It's called genre Mr. Scorsese. The same reason you keep going back to mob films. It's a genre you are good at. Taxi driver and Joker are closely related. Blood brothers.

Ingest fecal material and expire.

He's (Scorsese) entitled to his opinion. I think I'll go watch Boxcar Bertha again.

And thank you Ridley Scott, Sigourney Weaver for dishing out some well-deserved kudos. Nice to see encouraging stuff from tinsel town.

It just doesn't work. Every shot needs a purpose and every shot needs to further the story.

I have a nice 4k big screen television. Every time I went to the theatre I was frustrated by talking, smoking, cell phones. Plus, I'm 6'6" tall. Just a ton of distractions. At home with the lights out and the beverages and snacks set out, it's much better for total immersion. Plus the streaming services offer many movies not available in the theatre.
