Well, no shyt. Doesn’t mean all business is GOOD business

Especially when you go over budget and it's doubtful you will recoup @ the box office.
There's nothing bad or immoral about comic book movies. And movie tastes are subjective.

The issue I have with this is that not every movie is trying to do the same thing.

Marvel movies aren't trying to be complex. They're action superhero movies.

It’s what the masses want to see & I have no problem with people liking superhero movies and don’t want to come off as a movie snob. But they are completely beating a dead horse with the amount of reboots & sequels that they release & spin offs.

Marty can say whatever the fukk he wants.

Taxi Driver is one of the greatest films ever directed.

Marvel movies suck. Basically killed Hollywood because it’s basically the only shyt studios want to push and release. Big blockbuster super hero movies one after the motherfukkin ‘nother.

These movies are entertaining but I don't think of them the same way I think of a classic movie. Just like the Fast and Furious films are entertaining but not to be compared to great movies. Outside of Sam Jackson, Robert Downey Jr, Josh Brolin and Tom Hiddleston the rest of the cast is basically just serviceable. Benjamin Cumberbatch shows potential in his role too.

Breh..... it’s not Marvel or any other big blockbuster movies fault no one trynna go on a date and pay $72 for Nomadland type movies




If anything, Blockbusters somewhat justified the crazy prices of these tickets, drinks and food

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Did Scorsese ever even say which movies he didn't like other than in generic "blockbuster" terms ?

Why are people sheepishly stanning and coming at him ? Lol

Algorithms, by definition, are based on calculations that treat the viewer as a consumer and nothing else.

That part and it's the most important part. Films like Goodfella got made because Marty wanted to do it, not because a studio asked him to because it was on the schedule for next year. Directors want to make a movies they want to, not to fill up a catalogue that may or may not get buried by a bunch of other movies or TV shows considered "content".

The funniest part about this recent take is that he could be talking about anything else, not even superhero movies, literally the last decade of movies but Marvel fans automatically think he's talking about "their" movies.

At the same time a film studio thought a movie like Goodfellas would make a profit with a modest budget so they green lit it. It's not some indie movie he made on his own. lol
He mentioned Marvel movies specifically in the past that's where that energy is coming from. It's not out of the blue.

He commented directly about Marvel because he was asked.

“I tried, you know?” the director said when asked if he had seen Marvel’s movies. “But that’s not cinema.”

He continued: “Honestly, the closest I can think of them, as well made as they are, with actors doing the best they can under the circumstances, is theme parks. It isn’t the cinema of human beings trying to convey emotional, psychological experiences to another human being.”

Your reading comprehension is low. lol
