You can find the full interview here. Not very long but some interesting titbits on various projects including a new Terminator (he reveals nothing).
Why is 4K dumb?
They used AI upscaling. Not only it completely defeats the point of a release like this, it looks like a blurry mess that's paradoxically also oversharpened. People's faces jump from looking like a mannequin to one of those Ren & Stimpy closeups
Too many Ks. Unless you have a really really huge TV or you sit super close to it, and also have absolutely no vision problems, there's a pretty good chance you're not gonna tell the difference between 1080p and 4k.
Optimum viewing distance, optimum viewing angle—these are defined things. In my experience, most people are clueless about how to properly set up a TV. So yes, I expect if a TV isn't set up correctly, the difference between 1080p and 4K wouldn't be as noticeable. Transfer quality and TV quality also matter.
So your saying it doesn't matter for normal people
Not sure what point you're trying to make. 4K shouldn't be an option because you don't care about it? Most people aren't the target audience for 4K or even Blu-ray. You're always free to stick with streaming movies and driving a Camry, normal people do and it works for them.
