  I get that. I really do. But would it kill Netflix to pay for a few short, limited theatrical releases? Seems more like a contest of who can be more stubborn. Edit: Nevermind, read the comments below. Theatrical showings is not the problem but the ridiculous limits French law places on streaming theatrical releases.

  > Good cinema is good cinema no matter the release medium. So should computer games be allowed? Books? If it can't be viewed in a cinema, I'm not sure how you can think it must be allowed to be called cinema. And no cheating, a limited release is cheating, let's not be children and pretend it's not. I see nothing wrong with their logic. Going to the cinema is a experience, I can't see how you can argue it's not? If Netfix is not part of that experience (Which it definitely isn't) I can't see how artists who see value in the cinema experience are deplorable? Come on, we are using tech to cut out our friends through Facebook etc as it is, do you really think it's deplorable to lightly fight people sitting at home watching TV rather than joining friends in a experience out of the house?

  Film art, good or bad, has no place at a sales event if it's already sold. It simply isn't a quality statement. It would be like a wholly owned alphabet subsidiary that doesn't need or take any investors trying to get into ycombinator, or like an NFL team crying foul for not being allowed to compete in the NCAA.
