Good Morning Psychos! Your Monday morning thoughts set the tone for your whole week. See yourself getting stronger, & living a fulfilling, happier & healthier life.

Good morning, everybody.

 

It's August, it's sunny but not too much, we will have only 24 degrees, but this accompanied by 86% humidity will give us a soft and pleasant day. Summer is going and the days have begun to shorten, the sun no longer sets at 11pm, but at 10pm, mainly enjoying at that time a pleasant temperature that allows you to rest even on the sunniest days; and although I would like to have the cinematographic talent of David Lynch, I can only give the local weather report.

 

These days this threat is a bit quiet, and nothing like a bit of friendly (always funny!!) controversy to shake it up a bit:

1. What do you think about the words of James Gunn saying that Scorsese was cynical and criticized Marvel movies because he needed visibility for his film?
2. Who will win the fight, Disney or Scarlett? Who is right? Is she crazy taking on Disney? Or was it about time someone took on Disney? When you win 20 million for a movie, do you have the right to complain, or if you've already won that, can they do whatever they want with you?
3. Are Messi's tears real or fake?
4. What topic about your country do you like the least? Did you ever find it here?

Have a great day

1. Scorsese does have a point criticizing Marvel movies but he would be more believable saying things like this about Transformers or Fast&Furious...so yeah I think there is some truth to it...taking the biggest franchise and causing a ruckus is still PR

2. Even if she already got a lot of money, it's still not right if she could/should have earned more. No one would be happy if they agreed to work under certain conditions expecting a certain amount of money and then they change something on a whim. And Disney really jumped the shark with their statement regarding the situation.

3. Is Messi even real?

4. Well...what could the topic about Germany be that I like the least...hmmm...reeeeaaaaallly hard to tell

🥤howdy @Casiusco,

1. Had to look it up *gulp*… so says Scorsese just because of the way he makes his movies… variety is the spice of life!

2. Scarlett for the win, it is not the same Disney I grew up with 😞 

3. Messi’s tears are real, he will be leaving a team he enjoyed!

4. Do not get me started on this, I’ll be in John’s doghouse again 😂

What do you think about the words of James Gunn saying that Scorsese was cynical and criticized Marvel movies because he needed visibility for his film?

 

It's really hard to say what the exact motivators were for Scorsese's criticism of Marvel films, but a marketing/PR decision is a possibility given the nature of Hollywood.

 

Since much debate and controversy has followed Scorsese's criticisms of the current state of cinema, I figured I'd offer my own two cents.

 

Now, rather than saying I agree/disagree with his comments, I'll just offer my own disorganised thoughts:

 

Part of the beauty of cinema lies in the many forms it can take. One of those forms can be a "rollercoaster" or "rollercoaster ride".

 

Just because a film aims to provide a rollercoaster ride for its audience doesn't automatically disqualify its inclusion as a piece of a "cinema", and nor does it necessarily mean it's a film without any depth or merit or intelligence.

 

Formulaic filmmaking isn't a recent phenomenon. Big-budget, tentpole blockbusters (often based on a pre-existing IP) have been around for quite a while and they're meant to get asses in seats and make $$$. Now, depending on the studio, these films can play a rather pivotal role in keeping the theatrical experience alive and well, as well as providing opportunities for smaller, more independent films (such as those often pursued by Scorsese) to get made and screened.

 

And at the risk of offering up a "hot-take", if you've seen enough films, you may see that many arthouse/indie/experimental films can be just as guilty as adhering to a well-worn formula as these tentpole blockbusters, albeit in a much more esoteric, abstract or thematic way.

 

An older generation of filmmakers not connecting with the current style of cinema isn't a new thing either.

 

If you go back to the 1970s, which is often considered to be one of the golden eras in the history of cinema, and read a lot of the critiques and interviews from older filmmakers from that time, you'll find that some of them weren't particularly impressed the new-wave style of filmmaking (by the likes of Scorsese, Coppola, Spielberg, Lucas, De Palma, Friedkin, etc.) that began to take hold and nor did they think anything particularly new was being done. At least, nothing that hadn't already been done before.

 

And finally, broadly defining films as "rollercoasters" to discredit them when they can encompass a rollercoaster of events or a rollercoaster of emotions the audience experiences whilst watching a film does a great disservice to a great many films, including ones by Scorsese.

 

Films like Goodfellas, Casino, The Wolf of Wall Street, etc. can be classified as "rollercoasters" in terms of where they take audiences on these journeys with the characters.

 

And those films are cinema....right? 😉
