      I told you. I warned you. Stop with the dopey #TeamMarty #TeamMarvel fan club fighting or I would have to step in myself. And if you don't like it, remember, you made me do it. Marty v Marvel and my farewell to the New Hollywood is up at @BookPlusFilm:https://bookandfilmglobe.com/film/marty-vs-marvel/ …

      "No! Especially not that. I don’t like porn – these easy liberal movies. A lot of junk.” – John Ford, when asked if he'd seen Midnight Cowboy. Lib porn? Me, I like it, but when the gods of cinema speak, you listen. Transfer it to nitrate, toss it on the fire, out it goes!pic.twitter.com/kPcUL5goD6

      The assumption here is that Marvel movies are comparable with The Searchers, Apocalypse Now or Midnight Cowboy. I like the Marvel movies but I don't think that's so.

      No, the point is that aesthetics of different generations change radically. Capra and Ford evaluated film on content more than auteurist storytelling or directorial personality, whereas the next generation valued that a lot less and direction much more.

      There is no evidence that Scorsese is out of touch with young filmmakers who make non-Marvel movies (who are much more aesthetically adventurous than most Marvel, to be frank).

      You lost me, I never said that he was. You didn't read the piece, right?

      yes, but I was trying to show why the idea that this is just a generational divide doesn't hold water.

          Scorsese describes it as such in his nyt piece, as specifically abt the films he grew up watching. They created our prevailing aesthetic of film, and now something has come along where those auteurist views don't work. It's a pov that developed in a very specific time and place.
