This guys a living legend in cinema. Everything the guy said it right yet you just spout meme lines, how about telling us why he is wrong (unless you're incapable (probably lol)) 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudalb Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I think I can understand where Scorsese and Coppola are coming from...the kind of movie they make is almost impossible to get greenlit at a studio nowdays...but I think the blanket condemnation of a whole genre is wrong. They are taking it out on the wrong people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudalb Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 On 10/20/2019 at 11:54 AM, Zatt was right said: Evolution is evolution. Breaking the mold and evolving is what cinema has been doing since the old black and white silent films. People too attached to nostalgia get bitter at that, but that will never stop cinema from evolving, old geniuses liking that idea or not. Problem is it evolving in the way that.when it comes to live action, nothing but big budget action films .be they CBMs, Sic Fi films,or F and the F and Missioin Impossible type franchises....are going to get made. That is not evolving, that is devolving. Limiting the types of film being made is never, ever a good thing. Maybe you would be satisfied with a dies to nothing but SFX extravangas, but some of us will not be. And I am betting you have seen very,very, few classic films judging from that crack about silent and black and white films. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrGlass2 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 You know Infinity War and its sequel aren't Scorsese movies because they give fantastic roles to women. Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only joking lol, but I do plan to rewatch it because there was a lot of great insight there and a lot of great movie recommendations I've forgotten.

SpiderByte Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Funny that Coppola thinks Marvel is "despicable" but not Victor Salva raping children. Huh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infamous5445 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Because of this "controversy", I've read Marvel and McDonalds in the same sentence at least 20 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudalb Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I think that Scorsese and Coppola were wrong in their attacks on CBMs but the hatred and contempt they are getting in this thread is worse then anything they said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find their takes on the superhero genre harmless. With that said, I can’t really separate his shit takes on why he is an old white dude that can’t really take criticism on the lack of strong women on his films. I can see a pattern, and it’s bullshit. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) Watching touchy feely Hollywood guys trying to explain what makes superhero movies great is a saddening show. They could grow a pair and tell it like it is about the Coppola Wine Maker : He is an arrogant tool.

RealLyre Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 5 hours ago, lorddemaxus said: Also his opinion matters more than any Marvel director and definitely more than yours. you really like those old white men don't you? at least Marvel directors have some sort of diversity. Also Martin Scorsese once signed a petition calling for the release of a convicted pedophile from prison, if you think those type of people's opinions should have more value on Hollywood issues over people who actually try to let people of color find jobs in Hollywood then you're probably part of the problem. Scorsese probably hates Marvel movies because they have too many women and not enough old white men like the rest of his filmography. I bet he'd like Joker though 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you still talking about the series that waited 10 years and 17 movies before having a lead who wasn't a white man? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 we can tell scorsese's not a feminist because he never had an epic girl power scene of all the ladies from his films teaming up to beat the bad guys. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
