Article Comment – James Cameron Is Not a Fan of Ang Lee's High Frame Rate

Well, I would give you the benefit of the doubt regarding HFR and perception.

But if you're also OK with the "motion smoothing", perhaps the issue is that you have no discerning taste. Like some people who can eat anything, no matter how bad it is cooked.

So whether you got used to it, might be a coincidence with you being an outlier...

Article Comment – Scorsese Won't Stop Attacking Marvel Movies

Did a fifteen year old wrote the article?

Saying your opinion on whether something is art (mostly meaning "good art") or not, is part of the reason of being an artist.

For those just doing it for the business "everything is art" (meaning any old crap they can sell).

For those concerned with cinema, some things are more worthy of the title than others.

And that's not "get off my lawn" (implying some senile old man).

Even a very young Scorsese was vocal about the movies he liked. Like tons of other young directors do. Sorry, classifying art works regarding to perceived quality or importance is not an age thing. Tons of young filmmakers are also vocal about which movies they consider commercial crap and which not.

God forbid, anybody insults the wisdom of Joe Average, and his "right" to watch Avenger movies. It's a free country, anybody can still watch whatever they like, and Scorsese (and many others) can still NOT consider it worthy.

When did "superhero in spandex" movies became the epitome of cinema, so much that people are not allowed to consider unworthy?

If some artist (e.g. Radiohead) called "Spice Girls" or "Boys 2 Men" or whatever, and "not music", would you also protest? Or Marvel movies get some special exemption from being criticized because they're popular? Milli Vanilli and Vanilla Ice were also popular...

Article Comment – Robert Downey, Jr. Finally Weighs In on Scorsese vs. Marvel

In the modern world, especially the US, everything is "subjective", so individual opinion is king. There's no shared canon to fall back on, so anybody can argue that Avengers is just as good as the Taxi Driver or Citizen Cane...

Article Comment – You Shouldn't See 'Joker' This Weekend (Opinion)

Yes, just like a spectacular angry response against e.g. a KKK march show that the KKK was right... Very good logic d:mas...

Article Comment – You Shouldn't See 'Joker' This Weekend (Opinion)

Sorry, but I'll watch whatever I like.

If you don't like this, because it's too heavy or too real or too disturbed, go see some feel good crap. Disney would have something out... Or some Avengers maybe...

This was supposed to be a pro-movie website?

Article Comment – Scorsese Says Marvel Movies Are 'Not Cinema' As 'Joker,' Based on His Work, Opens Wide

The problem is that "movies made for children" is now 90% of movies in the Box Office, and that it's hardly just children and teens watching them. It's a society where 40 year olds await "excitedly" for the new superhero in spandex movie, with the same trite plot, gratuitous VFX and bad performances, and as 20 previous ones...

Joker is in another league of course. But even the best non-Joker example I can think of now, Logan, was young-adult-fiction level at best...
