I dunno, this film looks like it shoulda dropped years ago (i.e in either the 80s or 90s), which is a shame since Jean-Claude's best films of the past several years have been the ones he's made in France: JCVD and The Bouncer...

What did you think of the final season without Norman?
I went into it all pissy, and came out less grumbly than expected.

I like just about everything that Alan Arkin does. Having said that the writers did a great job with Norman’s story line right up until the last scene

This is what I was getting at. Hosting your own in-house streaming service costs money. Right now everyone is betting that they'll attract enough subscribers that subscriber revenue minus hosting costs will be more profitable than collecting licensing fees from Netflix, et al., which is basically passive income with no associated costs. You have to figure that for some of these new in-house streaming services that bet isn't going to pay off and they will prove to be less profitable than licensing.

Yup! It's one of those businesses where a company has to grow for the sake of growth or it's going to die.
Remember Quibi? Yeah, neither does anybody else. 1.75 BILLION dollars blown in like 6 months on that one. Expensive business to play in. There are other failed streaming services, but nothing quite as colossal the shitshow that Quibi was.

Quibi was also an inherently riskier endeavor since it was non-traditional content. This list of big time studios and investment groups that got burned on that one is quite impressive, though.

The beauty of being a rich douchebag like Jeffrey Katzenberg is their unique ability to sucker a bunch of other rich douchebags into giving them piles of cash for terrible ideas, and getting to light all those piles of cash on fire and still walk away from the flaming wreckage a billionaire. I wish WE could crater a business and still walk away rich. Ah, to be an elite scumbag... So not fair. Haha.

I think the story line was weak. But MD did some of his best work ever and carried the show to the finish.

Continuing with the thread drift:
1. Roku Channel picked up the Quibi catalog
2. After watching two of the shows--The Most Dangerous Game and Die Hart--it seems to me that Quibi failed because the content was mediocre, at best. Sure, they had recognizable talent, but the storylines and dialogue were meh. I did like the 6-minute episode format, but again, the two shows I watched weren't even remotely original in terms of ideas and execution.

I think it’s still worth watching it the whole way. You’ll appreciate him that much more. There’s another spinoff about Jesse as well. We enjoyed that, too.
