I agree with the glove fit bit, while at the same time thinking that we're at the next level of siloed bubbles. All aspects of your world, tailored to how you already think, including TV series/movies/etc.

No new ideas.

(Not saying this is your intent, and yes I do indeed watch what I like. I am not immune to the very thing I worry about)





Don't get me wrong - I might have poorly communicated my intent.

I want to be catered to and subverted. I want to see things I'm comfortable with and things that make me question everything I know. Things that make me deeply uncomfortable. The full range of experiences.

I just want it to be great and hit the notes in ways that leave me in awe.

This does happen with current media, but it's exceedingly rare. It's a combination of great writing, fantastic direction, unusual stories, phenomenal acting. The mood, set dec and DP, the pacing and editing. Everything lining up in a stroke of brilliance.

And what's funny is that when it happens, people tend to disagree or have differing opinions about it. It's deeply personal.

You know when something speaks to you.


I agree. And I don't think you communicated it poorly, it's just that I think it will be more and more difficult to get that full range. Most folk don't want that. Most even prefer siloed.

Yet perhaps I am too jaded on this. There will be lots of niche content...
