Ha, poor beatdown MCU employees. Must be tough having someone not like what you sell.

Marty can think whatever he wants. Just make mob movies please, I'm not interested in his analysis of other films.
Pity they didn't listen to the notes then. That thing is boring.Quoting Irish (view post)

Also I havent seen this take, but isnt kind of a bad look to be criticizing other films when you're sorta in the process of promoting your (mostly) DTV film?
"What do you think of the MCU?" is the gotcha question for anyone in the industry over 40.
(Cf: Ethan Hawke stirring up shit months ago when asked, more or less, the same question, and giving a similarly reasonable answer.)
Well, he did sign on to produce Joker.Quoting Skitch (view post)
Just because...
The Fabelmans (Steven Spielberg, 2022) mild
Petite maman (CĂ©line Sciamma, 2021) mild
The Banshees of Inisherin (Martin McDonagh, 2022) mild
The last book I read was...
The Complete Short Stories by Mark Twain
The (New) World
Next week: the 300 word follow up when someone from the trades asks Scorsese if he knows about the "blowback," reprinted across 500 comic book movie sites.
I don't care what Marty said. It's his opinion, he has a right to it, I like comic book movies, yey for obvious click bait that everyone fell for, excuse me I'm too busy viewing horror movies this month.

For years guys like Derrickson and Cargill have had shills and fanboys blowing smoke about Marvel films, and here comes somebody with an impeccable professional pedigree who basically says, nope, you're all just a buncha popcorn salesmen.
(Personally, I've been cackling like a lunatic all afternoon.)
Did it play in a cinema?Quoting Wryan (view post)
I dont care about any of this.
The thing is, I don’t see what Scorsese said as being necessarily a “these movies are bad” statement.
He’s just saying it’s not what he’s into, no?
He specifically said "that's not cinema," which is probably what most people are going nuts over.
The severed arm perfectly acquitted itself, because of the simplicity of its wishes and its total lack of doubt.
Not one bit.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
I take it that way, but even if it's not that at all and hes completely blasting MCU...I still would care as much about his opinion as I would Uwe Boll.Quoting megladon8 (view post)
Also "that's a theme park ride."Quoting Milky Joe (view post)
Eh, nah, I actually care a lot what Scorsese has to say about any movie. But him equating MCU films with roller coaster rides is a perfect comparison and doesn't bother me at all. He also says they are well made and that the actors all do a tremendous effort emoting in front of tennis balls and green screens.Quoting Skitch (view post)
Honestly, what's there to get upset about? I get that James Gunn is sad because he's the closest thing to an auteur currently working in the MCU, but... come on.
Joss Whedon responded too.
After his top 100 must see movies list or whatever, I just don't care. He and I don't share much taste in film. Which is fine! Its like one of your friends raving about a thai restaurant when you don't much care for thai.Quoting Grouchy (view post)
Totally agree.

Midnight Run (1988) - 9
The Smiling Lieutenant (1931) - 8.5
The Adventures of Robinhood (1938) - 8
Sisters (1973) - 6.5
Shin Godzilla (2016) - 7.5
Scorsese isn’t exactly a titan of cinema for me. Wolf of Wall Street IS hilarious, though. Clearly his pinnacle, but is that not CINEMA to him? Good! Throw his “cinema” in the trash. Give me the good stuff.
Oh, but most Marvel films are trash, too. I just don’t get why he thinks he’s better?
If cinema is really about real people and emotions, then why all the gangster movies and psychopaths? Scorsese talks like he’s Ozu. What a confused person. Oh, and he probably doesn’f think Bresson is cinema, because Bresson doesn’t care about emoting?
NEXT!

That was just an example, not my personal taste! I love everything.Quoting Peng (view post)
Eh... Troll alert, I guess? If that's your real opinion, I'm genuinely sorry.Quoting PURPLE (view post)
I chuckle a bit that I think Gunn and Whedon just embraced the chance to address Marty in virtual conversation.
