I’m sure the million ethnic Muslim Ugyhurs residing in the Xinjiang re-education camps will be happy to hear about the NBA’s commitment to Chinese fans as they assemble for their 5 a.m. re-education seminar. It will make their morning rice gruel taste so much sweeter.

You are so woke. 

Kind of unprofessional not to do it first thing in the morning, and instead wait until he was two hours into eating tape.

Came to say this. Can’t he just ghost him like a normal person? 

Here is your rule of thumb for this sort of thing: If, at any point in the production, a team of studio people are debating “what the action figures are going to look like” - it is not art. It’s commerce.

Irish Man, Irish Man,
Does whatever the Irish can.
Drinks his whiskey by the pint.
Never backs down from a fight.
Look out!
Here comes the Irish Man.

With great power comes great drinking and irresponsibility.

Im ashamed to be in the same generation as you.

I rewatched Goodfellas and that film is almost 30 years old and it’s aged like a fine wine.

i mean if i was making the kind of cash stan lee was, i’d be a huge fan of beetleman and captain car and all the rest until the day i died too

Scorsese cares and think he does because he and a lot of other directors have trouble financing movies unless they are superhero stuff, sequels or remakes.
It makes sense that he cares. And so should way more people.
I don’t think superheros are completely trash ( some are pretty fun) but to have that over and over…

Yeah, he’s just made, like, 10-15 boxing films, all following the same fucking formula, and they were just as shallow and devoid of meaning and value as Rocky V, didn’t he? And Raging Bull isn’t any more worthwhile than Random Douchebag Vigilante Team 27: CGI Wankfest. How dare you be an elitist? McDonald’s is the…

No no that’s all Irish men, but he can activate his super powers and also hold down a job and sometimes even walk away from a fight.

“The Russo Bros are so fundamentally sound in the way they communicate spatial relationships between characters during set-pieces. It’s what truly separates their work on this scale from most others’. It’s truly jaw-dropping how grounded the audience is at all time.”

Ah yes, who can forget this all time iconic…

I absolutely believe that the distinction between high and low culture is arbitrary and stupid, and trying to find the line between “cinema” and “movies” is also fruitless. All that said, in 60 years people will be as likely to watch Ant Man and the Wasp as you are to watch Abbot and Costello Meet The Mummy.

This argument is doing less work than you probably think it is. Lots of abstract things can’t be properly or strictly or non-arbitrarily defined, but that doesn’t prevent us from forming opinions about what belongs in certain categories and what doesn’t. I’m sure I couldn’t come up with an airtight definition of what…

Marty’s being generous. I wouldn’t even call this stuff popcorn movies at this point. They’re more like Pringles, mass produced to fit snugly on top of each other and easily swallowed by the handful but rather bland and devoid of nourishment.

Yeah, I’m with Marty on this one.

But Scorsese’s current movie is about a WWII vet who was bitten by a radioactive Irish man! Its working title was even Captain America Meets Jimmy Hoffa!

Jesus dude were you getting paid by the letter?
