Of course he knew. It wasn't a secret when he gave Salva the chance.Oh god he produced Jeepers Creepers? I did not know that. Wonder how much he knew about the director being a pedophile because I hope its 0%.
I just finished my séance with William Shakespeare, greatest playwright to ever live, who is living in heaven and has been granted supreme knowledge of everything in the universe and beyond, and he said Marvel movies are dumb.

"I don't know that anyone gets anything out of seeing the same movie over and over again," the 80-year-old filmmaker said.
That assumes that young people only like stuff like MCU movies and nothing elseThese "old people" made the best movies ever. I think you mean young people have extremely poor taste because they watch anything and call it good, knowing absolutely nothing about filmmaking but worshipping it as long as it makes them laugh.
Lol
I know it's not going to be any good but I can't help but be curious.He pulled a Todd Phillips and renamed it Metropolis in order to secure the funding
Tall poppy syndrome.
Nope, you have to be on one side or the other. Only a madman could be fine with such an opinion and also enjoy MCU movies.Just like with Scorsese I see no problem with this opinion and I still thoroughly enjoy the marvel films and accept they are not trying to be what is considered cinema.
The bit at the end where he goes in on them is wrong though l.

If Marty and Coppola want to host a workshop on their own craft I'll sit down and listen. But their opinions on mass market popcorn flicks should be ignored, absolutely, and especially so when it's not even decent critique.These great directors who have made truly classic movies and work hard to preserve film should be ignored because they don't like the spandex people movies.
I'm just not seeing it. Sometimes when elders speak you should actually sit down and listen.
I wouldn't wish that movie on my worst enemy.
Considering some of the comments here, pretty sure some people do think something along those linesThis is such a wholesome and complimentary statement-as opposed to Coppola's and Scorsese's bitter, almost childlike dismissal of the entire success of the MCU. It's not like liking a Marvel movie excludes one from being able to watch a David Lynch movie.
Apocalypse Now is better than any Marvel movie but Redux is worse than any Marvel movie
What to do

I get where both are coming from, but their buddies Lucas and Spielberg basically popularized these types of movies. Star Wars and Raiders aren't necessarily high cinema. It's like complaining about musicals back in the day.
The landscape has changed. No one's going to pay a ton of money and deal with theater bullshit to see an intimate character study or a quiet drama. That sort of "prestige" stuff has moved to cable, while the mid-tier fare has been pretty much wiped out. I mean, if you're going to mourn anything, lament the loss of the B-movie.
Yeah but Spielberg is a bad artist, whereas these ones are good.
You must have not watched a lot of Scorsese movies because there is a pretty great variety. Plus, there is nothing wrong with an auteur continuing to make movies in the same vein in his career. Watch Silence, then watch Goodfellas and tell me about them being the same movies over and over.Scorsese says nothing is gained from making the same movies over and over again...Scorses's resume contains a crap load of mafia movies...using the same actors over and over...movies that mostly depict crime and murdering/violence...Yeah I understand where these guys are coming from - Marvel films can be compared fairly to rollar coaster rides but they can also be considered cinema.
Yeah, if i was criticizing a series of films i never watched, i too could make such a reductive comment.
Boomer is pretty much used to insult old people now 🤷🏽♂️What he says is arguable, but people here calling Coppola a boomer makes my head hurt.
