  That’s a conclusion for sure.

    One you don’t like and in turn, you can have yourself a nice hot cup of “too bad”. We’re sick of immature idiots like you defending an exploitative industry that has monopolized an entire art form, enabled the rape of countless innocent actors and actresses because of that monopoly, and does nothing but churn out prefabricated, hollow, meaningless, propaganda-filled garbage. We don’t want your fucking crap anymore. Shove it.

  Say the guy who thinks everyone who doesnt enjoy the same thing as him is a Trump-voting fascist.

  Please. Dont generalise like that. To anyone.

    Says the guy who doesn’t see that fascism is enabled by anti-intellectualist mindsets that make people reject movies and other media that require a modicum of thought and intellectual participation on the audience’s part.

    Grow the fuck up and stop getting defensive when called out on it. You’re wrong and Martin Scorsese is right whether you want him to be or not.

      And thinking everyone should think the same and enjoy the same thing is a big step into fascistic thinking. You might tell yourself that forcing a modicum of thought and intellectual participation on people is for a good cause. But you arent, in these comments at least, a good judge of what intellectual participation is.

        Which is what you do when you do something wrong and then demand everyone has to conform to your way of thinking because you portray yourself as an ignorant common man standing up to the out-of-touch academic in the ivory tower who tells you facts you don’t want to hear.

        You might think of thinking and intellectual investment as egregious violations of your human rights, but that’s not how the real world works. You are an adult with responsibilities who is helping to run a democracy, and as such, you do in fact have to think and consume content that helps you think. It’s called growing up and you and the rest of the United States badly need to do it before Trump and his little cult exploits your refusal to stop being a child to commit genocide.

        This shit happening with movies is having far-reaching effects throughout all of society and you see it as well as we do; you just don’t want to take responsibility for it.

        You are a child.
