"Movie And A Show" Thread: Popcorn Optional

YouTube was recommending free movies. The Secret of NIMH was one of them. If he was a better business man and kept his vision in tact, he would have destroyed Disney’s animation department.

Scorsese shitting on comic book movies makes me smile.

The thing is Scorsese isn’t wrong in his assessment…

Not even remotely. I agree with him 100%

Yes comic movies are subpar by default and aren’t actually movies. 100% facts.

Oh wait he just shitted on Marvel. Guess he thinks D.C. films are great. :man_shrugging:

No…he was referring to all comic book action movies.

Marvel happens to be the top of that genre.

moviebob gave Joker 4/10.

in order
superman 78
hellboy
dr strange
ironman
batman begins
captain america
x men 2
the shadow
wonder woman
the crow

thats my top 10

So you think all comic movies are shit by default and shouldn’t count as movies then?

…did Scorsese say that?

The point is Super Hero movies are shallow, designed by committee, fairly safe movies that are made so that 12 year olds or people that can’t even speak english can still easily follow and understand what is going on. This doesn’t mean the movies are bad. It just means they don’t challenge or elevate the viewer but instead just entertain. That’s the reason films like Black Panther or the Dark Knight get so much praise. They at least attempt to talk about subject matter that may make audiences think and have characters with multiple dimensions beyond what is standard in that genre.

Joker movie was amazing; I was skeptical at first when I saw the trailer awhile back maaan Phoenix really made Joker come alive in the movie. It’s a realistic story path on how anyone can potentially be a Joker.
Planning to watch it again later this week.

Scorsese’s comments are just typical gate keeping elitism from someone who admits he doesn’t even watch them.

“They aren’t Cinima” my ass.
