David Lynch isn’t holding back on his thoughts about watching movies on your phone. Speaking about the "distressing" state of feature films, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mulholland Drive director called out 🌺the demise of the theatrical experience.

In a rare interview, ꩲhe told French film magazine that "coronavirus has put a stop" to going to the theater. "Feature films are in a bad place, series have taken their place," he said, per . "You could sit down and actually have the experience of stepping into a whole new world. Now that’s all in the damn history books. It’s distressing."

Lynch was also critical of watching movies on mobile phones. "I always say: people think th🦹ey’ve seen a movie, but if they’ve watched it on a phone, they haven’t seen anything," he continued. "It’s sad." He💧 also pointed out how while TV isn’t bad,  "saying goodbye to movie theatres is the hardest part."

This isn’t the first time that the director has rallied against watching movies on your phone. Speaking in a video included on the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Inland Empire DVD rele🅘ase, he said something very similar. 

"If you're playing the movie on a telephone, you will never in a trillion years experience the film," . "You'll think you have experienced it, but you'll be cheated. It's such a sadness, that y𓂃ou think you've seen a film, on your fucking telephone. Get real."

Lynch isn’t the only director to rally against the trend either, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:M. Nigꦍht Shyamalan told SFX Magazine earlier this year that he wants viewers to watch movies at the cinema. "Let me be super-clear, audiences are dying to come to movie theatres to see great movies," the director said ahead of the release of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Knock At The Cabin.
