LOVED the /f1 movie

Thoughts:
- IMAX was worth it
- epic in cockpit footage 
- captured the excitement of races
- sensationalized for the big screen at times
- fun underdog story line
- odes to exciting race moments from recent seasons

Apple Studios confirmed its spot as an S-tier producer. after severance, lessons in chemistry, ted lasso, CODA, etc., they deliver this movie.

kinda crazy bc years ago i met the "drive to survive" producers at laguna seca well before anyone cared about f1 and they said they hoped their show would change that. it did.

I think a lot of this has to do with the fact that the two Sony execs they brought over came with all the lessons + a blank slate + big budget + big distribution

agree, and I'm glad it worked out for them. 

seems like Netflix constantly pushes out an insane amount of content (of varying levels of quality), whereas Apple is a bit more thoughtful about its content (even though Apple TV+ is hemorrhaging $$).

Netflix just loves playing the scale / Walmart game. Feels on-brand for a company founded by business guys, not artist or filmmakers. 

Apple at least understands that a loss-leader still needs to honor the artistry, I just wish they were willing to push the envelope, since they do have that blank slate (not messy like the water Paramount & Warner Discovery are in, or confused like Disney & Universal)
