Elton John would probably be the best fit considering his being everywhere in the 70's...

Pretty sure I remember it being used in Rogue One as well and not the MCU so your humble pie can remain uneaten. Plus “Old Marty” was very good friends with Lucas so if anything he’d thank ILM and “Old George” and not the MCU....

I know it’s the trailer and a trailer’s job is always to sell the sizzle and not the steak but DAMN this movie looks incredible. 

Those would be the three I absolutely would not include...

Fully agree. I realize now that my OP is a bit misleading in that I meant it more as a joke about the vitriol that came my way when I defended Scorsese and his comments. 

I wouldn’t have those three movies on the list either...well, maybe Logan. But I do think that GOTG and Ragnorak probably should have made the list along with BP. 

Yes, the comparison of films being made from an immensely popular work/book that was one of the dominant film making genres of the 50's has no comparison to this at all. None.

No, I want clarification because I didn’t grasp said feat. Don’t be a CancerAid. 

Fury Road (IMO) transcended what action films usually are in the way a film like “The Great Escape” or “The Magnificent Seven” did. Whereas Spandex movies by and large don’t with very, very few exceptions.

Of course his (Welles) reward for this was basically watching the studio system shit all over him for the rest of his life to the point he ended up in those terrible wine commercials. Poor guy. On the plus side we got some funny Simpsons, The Critic and SCTV moments from it

For good reason: what he was doing at the time with camera work, angles and so forth was not being done in the Hollywood studio system in any way at the time.

XANADU! STATELY HOME OF CHARLES FOSTER KANE...PRICE...NO ONE CAN SAY...

Nah, that’s too easy a reference. I’m thinking David Gates & Bread and other assorted wimp rock like Seals and Croft

Fully agree, but Conan can’t top Colbert’s nerdy LOTR arcane knowledge...

The only question is do you move the ‘Nice Guys’ into the present of move the “Other Guys” into the 70's. As a fan of most things 70's I vote the latter.

I might take Gunn’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” because I’m that first gen Star Wars kid, but I can’t disagree with this. Super was very, very good and I’ve been a fan of Gunn going back to his Troma days.

When I first heard there was a movie called the comedy, I thought it would be fun and zany, like that movie “Spaceballs.” But instead it was dark and disturbing, like that movie “The Comedy”.

You beat me to my question which is how do you reconcile his comments with your love of said comic genre?

I’ve never read an Alan Moore comic but this makes me want to:

Alan Moore the guy from Watchmen? Now I have to find what he said...
