COVID-19 Discussion

I guess it really comes down to one's definition of spoiled. If someone earns their cash and wants a specific taste, and it is available, I don't see that as spoiled.
Careful, your "hilariousness" is showing
 
Taking all we have for granted is the definition of being spoiled. I’m sure you hear grown ass men whining because of the way we’ve been inconvenienced because of the virus. Don’t lie. I see it and hear it every day.

You guys kill me.

Brag about all of your fancy trips but the want to tell the board we take everything for granted? We’re spoiled?

Then get pissy when someone disagrees?

Some of you guys really need to fuckin’ check yourselves.

I think it's better, or I like it alittle better anyway... they're kinda different type of movies IMO tho.

Scarface is just pure kickass and Goodfellas has much better character development, relationships, humor etc...

Can you believe they showed us Goodfellas in school? These kids just don’t know... gangster movies and PE where you could keep score?

The good old days.
 
A little hardship and some crumble. A little hardship and some of you think it’s ok to label others as spoiled.

Not one of you knows real hardship. I do. Do I fuckin’ preach it upon any of you? Have I ever? No. Because then I’d be fuckin’ pretentious douchebag.

@CrossBones didn't you do some sort of blast about this? You’re losing members.

Jesus Christ. STFU. Stop being so overly sensitive.

If you or anybody else wants to leave the forum just do it. No need to have any sort of dramatic exit.

This isn't the eight grade. I'm not here to hold your hand. Post if you want. Follow the rules or just leave. I really don't care.
 
long, drawn out, bland lip service to greater films...

Finished it to make sure it was bad.

Scorsese was originally supposed to be involved in producing Joker, but...if I'm remembering things accurately...left that project to make The Irishman. I'm sure he'd argue the point, but it looks like a pretty bad decision. Be it the (admittedly subjective) difference in quality when comparing the two finished products, or the hu-fuck-mongous disparity in box office receipts, I feel like it's fair to say...

Decided to double check, and it appears Scorsese gave a pretty clear reason for why he decided to not be a part of Joker. He played the "I just didn't have time" card at first, but then said fuck it and told the interviewer what he really thought. He really and truly wants nothing to do with comic book movies. Not even a little. He clearly resents the hell out of them.

He was reportedly interested in telling Arthur's story. He just didn't want to take that final step and have Arthur's arc end with him becoming a comic book villain, an "abstraction." That was a line he couldn't cross.

I thought it was comic book movies that he hated. Evidently, his disdain for "theme park movies" (aka "not cinema") includes simply having the protagonist of a "real movie" become a realistic version of a comic book character, even if the film itself has *next to no* comic book movie elements or hokie comic book villain hijinks.

I say "next to no" because, as much as I love how grounded and believable Joker is, I readily admit the next-to-last scene kinda sorta veers into comic book movie territory. Not enough to turn Joker into a comic book movie, imo. But that specific scene is definitely more outrageous than everything before it. Thankfully, it's so god damn phenomenal, no one but Scorsese would say it shouldn't be included in the film.

My dude is bitter and petty with this anti- super hero shit. :pound:

I do understand why he's upset, though. He explains that well enough, and I agree with him to a point. It's just a shame such an accomplished and highly regarded legend of the industry chooses to obscure a valid complaint by expressing it in such a snobby and elitist way. I'd expect that of someone like myself, but it seems like an all time great storyteller like Marty could get his point across without being snooty.

It is entirely too early to be this grumpy. Delete everything except "Stop being so sensitive", have your coffee, rub one out, then come back in a better headspace.

Don't make me send you the type of PM that you used to send me before I finally developed a little self-control. :chuckle:
