Merzbow Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 He's not wrong but he said that after Covenant was made..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members waters44 Posted November 17, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted November 17, 2021 I loved Covenant 😕 in fact I prolonged an argument with the wife purely so I had an excuse to flounce out the house and go and see if for a second time on my own I don’t mind superhero films but I recently watched Wonder Woman 84 and Eternals and they are both awful.

WyattSheepMask Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Covenant gets a pass because it has one Michael Fassbender telling another Michael Fassbender “you blow, I’ll do the fingering”, causing an entire cinema to erupt in childish giggling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Factotum Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Is James Gunn going to suddenly appear and say they're all doing it for attention like he did with Scorsese? What a berk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a berk. I loved that. “TAKE OUR FILMS SERIOUSLY!!!” Scorsese “Ok, they’re made by consensus and aren’t artistic” “NOT LIKE THAT!!!!” I know a comic book guy (don’t we all, it may even be you) and he got miffed at what Marty said, then when he broke it down and went into detail about them for ten minutes I said “Yeah, that’s what Scorsese said. The producers are the show runners, the CGI will do the legwork and any director has about 30 minutes of their own”. Mind you, he then said “Why can’t we just let people enjoy things” before slating fans of bands he don’t like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Danger Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Thing is, Ridley Scott would be a great super hero film director. All that skill but actually being reined in by his Disney overlords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He insisted that Ant Man wasn’t a superhero movie, it was a heist movie, because Ant Man had no superpowers. A bit like how Batman has no superpowers then?

Daaaaaad! Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Ridley Scott already made his own comic book movie anyway. There were pictures in the Bible, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they wanted was for the thing they loved to be placed on a pedestal, not for it to be "taken seriously" in the sense that art or all other media actually is.

No it fucking isn't. Just because Robert Redford's taken a pay cheque doesn't mean this is THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR. I saw they were ready to attack PTA on it when he was asked, but he nicely said his kids like them, but that he enjoyed VENOM 2, which must have confused them all.

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted November 18, 2021 Awards Moderator Share Posted November 18, 2021 I assume interviewers are using up parts of their time with these directors asking about superhero movies because they know it'll get clicks. Which does seem to work, but directors must now be starting to expect the "So, MARVEL eh" question as part of their press routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
