Needs moar shark suit!

Logical fallacies are a fucking scourge in American discourse.

Oh hey great an entire AV Club Comments section showing up to prove the point of the article!

I mean the headline is literally: “Read this: How nerds became bullying PR stooges for the Marvel monoculture”.

And at this point, what with it being the highest grossing film franchise of all time, it’s not really accurate to describe the Marvel movies as a part of “nerd” culture. They’re just pop culture in general.…

I guess I can see how you could come to this dumb and wrong opinion if you only think he made Goodfellas and The Wolf of Wall Street. But even if you ignore the large number of documentaries in his 65 director credits (per IMBD) - which you shouldn’t - his films are incredibly distinguishable. Even if you group some…

Yeah man, every time I catch Bringing Out the Dead on TV I’m like “damn, is this Hugo or Kundun? I can’t tell!”

The nerds won, and then we found out that the nerds are worse than jocks. At least the jocks didn’t have decades of built up rage and resentment they wanted to unleash the moment they got the tiniest bit of power.

You might have a point if he had said anything like it. If a 5-star chef says, “McDonald’s is fine, but it’s not haute cuisine,” and your interpretation of that is, “Hey, he said you’re all a bunch of pigs choking down your swill,” I don’t think the problem is with Scorcese. 

“the “other side” of this discussion is a 77 year old man making his fourth or fifth movie about organized crime with the same cast.”

So you’re as completely full of shit as the rest of the MCU defenders.

I’m glad I skipped all the superhero movies so that I can come to articles like this and post that I havent seen any of them since raimi’s spiderman 2

The way the article is presented here is pretty much a perfect summary description of the state of the world in 2019. A bunch of morons vehemently defending things that either provide them no benefit or actively undermine their very existence.

Did we not get an obit for Rene Auberjonois?

There’s a fascinating angle here that’s being overlooked, and has happened quite a few times already.

To be fair, Cahiers du Cinéma has, at least, been consistent in its efforts to give us this absolutely massive headache
To be fair, they feel A.V. Club has been giving them absolutely massive eyerolls choosing Mad Max: Fury Road for the top spot.

Thanks! I’m not a huge fan of the photo either, but I’m not certain what else to use that’s adequately evocative but less on the nose (or beak, as it were).

I mean... there are people who believe the Earth is flat, perform experiments that verify it’s not, and still believe the Earth is flat. I think Snyder fans can figure out a way to worship a pile of shit.

I found it annoying in the mid-00s when every DVD also came out as an “unrated version.” It was almost always one or two deleted scenes restored, and as good as or worse than the original.

The post-credits scene is The Day the Clown Cried.

It’s fun when they release a director’s cut of a movie that you saw but don’t remember very well and you can’t tell the difference.

Not only does it exist, it contains missing footage from Greed, The Magnificent Ambersons, and two Hartnell-era Doctor Who serials.
