release for four fucking weeks?” Tarantino said. “All right, and by the second week you can watch it on television. I didn’t get into all this for diminishing returns. I mean, it was bad enough in ’97. It was bad enough in 2019, and that was the last fucking year of movies. That was a shit deal, as far as I was concerned, the fact that it’s gotten drastically worse? And it’s a show-pony exercise. Now the theatrical release, you know, and then like yeah, in two weeks, you can watch it on this [streamer] and that one. OK. Theater? You can’t do that. It’s the final frontier.”
