This is a really good and disconcerting @aoscott and @ManohlaDargis dialogue on the post-pandemic future of movies. nytimes.com/2020/12/30/mov…
"The industry has always found a way of circumventing calamity. The threat posed by streaming is on another order of magnitude: the internet changed everything, including how people watch entertainment. The rest is history, and another couple of gazillion bucks for Jeff Bezos."
This is key, following from @aoscott Q, "What about the small and midsize movies that depend on the theatrical system to find their audiences?" 
.@ManohlaDargis: "What's concerning are movies that can’t be looked at while we check our texts: avant-garde cinema, tough & long documentaries, serious dramas, foreign-language films, anything that requires attention, patience, time. I’m worried about what isn’t easy-watching."
