I have, I just didn't care for a lot of the things called masterpieces.

I have some schooling in film theory and I can appreciate why they are masterpieces (except for the ones with shaky cam. buy a loving tripod so we can see your "art"), but seeing yet another divorce or yet another poorly framed mental health analogy just didn't interest me. And the sexual stuff is broadly uninteresting (Every single "sex as a metaphor" film I've ever seen loving sucked at doing it. Yes, even that one).

At best a lot of them seem like tearjerk porn for rich kids - "oh, these poor people with their real lives. oh, im crying and feel genuinely emotionally connected to this experience of schizophrenia".

I'd really like to see the viewing list for these classes, what courses are showing all divorce and disease movies but no cool poo poo? Seventh Seal, Hitchcock stuff, Network, there are so many oldass "masterpieces" of filmmaking that are super enjoyable today

I gotta admit, an intro to film course that shows nothing but Noah Baumbach and Duplass Brothers would be pretty funny

There’s at least one TV movie that I watched in class

Actually, this still sticks in my craw after all these years. Odysseus was raped by Circe and Calypso. He was held against his will and didn’t get much of a choice whether or not to sleep with them. I’m still mad that the kids in my class treated it like him sleeping around

I'm still mad that my teacher couldn't use the pronunciation guide IN THE BOOK to correctly pronounce names. Instead she went with "silica" and "chi-bar-us" so the whole class read it out loud incorrectly.

The first time I heard someone say "powned" it pissed me off. I always thought the reason "pwned" was funny had a lot to do with it being an unpronounceable word, something so dumb and broken, contributing to the irony of saying someone got "owned" while making oneself look like an idiot in doing so. When I would read that in forums, my brain would just like substitute a "krssh" sound or something.

I also never heard anyone say "nes" or "snes" until a few years ago, but people I guess have been sounding out the acronyms? And differently, as I've heard: Ness and Snezz

Well my uh, foo-woah is that: I don't like things being pronounced when I feel they shouldn't be.

Each letter is pronounced individually, unless it's part of an emulator name, e.g. NESticle.

What Marvel movies mostly are is formulaic. (I mean that more as a description than as a criticism. There's a long long tradition of formula-based entertainment and there's really nothing wrong with it.) And either that formula works for you or it doesn't. It mostly does for me, and while I'd be hard-pressed to call more two, maybe three of the MCU films genuinely good, they're pretty much all an enjoyable way to waste a couple hours after Thanksgiving dinner or whatever.

I don't think the argument that they're strangling out all the actual good movies we could be seeing holds much weight because, again, it's easier to get your artistic vision out there than it ever has been, and the problem with that is that your artistic vision is probably terrible.

I like them more than they really have any right to because of nostalgia, felt because of the comics I bought out of order, translated to Finnish, from a second-hand bookshop, with coins in a currency that doesn't exist anymore.

And yeah you are spot on with the second point.

I'm just gonna come clean and admit that I have literally 20+ years of education and practice in film history, theory and production, everything from the baby bachelor to the big PhD, and this entire conversation was batshit from word one

There is not a worldwide reservoir of creative action or possibility that gets tapped out because some people watch something that you think is garbage or because the funding dries up

Art is gonna art.

I have bad news for you, there are kids making poo poo on TikTok that is Orson Welles worthy at this very moment, despite how many times they've seen Ant Man, and if you don't believe that, you haven't watched enough Orson Welles

Film is going to survive in many different ways and in many different places, regardless

Again, please look to Jon Favreau for exactly what I'm talking about, this is a guy who went from making backroom indies to making some of the most influential stuff on the market, and he -decided- of his own accord to follow the path he has to tell the stories he wants to now

Neither he or I give a poo poo if you think The Mandalorian is trash, that's still art and it is good for him to do that

Sure, yeah, but there's nine other nominated films on that list and none of them are comic book trash, so uh

Looks like people are still making appreciated art, recognized for actual artistry

How'd they even manage to make these films, I thought Disney was stealing all the creative effort and money???

Also if you think CODA won because of garbage taste it's actually you with the garbage taste hth

drat Ten whole movies in a year, what an embarrassment of riches. Let's drop that half those movies blew. So as long as we get some real "Art" tiktoks I guess we can just let Disney run roughshod over the industry. That's okay we've got ART, Hell I'll get a camera pay for it with ART, pay the crew in ART, and then get distribution from how ART my film is. Too bad they never taught you about money when you were pissing it away on a degree that clearly isn't getting you nothing.

But according to you Disney has all the money and ran rough as roughshod over the whole industry, yet the arm of the industry saddled with the job of highlighting the best of the year said nah, no thanks, none of your poo poo is up to par?

Do you think those ten movies, whittled down from hundreds upon hundreds, were made at Disney's behest too?

I think it's not a good idea for you to throw around accusations about how money works in the film industry, because you seem to have a severely fundamental misconception about what Disney wants and/or cares about when it comes to media.

I'm also well paid, so gently caress off.
