i'm sure ass cancer is upon him.
Sensitive Christian Grey
The Fisher King
Streaming and television took away from the high premium drama more than CBMs ever did but I don’t hear him complaining about Netflix tho 
Youngblood Priest
Atl baby
Super hero movies would be cool if they stop making the same shyt over. Hell I hate batman but I'd love to see a batman vs Predator. Something out of the realm. The comic book was great, a movie would be stupid.

Oppenheimer was cinema and I expected the same for Killers of the Flower Moon

Many filmmakers feel the way he does regardless of age. A lot of movies couldn't get made or got pushed to streaming services because studios and investors wanted to chase the superhero money train.
Of course the comic book nerds get triggered

In a sprawling new profile with GQ, director Martin Scorsesediscussed comic book and franchise culture, a topic which he has spoken out about at length in the past.
When asked about those blockbusters, Scorsese said that their omnipresence could be negative to audiences who aren’t well-versed in other types of film.
“The danger there is what it’s doing to our culture,” he said. “Because there are going to be generations now that think movies are only those — that’s what movies are.”
When the interviewer posited that audiences might already believe that, Scorsese agreed.
“They already think that,” he said. “Which means that we have to then fight back stronger. And it’s got to come from the grassroots level. It’s gotta come from the filmmakers themselves. And you’ll have, you know, the Safdie brothers, and you’ll have Chris Nolan, you know what I mean? And hit ’em from all sides. Hit ’em from all sides, and don’t give up. Let’s see what you got. Go out there and do it. Go reinvent. Don’t complain about it. But it’s true, because we’ve got to save cinema.”
The director also spoke about the streaming-era definition of content, as opposed to actual cinema.
“I do think that the manufactured content isn’t really cinema,” he said, adding, “It’s almost like AI making a film. And that doesn’t mean that you don’t have incredible directors and special effects people doing beautiful artwork. But what does it mean? What do these films, what will it give you? Aside from a kind of consummation of something and then eliminating it from your mind, your whole body, you know? So what is it giving you?”
Scorsese’s next film, “Killers of the Flower Moon,” will be released in theaters on Oct. 20.
