    Scorcese and Coppola said some completely insignificant boring shit about comic book movies being like theme parks. Which is absolutely true.

    Seeing the internet blow up and calling them jealous hacks, overrated grumpy old men etc.... I dunno, it's all just another giant stinking shit that we are truly living in an idiocracy. Guys. Comic book movies. This is the highest achievement of American cinema apparently. Cool.

    • Coppola hasn't made a good film in 35yrs. He can shut the fuck up. LOL.Hayzilla
    • it is an interesting debate though. Things have flipped, B movies are now essentially the money spinners. It can all be traced back to Jaws though, one of thefadein11
    • first B movie blockbusters (if not the first). What's funny is a lot of America's true great directors cut their teeth on Roger Cormanfadein11
    • (the king of B movies) films. Scorsese being one of them. Some B movies like Jaws are now considered masterpieces (I agree) but will the same be said aboutfadein11
    • Infinity Wars etc. ? Decent but masterpiece. I think the directors of the 70's / 80's juggle art vs commerciality a lot better.fadein11
    • but masterpiece? *fadein11
    • Yeah, adults read Harry Potter, comic movies treated like great cinema. Dumb people who hate being challenged love this shit
      ********
    • Also lol at people who argue "but look how much money it made!" As though profit is the metric of quality. Luuuulz
      ********
    • These comic book movies are mind numbing. So boring. People who think they're good are just simpltons.
      ********
    • It's like my girlfriend trying to convince me that the latest romcom is good. She wouldn't do that though, at least romcom fans know they're watching trash!!!

    • True it's a fun conversation, and has been one since Spielberg delivered the first 'blockbuster' with Jaws.inteliboy
    • But this seems less of a conversation, more about grown adults getting angry about anyone dismissing their precious marvel movies.inteliboy
