No wonder there's another embarassing take from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they don't know what to do except be snarky towards the people who like the movie or pretend that they didn't want another theater mascare to happen to prove some asinine point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DlAMONDZ Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) The mass hysteria over the Joker has to be one of the most bizarre things this decade I bet WB told Todd Phillips to add more fuel to the fire with his "far left" comment. That really got blue check marks on twitter in a frenzy Edited October 24, 2019 by DlAMONDZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just always seems to resort to strawmen, and his claim about DC movies appealing to the alt-right crowd while Marvel movies appeal to left wingers always came across as a condescending generalization. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrGlass2 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Don't be too harsh on Iger: when Scorsese compared MCU movies to theme parks in a derogatory way, it was doubly insulting for Iger. And don't forget that he does it all for the fans: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpiderByte Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) Wow, BoxOfficeMojo's redesign is straight fucking garbage.

Some people in the nerd community feel jealous he's the one who got to make nerd dream projects like Watchmen, Batman v Superman and Justice League. Because they didn't like him or didn't think he deserved it, these people developed a completely unjustified and insane hate for him. It's something that should be seriously considered for study because it's not normal human behavior. Snyder might be the nicest guy in the world, but he could still be a crappy director. I love the way you dismiss anybody who dares criticize The Great God Zack as crazy. And I think the way you blindly worship Snyder and think he is beyond criticism to be something worthy of study by a psychologist....+ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RealLyre Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Quote The tentpole films, the big comic book films, they’re theme park movies — as well done as many of them are, at all levels. It’s a different cinema form or a new art form entirely. We’re hoping there are theaters that show the films that are not that. And that if they’re not going to show it that filmmakers still have an opportunity with streaming — it changes the experience, but otherwise, in two to three years now, it’s not being done. A good filmmaker comes in from Italy or France comes in, the film has to be a [franchise] or they won’t do it anymore. lmfao you can't make this shit up maybe try make some good movies and people will actually go see them in theaters? instead of crying about your films getting stuck on streaming services with no funding and blaming the audiences for not appreciating "true art". 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People close to the picture said Netflix’s total commitment is at least $173 million, while others close to the film offered estimates above $200 million, making “The Irishman” the most expensive adult drama in recent history. I am not sure if you are making a parody of someone that have no clue at all ? 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen 2 Scorsese films (one was decent with other being great even if it comes off as misogynistic) so he's a decent filmmaker but I'll probably never see a Scorsese film ever again after his petty comments against my favorite franchise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being my point, terrible movie can make $700M really good one under $50M, making a good movies isn't enough for it to find an audience it is only one of the many step that need to go right without any pre-made awareness / part of a popular genre. Wolf had a 100M budget and made nearly $400M, he just made a 170-200M movie on Netflix, is next movie planned is with DiCaprio and should again be with a really nice budget with a real good theatrical release, he is near death/retirement that is not necessarily about him has much as you think, we are talking about someone that spend a lot of is own money on movies (making them, film conservation and restoration) that has a really big passion for the group theatrical experience. 46 minutes ago, RealLyre said: he's a decent filmmaker Oh my.....
