Guy who takes pride in the art he makes regardless of quality prefers works that are more artist driven than those driven for maximum profits! In other news, sky is blue!

I apologize if this was posted earlier by anyone, but I thought Patrick Willems had a pretty solid look at this whole situation:
Lengthy, but worth watching if the subject interests you.

Who's killing cinema? That's easy. Cinema is killing cinema. Going to the movies in 2023 is a mostly bad product. It's expensive and inconvenient. You have to sit in a big dark room with a bunch of annoying idiots, it costs a lot for a ticket and even more for food. You can't even pause it if you need a piss. There is zero point in watching a drama or comedy or romance in the cinema. You get a much better product if you watch that content at home on streaming or whatever. The only movies where it's arguably actually worth going to a cinema for are special FX laden "event movies". They are the ones that take advantage of the big screen and the big sound system, and it's fun watching them with your friends. Everything else? no thanks.

But his quote has nothing to do with what he makes, only what he likes to watch so I dunno what the point of that is.

IDK it reminds me of people complaining there's only WWE style wrestling these days when there's more accessible options than ever. Maybe these guys just don't want to look. Infact a Scorcese movie is out and is (deservedly) going to rake in all the Year-end rewards.

I think Killers is incredible and the best for me by a bit and would love that but feels like Oppenheimer and pieces involved are going to be a heavy betting favorite for a while. I don’t have any issue with that either though lol, sneaky great movie year this year if you ask me.

How about we get someone with some sense, what does Scott Steiner think?

Why is Nell dumping on the Matrix? It's as much a 'superhero movie' as her fave Everything Everywhere All At Once is.
True. You're not going to like everything; some stuff just doesn't hit. She's well within her right. But when the directors/writers of EEAaO take great inspiration from and wanted to make their own go at something they view as "one of the best films ever made" - not even a 'superhero movie' caveat - it's very strange to thumb your nose at it.

Being fair I assume she was broadly talking about superhero movies and The Matrix basically is one, particularly the later movies.
That said, "Some of them are good but they're not what I want to do and they didn't emotionally impact me," feels like a perfectly reasonable opinion? Albeit kind of a weird and outdated one given how there absolutely is room for other stuff right now given superhero movies haven't been the big draws this year anyway.

Jodie is right on.
Some of the most innocuous comments these artists make get turned into bizarre strawmen. They aren’t attacking the movies dude. They make it so clear what they are talking about and so many people miss the point lol
