Spielberg to push for new Oscars rules that exclude streaming movies

I agree with the general critique about Netflix movies. Although it is equally valid for Spielberg films in my opinion.

Today, if I think about Hollywood, I have to think about remakes. You have to force me to watch another Marvel/DC movie, although I think they are generally very well made and I liked some characters as a kid.

Just look at the most successful Hollywood movies of 2018. There is absolutely no depth to be found here at all.

These are movies I can enjoy, but mostly while doing something on the side.

Even deadpool? I'm getting marvel/dc fatigue as well, but damn I can't get enough Deadpool -- fucking hilarious.

As far as depth, I can't think of a Netflix film I really remember as standing out, now Serials --I can name a bunch: The OA, Stranger Things, Haunting of Hill House, etc -- they may not have found a groove yet w/ movies but they sure have w/ original series -- though they did hit a few snags too, their Marvel world sort of fell apart, and some characters were good, some totally were lame (Iron fist esp.).
