Netflix tests varying play speeds – and filmmakers are not happy about it

I don't see the point of the filmmakers. Nobody will criticize them for a bad film if they don't watch the movie in the intended play speed. Or am I wrong?

> Leave them as they were intended to be seen.

This kind of feature is present in many other devices and services, like our DVD/Blu-Ray Players, YouTube, etc

Who the hell cares if someone watches a movie on slow-mo or slightly faster? Netflix is merely offering the option, they're not forcing the audience to do anything and it will definitely not be playing slower or faster by default.

Judd Apatow sounds entitled.

I'm dismayed that none of the filmmakers see this as the accessibility issue it is. Being able to play at slower speeds can help people with various disabilities. I'd liken this to them being against subtitles.

Hang on, haven't broadcast TV channels been doing this for years? Pretty sure all those Saturday reruns are played faster to fit in more ads

I just wish they would fix skipping around in a show or movie, but higher speed playback would make me have to skip less in shows
