    Tell that to Spielberg, De Palma, Malick, Michael Mann, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Nolan, Tarantino. They were all operating off decades and decades of cinema and still innovated. It's not hard to come up with something original if you've studied the form your whole life. The reality is that filmmaking is now a producer endeavor, not an artistic one. The objective is to make money, not to make art. These new guys are project managers, not artists.

    New movies are woke. Tarantino sucks. And Rock is the worst friend ever.

    Furiosa is woke and I think I'm gonna finally love Fury Road because it provides a lot of meaning and heft to the spectacle

    If anyone can be credited with the turn of modern cinema into franchise driven, infantile pablum it's Spielberg. An activist producer if there ever was one! Regardless of how you feel about his own filmography

    I’ve come around a bit to how un-charismatic Cage is in this, like he’s such an overwhelmingly annoying, obnoxious presence in the film that it becomes an interesting (though not all that fun to watch) inversion of the “persuasive/alluring psychopath” trope in horror movies

    This guy does not have Heath Ledger Joker, Col. Kurtz type aura, charisma or intelligence, the reason he’s able to infiltrate these families is strictly because the literal devil is helping him out with hypnotic magic so strong it can make him invisible and otherwise he’s just a grating burnout

    How did this movie not go anywhere with gender stuff?|| Like ||Nicolas Cage was trying to be a lady right? How was that not brought up?

    oz's dad irl was gay and his mom helped cover for him when he was growing up.

    Not necessarily, seemed more like the ambiguous androgyny that was in vogue in the 70s, probably just wanted to have Lou Reeds nose. Even Satan can’t make plastic surgery before 1990 look good

    Weird/fun that they mention the first murder is 1966; is that the FBI attributing unsolved cases to Longlegs erroneously or has he been active for a full decade before he meets his assistant?

    That would have him predating Manson and Zodiac by a long shot, even makes Zodiac look like a copycat of him - and they do exist in this world because both get mentioned by Harker/Carter

    Wasn't a taste question. More of an "are you consistent in your criticisms" question. He was not. Prob thinks new movies are woke

    I was consistent. lmao youre a f***ing idiot. And then you proceed to accuse me of some other bullshit. My favorite movie this year was Furiosa (even if its half the movie Fury Road is, another movie people called woke) which people called woke also. So f*** you and f*** your dogshit ass assumptions.

    yeah. And Scorsese inspired a whole gen of dogshit "satire" bullshit like Vice and War Dogs. Doesn't mean he ain't great. Your points are weak as s***.

    It's not Spielberg and Scorsese's fault that the youth are absolute dogshit with zero ability to comprehend what makes their films great.

    Scorsese's kind are going extinct. He's one of the last guys allowed to make those movies. He did not shape the industry. Every gun for hire franchise director is on the Spielberg playbook
