Just because some people dislike the blockbusters you like, it doesn’t mean they hated everything popular.

 

No, it's totally fine if they dislike it. Everybody is free to its own opinion. That's not the point. I just don't like that kind of judgement from an elitist standpoint and i'm pretty sure, they haven't seen any of the 1567 MCU-movies to get to such a general judgement. There are many MCU movies that are mediocre at best, some are bad. But to throw them all in a pot and call them despicable is just, as I said, not very open minded, because not all of them are one of the same.

Coppola only made two great movies? Wait? What? 

 

Apocalypse Now and The Godfather are, in my opinion, great movies. Great in terms of 9/10 or 10/10. There are a coupe of good movies he did as well. 

 

Don't get me wrong, Both are great directors that gifted the world some movie classics and great movies. I just don't like the WAY they critizise others work.

Isn’t that Scorsese quote from 2019…and people are still talking about it? Why is pop culture frozen in place for the last 5 years?

Good for TWR!

Still coping and saying it can at least do well on streaming. Let's hope it doesn't waste away on Paramount+ for too long, this needs Netflix's audience reach to have a chance for the future.

That implies paramount has the potential to make good decisions 💀💀💀

Francis you have made some of the greatest movies of all time and no MCU movie is better than Godfathers 1 and 2  but just go sit on your lawn or at your vineyard and yell at the clouds or whatever.

Coppola does not have a greater supporter then I, but that MCU comment was wrong, wrong, wrong.

He is just lashing out that his dream project had not turned out so well.

And even if the MCU films were trash, with which I don;t agree it does not good toscream about the bad taste of the public.The public is going to see what it wants to see.

And the intellectuals seem to have pretty much rejected the film as well

And Scorsese was a producer on "The Joker" until he had to drop out to focus on other projects.

Copopla's attack on Marvel was stupid and made him look like the bigger old man, but going to the other extreme and saying just about eveny film genre except those which qualify as "geek"  movie are elistist is stupid.

Gangsters movies being elitiest is really stupid, given that the curren "Penguin" DC series is most definently a gangster movie.

Lionsgate Offers Employees Voluntary Severance Amid “Disrupted Business Environment” (deadline.com)

Sad. This was triggered by the failure of Magalopois, though why I don't know; it was a pickup by Lionsgate and they did not lose nearly as much on it as they did on their other bombs this year. I guess it was the image they have of being the studio that could not shoot straight.

Speaking of studios in trouble, I rewathced "The Offer" on Paramount Plus this weekned. Although a lot of the minisereis was crap (they really over blow the Mafia's involment with the making of the Godfather ) it does show this is the not the first time Paramount was in deep shit. I just wonder if they can find a Bob Evans this time around to turn things around.

I said we were done with this “movie directors being mean about Marvel” discourse, and I meant it. Anybody who continues this nonsense any further will see a thread ban. Thank you.

What? How about The Godfather Part II and The Conversation?

And a couple of others that were no too shabby.

Not to mention the Screenwriting Oscar he won for writing 'Patton" another classic.

Probably an end of the quarter thing.
