Did the big brains at Netflix unironically think a guy who had to remake Infernal Affairs (The Departed) without writing the screenplay (LOL) was going to win them an Oscar? He just Told actors were to stand and even JJ Abrams could have won that Oscar.
The only award that The Irishman would have won is an award for curing chronic insomnia.
Scorsese is a clown who couldn't even win an Oscar after riding Paul Shraders Jock for decades and only knows how to tell actors were to stand. Then he wen't on the lecture people on how they are bad for watching marvel and how it isn't "real cinema".
Can't wait for Killers of The Flower Moon to flop and this fraud to finally Disappear.
It's a great pleasure watching this hack go down and get humbled.
Go remake Infernal Affairs 2 & 3 (without writing the screenplay) you fraud.
Netflix to Stop Greenlighting “Vanity Projects” Like Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman
>Less The Irishman, more Red Notice
yay!
The Oscars are literally worthless.
Who won best picture in 2020? In fact name a single nominee in 2020 without looking it up.
That was the same year that Endgame, a movie with a 350million dollar budget, multiple award winning actors, that was the culmination of 11 years and 21 films, in something that had never been done before, and was all anyone talked about for the whole year, winning 70 other awards, was nominated but didn't win "Best achievement in visual effects."
They're literally not worth the brass they're made of.
The winner was Parasite btw.
>Less vanity projects, more propaganda
But of course
-69% YTD
The Departed is really well directed though.
Scorsese won that Oscar for his whole career, The Departed just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
Jesus, the only two options aren't shitty wannabe blockbusters and masturbatory vanity projects with no oversight. There's a middle ground.
Maybe if the execs/producers actually did their job, netflix would have won a best picture oscar by now like apple who managed to do it in their first real year of competing.
for the record, netflix should've won for Beasts of No Nation but it's too sad to talk about that and they never made anything that good ever again
go woke go broke
It's interesting to me that as Scorcese gets older, his budgets and the scale of his productions skyrocket. He's like 80, but Irishman was a massive endeavor, and I've met people that worked on Killers of the Flower Moon and they said the production was massive
Apple were sensible and just bought a good indie film instead of gambling on massive budget projects
Scorsese needs to stop making mob movies. Genre has already peaked, all mob movies have the same shit in them
>"we’re just breaking balls" scene
>small argument or joke turns into a big conflict and usually results in someone getting killed
>someone rats out
>Mobster is a heckin good family man that’s just providing
people say that, but it also just is a good movie. its not like they gave him the oscar out of pity
>Mobster is a heckin good family man that’s just providing
You can't be describing any Scorcese movies
I watched both and Red Notice was a refreshingly fun action adventure movie. The Irishman was a slog with a couple of fun scenes. De Niro was also too old to do that role and was too italian to play it in the first place.
Casino is good but he had a great writer for that.
I liked the Irishman but even I'll say it was a vanity project, he should have cast younger actors instead of trying to use De Niro and deepfake him to look young.
True, but let's not act like the best scenes in the Departed weren't ripped straight from Infernal Affairs.
>actual art is now considered "vanity projects"
What the fuck happened to the west?
Martin (marty) Scorsese is the best filmmaker (director) in America (USA) working today (June 11th). Netflix (Netflix) should be happy the made a movie (film) for them
The Departed >>>>>>>>>> Internal Affairs
cry about it
Was this before or after they gave Noah Baumbach and Greta gerwig a 140M budget.
You have to go back.
>Martin Scorsese
Why is this jewish boomer even still a big name. He hasn't done anything good in a decade, and two decades before that.
