Quentin Tarantino Urges People to Go to Theaters To Watch New Film Releases
Due to COVID-19, movie theaters have been struggling to get back to normal with many closing in the past year and being unable to maintain a steady flow for weekly film releases. As cinemas became a less frequent stop for movie lovers, cinephiles turned to streaming platforms to rediscover vintage classics or new releases. While audiences have been able to return to the theaters to watch releases on the big screen, they are still facing hardship to get back to pre-pandemic numbers. In a recent interview on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, critically acclaimed director Quentin Tarantino made his case for movie theaters, hoping to persuade fans to support the cinema. Tarantino could be heard saying, “TV is good…but it’s also a disposable experience. There is an aspect about it being dispo...

He’s like, ‘I don’t know what to do...
