Matt Damon's swipe at streaming reveals how cinema has been reshaped by distraction - and why films explain themselves again and again

Split screen Has Netflix killed our attention?

Matt Damon has a new film out, a $100m cop thriller costarring Ben Affleck called The Rip. It was last week's most watched film on Netflix, because it is a Netflix movie. So how is Damon choosing to promote his new Netflix movie? By kind of laying into Netflix.

During an interview on The Joe Rogan Experience, Damon went to great lengths to describe the differences between going to see a film theatrically and watching it on television. Explaining his experience of watching One Battle After Another in an Imax screening, Damon said: "I always say it's more like going to church - you show up at an appointed time. It doesn't wait for you."
