we used to be Hollywood heroesand that's 'cos it's about a macho misanthrope, not a rebel without a cause or an action hero or a psycho but an (apparently) intelligent man who repeatedly rejects polite society. there must be a name for this kind of flick
Sorry I see what you mean. I think in the 70s you got those auteurs Kubrick, Cimino whatever and sometimes they made profitable masterpieces but sometimes they fucked up and afterwards they decided to concentrate on guaranteed money makers and curbed the excesses of the geniuses.no i'm not i'm saying there was a window in the 70s where directors had more control than the studio system for a while but what do i know
good point and then the heroes came back badder and bruce williserwe used to be Hollywood heroes
Well it happened to some extent so it's natural to look for an explanation if you're that way inclined.It's just a way to explain why you get grown up movies in the 70s and only kiddy movies in the eighties,
good point and then the heroes came back badder and bruce williser
It's fine to have some Marvel stuff for people who like it I guess but it just feels that the whole of cinema has been overtaken by these superhero things, I find it genuinely depressing. I don't know what percentage of films they are - probably not as much as it feels - but I do think there must be a lot of creative energy (and money obviously) going to them that could be going elsewhere so It's not just moaning about people having their fun. Why is Taika Waikiki doing those those films, it doesn't even that it's his strength, but it's like they've seen this guy doing loads of successful idiosyncratic indie flicks and they just thought, let's scoop him up and pay him a billion dollars to make a mega-blockbuster that he won't be able to put his stamp on and that will make him be faceless and stop him doing what he was doing before (or at least slow him down). Or maybe I'm wrong are his Thor movies any different from the usual fare?on to super heroes and the meta
I sincerely hope Covid has shitcanned such ventures and franchises
Well who doesn't, what a hunk eh, etc.it'd be nice to think so for sure - just read yesterday darren aaronofsky wants to do wolverine
His Thor film definitely stands out. There's a bit more flair to it and it's got a similar tone to Guardians of the Galaxy. It's much more vibrant and energetic than the previous two.Or maybe I'm wrong are his Thor movies any different from the usual fare?
We're trying to save the world and yet everyone fears us and hates us etc waa wah wahThey're interesting in as much as they're symptomatic... of something. I mean obviously the condition of having super powers is the condition of America the super power and there's a great deal of self pity
