Rant. Apologies ahead of time.
Is anyone else getting tired of this ongoing debacle over genre movies and superhero movies not being "cinema"? I think Martin Scorsese is dead wrong.
The Shining is one of the best movies ever made.
The Exorcist is one of the best movies ever made.
The Dark Knight is one of the best movies ever made.
Ghostbusters is one of the best movies ever made.
There are good films and bad films, and that's really it, imo. Everything is cinema. To say that Taxi Driver is more "cinematic" than Joker, or Goodfellas is more "cinematic" than Jurassic Park, is just asinine to me.
