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.

europoooooor

"before anyone cared about f1" 

Ahhhmmm the /europoooooor 's would like to have a word ;-)

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)

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 $$).

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

recommend the Brad Pitt episode on Armchair Expert talking about how the F1 movie was made, pretty wild

Yeah zero to hero really fast for the same studio that brought us planet of the apps 😂

Agreed.

And whoa - what took you to Laguna Seca? sounds fun.
