They’re on the opposite aspect of that now, which is sweet. “
He went on so as to add, “The sacrifice-everything-for-streaming craze killed many good issues by forcing a requirement for “content material” that could not presumably be met, placing films on TV earlier than that they had a correct theatrical run & rather more. The madness has died down & balanced out all over the place. Thank God.“
