Tweetweek: Directors vs Marvel, Regina King, Parasite, and More...
Wednesday, October 23, 2019 at 9:00PM All anybody on twitter has been talking about of late is Martin Scorsese vs Marvel (which was very funny until it was sad but some good tweets came of it) but before we get to the auteurs vs the "oppressed" corporate product (lol) some Parasite enthusiasm and other random topics...
The best sexts I’ve ever gotten are friends sending me #Parasite raves after they leave the theater

Dear Filmmakers, Please. I beg of you. Stop making your Awards films so darn long. Us film critics are going hungry & dehydrated, all for the sacrifice of doing our jobs properly. Love, this starving, thirsty & sleepy critic

Never forget that even though she fell to her death the Ice Princess in BATMAN RETURNS still managed to do her damn job on the way out—she still lit that Gotham Christmas tree, dammit. A real pro.#WaybackWednesday #batmanreturns pic.twitter.com/mo83vJvniB

Wired: Marvel movies need to be sexier
Ken Loach, who is EIGHTY FUCKING THREE, just made a film about the gig economy & zero hour contracts. He is a bigger hero than Captain America. He is literally using his art to fight for you. If your response to his opinion is to bag him out, you've been fucking brainwashed.

Assuming Martin Scorsese, whose World Cinema Project is preserving and restoring underseen masterpieces by directors of color, is racist for not liking Marvel, which has had 22 out of 23 films so far centered on white people, is certainly A Take

Nothing that any director has said about a Marvel movie is nearly as mean as Gwyneth Paltrow's refusal to remember which ones she's in.

I am obsessed with Parasite. Movie of the decade.
I agree with Queen Anne. I love that film.
I respect the likes of Scorsese and Coppola but when it comes to the films of the MCU!!!! They're wrong.
Parasite is definitely one of the all time greats. My friends are sick of me raving about it for weeks now ahhaha
Dana Stevens--Queen.
While I admired "Parasite," I didn't like it all that much. Perhaps I need to see it again. But it's certainly very well made.
It's cool if they think Marvel and MCU sucks. It's even cool if they think it's not good for cinema overall. It's not appropriate, elegant or even acceptable how much they humiliate and degrade the movies, the people who work there and the people who enjoy them, though.
There are other ways of talking about this, besides looking like an old snob screaming at the kids skate boarding in the sidewalk.
Also, I'm pretty sure the same people who love Goodfellas and Goodfather nowadays are also part of the ones that went to the cinema to watch Avengers: Endgame.
