Factotum Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Quote hopefully we can find Mackenzie Davis other action roles. Yup, she's great. Hopefully gets a real good franchise around her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted November 4, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted November 4, 2019 Maybe she'll play a superhero if Devon is lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Maybe Cameron can put her in one of his 12 Avatar films. Seriously though, I hope that whole Avatar thing fails miserably and Cameron fancies going back to making at least one good film before he carks it.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted November 5, 2019 Moderators Share Posted November 5, 2019 Why not link to the actual thing he wrote? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/04/opinion/martin-scorsese-marvel.html?smid=tw-nytopinion&smtyp=cur I don't even understand why articles about articles are even a thing (I mean, I do. But they are pointless unless there is actually some insight added, which 99% of the time there isn't) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Factotum Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Brilliantly put by Marty and echoing a lot of what was said on here. Of course his comments will be taken out of all context one again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Yeah that's much better put and even the most ardent of fan boys would struggle to find the sense in what he's saying there. They will though. The comparisson and difference to Hitchcock was especially clarifying. Have the marvel kids started review bombing The Irishman yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted November 5, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) I don't agree with all of the things he has put. I mean no emotion or element of risk is not true when you have a series of over 20 films over an 11 year period with the same actors playing those characters and there is character development.and you do grow some attachments to the characters. And I do love franchises. However, they are works of art in a completely different way to your Hitchcock, Anderson, Del Toro, Coppola, Scorsese's. But my favorite films, the ones that have had the longest lasting effect on me are probably Eighth Grade and Rocketman. And sure, I know Rocketman is not a small budget film, but nor did it feel like a studio tentpole either. And what I have noted is like with Eighth Grade, Booksmart and The Peanut Butter Falcon (which I will try to finally watch this week) is the struggle to get a decent time to see those films at my local multiplex even on opening weekend. Maybe we should adopt a system similar to the french where there has to be an allocation allowed for local films to be shown and reducing the number of imports.

Mr_Danger Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 There's absolutely a sense that there's no real element of risk, well to any half informed adult. Look at Infinity War, nobody should give a fuck about all those guys disappearing because audiences being aware of sequels and how massive coporations treat their assets means you know they'll all be back. What Scorsese does miss is that these are kids films and a lot of his criticisms about the creative content of them are through the eyes of an old artist. Out of Hugo and Ant Man I know which one my kids would rather see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBacon Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 It’s all a massive swerve and Al Pacino will fly off into the sky at the end of The Irishman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
