I will beat Ridley Scott with any device he likes if it leads to him making no further films.

Ridley Scott movies tend to be really slow. Sometimes they have a payoff, like Alien. Most of the times they feel like watching potatoes grow in poo poo, like Hannibal.

I can't prove this because I dont think I've seen all of his movies, but I'm not sure Ridley Scott's ever made a bad one.

Black Rain?

I would say that Sir Ridley has a pretty mixed record especially post-2000. The Counselor was received very poorly, the 2010 Robin Hood is also pretty roundly hated. Exodus was poorly reviewed.

I personally think Gladiator and Hannibal are bad but maybe most people like them, and I like Prometheus OK but a lot of people hate it. I couldnt get through Covenant. He's a good director in that his movies look nice but I think he's clearly past it and still just rolling from inertia.

Prometheus was an interesting idea and had some decent body horror involved, but so much of it was riding on Alien nostalgia. It also made the entire story weaker by explaining the xenomorph origin as the product of a crazed android playing God with alien lifeforms.

Ridley Scott needs to make Metroid. Starring Daisy Ridley. And find someone called Scott Daisy to play Ridley.

Post credits scene has Princess Daisy played by Daisy Scott

I saw green knight in theaters and there wasn't a trailer for this. If you can't get a trailer for your knight movie in front of the most highly anticipated knight movie in a while that sounds like a you problem, not a millennial problem.

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.

Every Ridley Scott movie is bad in some major way, with the possible exception of Alien, The Duellists, and Gladiator.

Millennials are like 40 years old now but many still insist on reacting to tepid comments like Scott's with the inflated outrage of scolded children.

The Duellists is a really loving cool movie. Its kinda but slow but every scene looks like an oil painting and the duels are actually sick.

Yeah, it' really a work of art. Much like Alien. These scenes are just amazing to look at, regardless of what is happening on screen.

According to calvinism, the chosen are allowed to rape and murder the nonchosen with impunity since the latter group automatically goes to Hell anyway.

So if the guy wins the duel, that doesn't mean he didn't rape anyone, just that he's a chosen and allowed to rape whoever he wants so long as they're a nonchosen.

Meanwhile theists want me to believe that a woman can't be raped because God said a woman's sole duty on Earth is to have sex with men and produce offspring, so women who refuse to fulfil this duty are the real rapists or some poo poo like that.
