“old man scared of his own relevance” being said about one of the greatest directors of all time and probably the greatest alive. Ffs man…
Comment on Martin Scorsese urges filmmakers to fight comic book movie culture: ‘We’ve got to save cinema’

What a coincidence that he’s got a movie that’s “fighting back” checks watch oh right about now! 🙄
Not only is this ridiculous (and untrue) fearmongering about the death of “real cinema” from an old man scared for his own relevance, it’s such blatant self-promotion it’s sickening. Dude would be better served being silent and maintaining his (admittedly deserved) reputation and prestige in the art form instead of tarnishing it with foolish declarations like this.

First, I never said he was irrelevant. I said he’s scared that he is. Second, past accomplishments don’t negate current or future accountability for dumb statements like his.

I wonder when we will see a headline “ech@lemm.ee punches back: ‘there’s a place for these movies, they’re great’”. Your body of work is what makes people care about your opinion. The fact that Scorcese has made such outstanding movies is why people think he might know something about them… apparently you think those movies carry no weight but they absolutely do, this post existing in the first place being enough evidence of that already
Won’t someone else stand up for the poor multi, multibillion dollar industry?? Think of the shareholders!!!

That you think Martin is somehow outside of this “poor multi, multibillion dollar industry” that you think I’m defending really says everything.

You’re wrong and Martin scorcese is right. First of all, he’s Martin scorcese and you’re not. Also, he speaks the truth and you’re not. He’s articulating exactly what I started feeling around 2003. I get so much shit for not liking superhero movies despite them being absolute dog shit. Nice to finally feel like I’m not the only one.

The Irishman got 9 Oscar nominations so I’m not really sure he’s “fighting for his own relevance.”
