ChipButty Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) NETFLIX’S GAFFE Despite the film existing for some time, it wasn’t until August that people really became aware of it. In August, Netflix tweeted a teaser for the movie’s release date that came with a new poster. Designed by Netflix’s team, the new poster seemed to present a different type of movie than the one Doucouré made. The original French poster framed the main cast of girls as that — young girls, walking through the streets of Paris, waving around shopping bags and having fun. Netflix’s now-deleted poster positioned the girls as older characters, similar to posters for other dance movies like Step Up. Here’s a side-by-side comparison. https://www.theverge.com/2020/9/11/21431174/cancel-netflix-cuties-movie-maimouna-doucoure-backlash-petition Edited September 14, 2020 by ChipButty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phetphet Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Not hardly watched Netflix for weeks now. The picture quality has really deteriorated. Very blocky image. Not sure if they are reducing bandwidth. My other streaming options, Apple TV, IPTV, KODI don't seem to have the same problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use TVMucho which has recently changed from a catchup/Live service to a record/watch later service which is no good to me. Now I need to remember to set recording for UK Channel 4 highlights. Never giving up Netflix it's the only escape from Thai soaps and game shows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neeranam Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 No, I get 100% subscription back for using my new crypto.com debit card, along with 3% cashback on all other things, including bill payments, car purchase etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orton Rd Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) I watched it, ironically it is Islam which sexualises children far more than any film like cuties which is having a go at corrupt and degrading western values, as the creator of the film wants to depict. Islamic scripture give permission to marry pre pubescent girls and the waiting period after a divorce for marrying children. The girls in the film would have been too old for the Prophet. The Idda is the waiting period after divorce before you can marry a girl before puberty. Of course the apologists have their ready made excuses for this practice, which we call pedopillia these days. Quote from the Hadith of Bukari, the most respected one. Edited September 14, 2020 by Orton Rd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, but they saved Lucifer. I find that for shows that are also on TV, they lag behind TV about a year i.e. that final season may appear subsequently on Netflix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fusion58 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I find myself spending far more time on Amazon Prime Video than Netflix these days. Exponentially better (and deeper) selection of movies and TV shows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Hna Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Netflix keeps the Mrs happy and the boy but I'm over it. The format no longer appeals to me. Wait 8 months to a year for new content or continuation content and binge it. Prefer reading but like to listen to a film whilst working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
