was just listening to street fight and the dude made the same point about QT movies seeming better because of our shit movie culture
we could have movies this interesting every week without the misogyny or the crap nostalgia, but no you people enjoy super heroes

Those aren't the problem

yea. i think the disney monopoly that incubates the superhero movies is the problem not the movies themselves. also i think a lot of interesting movies do come out still in spite of it

these are all good points. I was just being lazy with the superhero gripe
I think the problem is that only a handful of people are allowed to make movies in the style QT makes them
so when people see a QT movie and the shots last longer than two seconds, or a scene lasts four minutes and doesn’t end with a bang, or there are some non-supernatural adults talking about their lives, then the moviegoer says hey I must be at one of those good movies, this must be a QUALITY MOVIE that I think is great
QT would be the dregs of a decent movie culture, a hack, but our world is such garbage he’s a genius
I think that's an interesting approach to hating on him that I felt 10 years ago, except that this one's great in ways his 90s work was too when there wasnt that same context and it stands out as such, whereas his biggest mainstream/boxoffice hits/oscar-winners have been during the superhero era and function similar to superhero movies with implausibility and good/evil stakes and are pastiches of proto-superhero genre-oversaturating westerns - the real outlier that points to artist vs hack is Death Proof coming after Spiderman starting the problem and before MCU solidified it and everyone shitting on it for most of the same things this one's lauded for - plus when the kinds of artistically progressive movies it seems like youre hoping for are accessible via the mainstream - the Suspiria remake, PTA, recent Malicks - theyre not recognized as such by mainstream or arthouse audiences

just kinda digging yourself deeper you have to get past studio system and execs and also how this superhero wave isn't all that different from 80s/90s action movies before you can start on how culture sucks, since tv in general, and horror are both consistently putting out genuinely interesting and creative material and talent is consistently getting some money to create

lol you're trashing superhero movies, a huge director who makes stuff UNlike the other popular stuff, and acting like moviegoers are just fooled into thinking they like his movies?

lol at the faith in QT-style movies that don't exist being almost certainly all better than QT movies. Like a condescension from a non-existent future.

I’m really talking about visual and narrative style
most horror movies are shot like superhero movies, and so when you have a movie that isn’t shot that way people think it’s far more special than it is
I don’t think anyone is being duped into liking QT. His contemporaries just make him look like a genius. The idea that he’s a genius is what I’m sick of.

that’s pretty much accurate
I think we could have a much better movie culture than we do. I think our movies are appallingly bad.
like, in my movie culture someone like Miranda July would get money thrown at her to make a movie every year
and she would makemovies with long takes and non superheroes talking about their lives
