About The Last Duel not doing well in theaters. In fact, he knows it's an excellent movie. It's just another thing ruined by those dastardly Millennials:

“I think what it boils down to — what we’ve got today [are] the audiences who were brought up on these loving cellphones. The millennian [sic] do not ever want to be taught anything unless you’re told it on a cellphone.”

A Corncob posted:

“This is a broad stroke, but I think we’re dealing with it right now with Facebook. This is a misdirection that has happened where it’s given the wrong kind of confidence to this latest generation, I think.”

A Corncob posted:

"We all thought it was a terrific script. And we made it. You can’t win all the time. I’ve never had one regret on any movie I’ve ever made. Nothing. I learned very early on to be your own critic. The only thing you should really have an opinion on is what you just did. Walk away. Make sure you’re happy. And don’t look back. That’s me.”

Ridley Scott does long podcast interview talking about wide range of things related to the movie, criticism in general, and his history with movies. He talks about past critics of his early work and his mindset towards public and professional criticism. Oh also at some point he mentioned millennials for a few seconds.

Headline: Ridley Scoot blames movie performance on millennials!!!

I just don't want to pay money to see anything with big name actors anymore. Lurch, Ben Aflack, and China's Matt Damon can go gently caress themselves on a yacht.

I like Ridley Scott movies tho so I'll probably end up watching this on an airplane or TBS.

Guys, this is our fault.

It was our responsibility to go watch this movie in theaters, and we let them down. Think how much more money Ridley Scott, the actors, and Disney would have made if we went to see it.

I think Ridley Scott likes being known as the guy who cast a fat Russell Crowe as Robin Hood, and a very white Joel Egerton as Ramses II.

I think the problem has to be someone other than Ridley Scott. Its unfeasible that he could make a poo poo movie.
Also it is in no way related to Matt Damon fatigue.

Isn't this the movie that centers around a guy being falsely accused of raping a woman and he has to fight a duel to prove his innocence? Sounds like incel bait to me.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I'll probably watch it at some point. His historical movies are anything but but they're always good looking and often entertaining
