Mike Leigh stumbles upon the Netflix paradox here— which is also a smoking gun about their whole operation. Netflix is happy to grossly overpay (money laundering) for certain movies, but will not give a fair amount to a filmmaker who has made great movies for the last 50 years
Netflix is not in the 'entertainment business' in any real sense. They are in the MONEY SPENDING business—and all the evil that comes with that. They are perpetually, intentionally in debt to the tune of 8 billion a year. They are a giant red flag.

Much like how Amazon quietly ended Made-on-Demand discs, they no longer allow what they call 'unsolicited' films/TV to be free to prime subscribers on Prime Video. This means that if you want to watch the best actually independent releases, you will need to pay a few bucks.
I owe so much of my fanbase to my films being able to break through on Amazon Prime Video, reaching people browsing for free movies to watch on there. When it's paid, it doesn't even get the same exposure—you have to dig for the movies, they sometimes dont even come on on search.
This is yet another example of a sliver of a golden era, gone before anyone could realize how great it was. Those that struck while the iron was hot know. Those that never did are too late. I encouraged people to release on there. No one listened

its an inordinately dangerous thing when the people in control of your life believe that suffering is virtuous
notice how every fucking thing they take away from you lately is 'bad for the environment anyway'

they are using their green cult bullshit to erode every facet of life that makes life worth living

covid is just the tip of the iceberg, the trojan horse, etc
the goal is not a safe planet but a planet where they are safe from the people—populism is their enemy, and eroding all of popular life is their way to eradicate it or any future populist uprisings

dudes will be all secretive about their 'big movie idea' and then after you pass like 50 security doors of friendship they finally tell you and it's like 'what if bad guy is like fauci'
the virgin 'i gotta keep my ideas to myself' vs the chad 'cody clarke just gave away 100 free horror movie ideas on twitter'
OMG also the worst ever is when someone tells you their 'big idea' and its just adapting some existing property they dont have the rights to and have no way of getting. like their idea is just 'thing exists that i like—maybe someone gives me that?'

there's more than enough art of a given type at any given time to support a mainstream culture comprised entirely of it. a billionaire could convince you we were living in a golden age of rap, rock, jazz, dance, pop, whatever. you are purposely kept from knowing whats out there
when people say 'there's no good rock bands now' what they mean is 'there's no good rock bands being force fed into me right now'. we are being deprived out of spite—the evil music industry is still angry with consumers and artists
the intention is to make all good (and uncontrolled) art be trees falling down in the woods with no one around to hear them. the intention is to kill nirvana before nirvana can even become nirvana. 'rock bands were a mistake' - the industry, basically

for a lot of people covid isnt covid—its mortality. it's not so much a war on covid as it is a war on mortality. this lines up perfectly with the futurist dystopian shit we all know the elites are heading us towards. can't 'die' if you're digital
of course this is all a canard. we see shit disappear digitally left and right all the time. one click and it, or you, is gone. they don't want to create immortality, they want to create god and cast themselves as the lord
'immortality for me and not for thee' pretty much. the ultimate wealth, the ultimate riches. they get to press the button to determine who and what is allowed to live forever. that's the paradigm this is all headed towards—they talk about and research it extensively

What I think is confusing people about DONDA, leading to mixed reviews, is that it's a fucking tome. There's no other way to slice it—it's impossible to slice through this thing entirely overnight. If it ever comes out on CD, the case should weigh as much as an 800-page hardcover
I honestly think the ultimate thesis of DONDA—a complex, long work—could be his recognition that the death of his mother, and love for his mother, looms over every possible thought/opinion he could ever have about anything. That love guides his principles more than religion even
I knew DONDA would make me cry the moment I saw that there would be a song titled 'No Child Left Behind'. I saw exactly what he was doing, taking that Bush-era buzzword-y failed program and reapplying the words to losing your mother. As someone whose mom has passed, I felt it.
