That still leaves you back at being the pretentious douche who imagines they know more about film than Martin Scorsese. 

Even people with issues with Joker single out Phoneix for acclaim. Before the weird backlash the entire movie got wild acclaim out of Venice.

It reminds me of when the Jeffrey Tambor and Louis CK stuff hit and all the people falling all over themselves to declare that they never even liked Arrested Development and Louie, to which I call bullshit. Those are two of the best shows of the past 25 years and terrible people can still be talented. Weinstein was…

It’s the culmination of the Luke Hobbes saga that has been building over the past five movies! 

Your mistake is in not agreeing that volume and frequency of fan service is the most important metric for judging a movie’s quality. 

It’s China, dumb fuck. No one is having free speech in China arguments, like, at all. 

And you really stuck it to that old fart Scorsese.

Spatial relationships? Didn’t they have Benedict Wong stand behind Mark Ruffalo in the funeral scene so that when they did the CGI afterwards it looked like he spent the entire service staring at Hulk’s ass?

You’re as much of an “internet nobody” as he is, despite your valiant (and hopefully paid-for) defense of the artistry of Marvel movies. And when you grope for the “you’re just a nobody...and Barry Jenkins agrees with me!” appeal to authority, you wind up back where you started, because Martin Scorsese agrees with…

Scorsese is absolutely right, you know.

When Endgame came out I had the audacity to ask what Oscar it deserves other than special effects or makeup. Those fanbros you mention were confused as hell. “Uh, best picture, stupid!” or “All of them! Did you see how much money it made, you clod?!” were essentially the answers I received. 

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…

I like Superhero movies, but for the most part, I dont think he’s wrong. Or at least, without getting into whatever “cinema” is, they’re not good movies. They’re empty spectacle, as hollow as that Lion King remake.  But empty spectacle isn't unprecedented in "cinema".  I mean, people used to go the movies to see a guy…

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.

I realize that the Spider-Man and the X-men movies may share plot similarities and character arcs with movies that Scorsese considers art, but you’d be arguing that art is somehow tied to plot, in the same way that art might be argued that art is inextricably tied to style. This isn’t the case: romance novels can also…

I could see this having legitimate roots, actually. He’s a frat boy who only thrives through nepotism and connections, but he seems to, in a way kinda mutated in presentation, value those connections beyond just for his own benefit. Perhaps it’s not enough for him to be in paradise alone; he wants to be in paradise…

This sounds like the sort of show whose only reason for existing is to exist. It’s not trying to say or do something, or to be a unique voice, which is even something Big Mouth manages to be (even if I don’t like Big Mouth), this is just a show that exists to justify its own existence.

Imagine the good these people could do if they put their considerable time and energy into logging off, going outside, and engaging in adult conversation with someone they found attractive and/or interesting. The mind boggles.

Alright, we get it. You know way more about film than us and it makes you more cultured or something.

I say wait a bit longer. So far 99% of everything has happened in a single night, and the excuses for inflating the body count in an as of yet unopened camp is starting to get thin.  This has been my biggest issue with AHS over the past few years, they start with a decent concept, then it starts to get old by the half…
