Martin Scorsese: Marvel films are cinema. They're theme parks.

Marvel flicks are fun escapist entertainment. God forbid that the masses might just prefer them to the likes of Scorsese's Silence, which sounded dreary as fuck to be perfectly honest.  

I watched Winter Soldier over the holidays with my little cousins and enjoyed it. It goes well beyond fluff too in terms of plot so I'm going to watch a few more and see where they went with all of this. Kevin Feige in general has done a really good job with this franchise and I hear he is going to take on Star Wars next so hopefully he can improve the product.

I'm not sure what is going on with the DCEU but it must be making their producers heads spin. The big outings like Superman v Batman were ripped to shreds by critics and fans, Justice League did even worse yet Aquaman became a massive hit.

Yeah, read more than a few comments about Winter Soldier saying it was appropriate that Redford was in it because the conspiracy thriller plot elements reflected the sort of thing he appeared in during the 70s.

Not sure of the extent of Amber Heard's involvement in Aquaman but here's hoping her lies and history of domestic violence ends her and that film as well.

She was the female lead in the film and it's already DC's biggest box office success with a sequel planned. The why is the confusing part considering how bad the rest of their movies have done with the exception of Wonder Woman. It's 2.5 hours long, has sort of an 80's retro feel in ways even including Dolph Lundgren in the cast and a bad CGI mess. it's just a drag really
The tone is very confusing in the DCEU as well. The last one I watched was Shazam and it's impossible to imagine that character in the universe that includes Man of Steel and the other Zack Snyder films that seem to be going for a darker, more realistic type plots.

As for the lies and domestic violence I will have to hit google on that one. I watch very few Hollywood stars and deliberately avoid looking into them for the most part.

ohhhhhh, she was married to Johnny Depp lol

I'm laughing already. buy the ticket, take the ride

She accused him of abuse and everyone jumped on the bandwagon but he's since bounced back with evidence that she was the one abusing him, with 87 surveillance videos, doctors' reports and photos, including one of his fingers that she severed that needed to be stitched together again. Not to mention she assaulted her ex-girlfriend years before Depp.

Quentin Tarantino said he's fighting 'a war for movies' against Marvel, 'Star Wars,' and James Bond

Well, there wasn't a James Bond film that was released last year, so he is either being two things: either petty, which I don't think he is because his other arguments are sound. Or he is being prophetic, because he realises that no Bond movie is better than what NTTD will be.
