Steven Spielberg Says Netflix Films shouldn't Quality for Oscar Noms.

[Ray Jackson]

The irony of this is so thick and putrid I feel like I need to take a shower.

Who is Steven "Captain Blockbuster" Spielberg to talk about what we need to do to bring back the days when studios were willing to finance smaller, indie films? Spielberg, more than any living director, is responsible for shifting the Hollywood paradigm toward extravaganza-style, big-budget popcorn movies.

I'm not even sure I understand exactly what his argument is?

The fact that Netflix might be willing to produce the kind of low-budget, arthouse content that studios are rarely willing to touch is a bad thing?

What exactly is he doing as a director to bring audiences that kind of filmmaking?

...making movies like Ready Player One?

Hey Steve, why don't you tell your partners at DreamWorks that your next picture is going to be a small art film about childhood poverty in Florida?

No...you'd rather make Indiana Jones 5 and a pointless remake of Westside Story?

Then shut the hell up you geriatric hypocrite.
