One could define Crispin Glover's hair as cinematic.
Great hair! Epic. Definitely takes propecia ...to be on safe side.
Forreal
Actually it’s propaganda
“Get your damn hands off my hair!”
🤣🤣🤣
One of the most underrated actors.
Why underrrated? I don't think i've seen many movies with him in them less than 10. What would you say are his greatest performances?
He was great in Back to the Future Part II!
@@skutsenkow this is a joke, right?
@@penske_material yes lol
@@skutsenkow ok lol
I remember when we wanted him as the Joker before Leto was cast.
He would have been outstanding playing the joker, but not in a movie like Suicide Squad, that was utter trash, and as amazing as Leto is as an actor, he didnt have much to work with......
I remember all the fanboys wanted him before Heath Ledger was cast.
@@CatLives9 I remember that well! I loved Heath as an actor and I dug the Idea of him doing it... But Glover was my first choice at the time. When I saw what Heath Looked like as the Joker, I knew it was all good. Crispen would have nailed it too...
F1rsttime_online I still think he would make a great Joker or maybe Riddler
@@captcrais101 Jim Carey stole the role a lot better by adding when he was the riddler therefore it would've been a lot more easier going into the joker role. I now heard he's reprising his role in The Mask so it would have been nice to see him as the Joker however in The Mask he will steal that part again for sure.
Crispin sounds like a really interesting guy, would like to see him in more films.
Rob D have you seen Willard?
I get the feeling that he has all but been blacklisted due to BTTF lawsuit
@@leelohaskin7941 Maybe briefly, but he was in a lot of big movies(The People vs Larry Flynt, Charlie's Angels, Alice in Wonderland, Beowolf) well after that lawsuit. Any actors out there would actually be appreciative because Glover's lawsuit helped actors from their likeness being used going forward without their consent or the consent of their estate if they had passed away. Clauses like that have been part of SAG's collective bargaining agreements.
This guy has aged well.

Was just telling my mom the same thing.
All these comments and no one is addressing the one notable thing. Crispin Glover is the most well dressed person to have entered this room since the shows inception.
And he actually thinks before talking
He’d look better with smaller shirt collars/ thinner ties / a jacket with thinner lapels ..
I have seen several interviews that he has done, and in every one of them, he is dressed like that.
True
Exactly. And he gives insightful answers. He reminds me of the actors from back in the day (50s 60s & 70s) who actually wore a suit & tie on talk shows & actually had interesting shit to say. One of the worst displays of sloppiness & an over-all "i dont give a shit" attitude is adam sandler...have u seen his physical appearances on late night talk shows???? He looks like he just roled out of bed. i wouldnt even wear his attire on a casual date, let alone national tv. Pretty embarrassing. welcome to the 2000's.
I think that Crispin is one of the most brilliant and yet over-looked actors of our time.
Most absolutely is!
@@Leeohlin89 What is it about Crispin that you like the most. I find his face rather odd, but five second after he opens his mouth, I am entranced. Can't take my eyes off him. He might be an extra --- fulestial. Magician from the 9th moon of Saturn. Who knows what really is... or is up to. Sincerely.
I don’t.

This Dude looks great for 55, He is the same age as Nicolas Cage and Russell Crowe and unfortunately the years haven't been as kind to them
@nikto45 I guess we’ll believe you since you said it/
Of course the truth is his superior genetics!/
Lol. Martin Scorsese masterclass as an ad to start this off
Best answer ive seen someone give on this topic as well as he’s actually correct
True!.
Broader audience doesn't care about artistic way of movies, the movie should be relatable (character and emotion wise) / should have typical moral values, as we see Kubrick's movies aren't the highest grossing but Marvel's are. Because they appel to much larger audience and do what it IS MADE to do, which is ENTERAIN THE BROADER AUDIENCE, i love Scorsese and marvel btw, the mistack is to compare those two, it's just like comparing DC and Marvel some people relate to something some doesn't, doesn't necessarily mean others are idiots. In Scorsese's way Marvel may not be that enjoyable and that's quiet alright but that doesn't mean Marvel is bad or for that matter any comic book movies. Peace
Infinity war and Endgame are the greatest cinematic experiences of my life. Love Marty's work like Gangs of NY and Aviator. (Daniel Day was robbed. The pianist? Pfft) Movies are supposed to hold an audiences attention. Marty is just a bit jealous he will never hold that many people's attention like the MCU just demonstrated.
marty is mad they didnt invite him to the premier or something stupid. some hundred year old family feud over a sheep back in sicily.
Fortune Maker
Bullshit. He’s not jealous, he actually feels that way. So do I. What’s my excuse, then?
Glover is absolutely correct. He’s calling out the entertainment industrial complex while and moreover the military industrial complex and he did this while sitting down with Collider. Good look
Perhaps it’s true indeed, indeed/
But people with functional brains are rarely deceived!/
Top Gun and Heartbreak Ridge are good examples of propaganda used to induce, or sway most of society, to enlist into the Navy and Marines, whereby, the movies also indicated there is glory in war. The other issue is questioning hollywood and it's corporate decisions made by those in charge with alternative agendas etc. ... Well met :-)
@@inzane1260 Watch how sjw nerds have made corporate produts their own political camp, because Disney etc. appeals to the woke crowd. It's capitalism/neoliberalism to the core. It's designed to work like that.

Crispin is such an interesting person and artist
this guy should have had a much bigger career but I'm glad he's still around
Glover is too interesting for collider.
They were actually very respectful to him.
Imagine if Crispin got that Joker role and killed and he got nominated or won the Oscar. His career would’ve been shot up through the roof.
It's funny you say that because I've always thought he would be a great joker, even before the new one that came out with Joaquin I've always thought he would be a great choice, ten times better than Jared Leto was at least lol
I think he would 100% have done the joaquin phoenix version had he been offered it. Most likely it would have been fairly similar to joaquin.
I don't think Crispin is part of the tribe, despite what some uneducated people may assume when observing his peculiar, aqueline nose -- and I don't think he is fond of their *cough* propaganda. So .. I dont see him getting offered many significant roles.
We need more Crispin in films
Would totally love him as Joker.

@@rustymixer2886 maybe but he doesn't really have that kind of hard core Darkness like what's expected as a two-faced character
When I think of Glover in something of a horror film where scary Village pipe I think of the movie he did "Willard"
Funny that he mentions Joker. Scorsese was attached to produce that movie in the very early stages of development.
He also have Phillips some pointers
Scorsese's producer (Emma Tillinger who is the president of Scorsese's production company Sikelia Productions since 2006, and known for producing Wolf of Wall Street, Silence, and The Irishman) produced this Joker movie alongside Bradley Cooper and Todd Philips (who also directed), so even though Martin Scorsese supposedly 'backed out' personally as a direct producer of the film, he was still essentially still a part of it since his own company helped produce it.
Joker isn't a superhero movie.
@@budgiecat9039 yep vet true... He held Phipps hand through the production.... U can see it all over the screen, some of the shots were straight outta Martin Scorsese play book!
Joker doesn't really look like a superhero movie.
Scorsese's comments were specifically regarding MCU if I remember.
Wow. Well said Crispin Glover. I will definitely buy his book when it comes out.
CRISPIN GLOVER IS THE MAN!
He’ll always be Marty McFly’s dad to me.
Dopeboy Dow he’ll always be creepy thin man to me haha from Charlie’s angels
Once you see it, you can't unsee it.
He sounds like Bill Nye.
Omg I'm such a klutz, didn't realize until you mentioned it that it's Marty mcflys dad lol
And the best Andy Warhol
Him as The Two-Face and
Neil Patrick Harris as The Riddler is a dream!
*Him as the Joker is all I can see*
David Tennant should be The Riddler.
The two face 🤣
Paul Dano got the Riddler role now.
@@ochayethenoo
He will be amazing.
He didnt dismiss superhero genre, just marvel movies.
He was referring to superhero movies in general. The MCU was the question but Scorsese categorizes all superhero movies the same. I doubt he would think differently about Man of Steel or Justice League just because it's not marvel. They're all the same in his mind. Cinema junk food.
@@geo32573 well yeah thats truth. He doesn't believe entertainment is necessarily art. But i don't understand why so much controversy about it anyway..
G.V. pretty sure he wasn't talking about DC considering he was an EP for Joker when it was being developed.
@@geo32573 junk food? the stories of say the xmen had a lot to do with the civil rights movement. and many other Marvel characters are also based on topics such as abandonment, like spiderman and his parents leaving him.
Scorsese is the equivalent of an old man complaining about a younger generations music.
and it would help if he f ing watch one of the films before he opens his oldman mouth.
Sampson, please tell me you’re not that deep in denial. We’re really going to pretend the marvel movies are real movies? We’re really going there?
Like heath ledgers joker was as serious a character as his role in broke back mountain? We are really going to pretend there’s not a clear distinction?
Very intelligent interesting guy who got black listed to a point and we got to miss out on a lot more he could have done.
Crispin Glover would be a perfect Riddler.
Yes. And it should be the Riddler with "Jigsaw style" from Arkham City.
@@trcsonic The Riddler is fine the way he was. He doesn't need to rip off other villains. At his core, the character is just a thief who likes to send riddles to the authorities to make the "game" more enjoyable. With the exception Gotham, I've found all of his recent portrayals in and out of comics have been very lackluster.
Or scarecrow or the rat catcher
Man this is really getting milked to hell. It’s not that serious that we need to get everyone’s take.
I think it's important
I know right
They're running out of content so keeping this alive by asking everyone's opinion to feel good if they share the same view. Really makes me sick.
@Gravivector Well said.
Legit. Scorsese said it, hes right, end of
Him and David Lynch need go off and do their movie together! He was great in wild at heart
Just realised no one's ever worn a suit before
I could see Crispin Glover as Arthur Fleck in an alternate universe.
Have you seen him in Willard? It wouldn't surprise me if it was an influence on Phoenix.
@@sharifmansour9678 😂 Nah. I remember Glover back in the 80s. Let's just say he's matured. I saw him on Letterman decades ago...he had no influence on JP, lol.
he has,huge....even on river phoenix...
Crispin Glover is delightfully strange. It’s good to see him 😊 .
I would really love to see what Crispin would do with the Riddler as opposed to Jim Carrey's over the top buffoonery.
TheOwlCreek he’d be a fantastic Riddler, I think. I could see him pulling off the restrained anger and superiority that Nygma does so well.
Jim Carrey did it exactly the way Joel Schumacher wanted
Scorsese is a Mozart or Beethoven of cinema. Yes, I put him on that level. Cinema moves him in his soul. He would say Nicki Minaj or Katy Perry or Miley Cyrus is not music. Martin is on another level with his craft.
Captain America the winter solider could be used to argue against this point
With the exposure of the dangers of the surveillance state
Ironman 3 tackled PTSD in very realistic way if I may add, and Civil War also has good mesage behind it.
@@MCShvabo lmao... barely. For Iron Man's final solo film, Iron Man 3 was pretty whack. You can't compare Tony Stark's PTSD with Jokers mental health issues.
IM3 had like 2 vague PTSD moments in the movie.
Civil War was nothing like the comic version. They were throwing one liners around throughout the entire airport fight.... throwing all the suspense out the window.
Civil War has not aged well at all.
The jokes are tired after repeat viewings, most of the fight choreography is tired looking and regurgitated, like black widows "legs around the neck move"
Bruce Wayne's trauma in Batman v Superman was world's better than any of the Marvel movies you just mentioned.
Captain America Winter Soldier is practically the only good MCU movie that still holds up oh, because it didn't use comedy relief to sell the audience
@@9776722 civil war and infinity war hold up imo
@@jordansherrick8213 the humor in Civil War doesn't hold up.

Infinity War has bad holes....
How does Bruce Banner know Thanos is coming and has a large army, when Bruce has no memory of what the Hulk experiences?
Crispin still has a great head of hair. Def an interesting guy & a pretty cool career. I wish he did bttf 2 b4 he said no & they chopped his role to bits. Glad he won that lawsuit too bc that is creepy af they put basically his face on another actor. A lot of shady stuff by gale & zemeckis like I believe they hired stoltz just to kill time til they could get first choice fox ( which tg they did bc fox is Marty. ) stoltz gave 1 interview in 94 saying he was told to play it serious & they only did one take on anything close up on him. If that's true thats dirty pool. Its sandbagging bc then they went to the producers & said " look hes not getting the laughs " if they told him to be serious then that is so messed up. Stolz claimed he would have played it funnier. Also I think they got turned off when they did the read through & the cast was asked what did they think. Stolz said " I think it's a tragedy. Marty has different memories then his entire family. " I never thought about it that way. I guess I just cant take it too seriously or not a lot would fit. His parents were wealthier so would they really live in the same house albeit much nicer inside if George was so much confident & successful. Also would the older kids still live home since they also were more successful. Dave went from working at a macdonalds to an office wearing a buisness suit. Would biff really be working for George after he bullied him for years & tried to assault Lorraine?? I know it was the end & they had to wrap it up & wanted to show everyone at once in a scene to show how different Marty's parents & older siblings were bc of George & Lorraine being totally more confident happy & in love people. Also I always had the impression Marty found doc maybe to work for him & looked to spend more time w/ doc than his dad or older brother bc they were kinda losers.
Less is more . We appreciate actors like Crispin because they pick and choose carefully. He has a lot of pedigree and integrity as an actor . If your a true film enthusiast you respect that . I’m glad he isn’t all over the place because that would be boring . It’s way more fun to find out a great actor Is in something you didn’t expect .
Honestly, he put it very well. A cinephile would genuinely 'get' what Scorsese meant when he said these are not cinema. He wasn't putting down marvel movies, but the look and feel of not only marvel movies but also DC movies lately have been fairly 'plastic'. One needs a certain time period to recover from an epic experience . Harry Potter became mythical and so did star wars and Jurassic park because they were a few movies spaced out over a couple of decades. Scorsese criticized the kind of movies this system of movie diarrhea produced when they release 25 movies in 10 years. Imagine how it would've been if Marvel was made with great cinematographers and meticulously built practical sets, shot on imax or 70mm and condensed into 5 movies primarily covering Tony, Steve, Thor and Black Widow. You wouldn't have needed 20 movies to set up Thanos. An example within Disney itself is Pixar. Since they are not allotted even 10% of what Marvel are, the entire Pixar group focuses on making ONE movie. And thats why every single pixar movie is 10 times greater in terms of story than the marvel ones. Theres a reason why Tarantino hasn't made 25 films in his career. Look at how they are killing star wars by making a movie every year. Theres no patience. I'm sure if you ask Marty specifically he would definitely consider movies like Dark Knight as pure cinema.Screw me but I honestly get what he's saying. Everyone these days just take these opinions personally before giving any thought but this guy made Taxi Driver. And that's why I will respect his opinion and at least give it a thought
Pretty spot on. I was mostly bummed when Disney bought up the MCU and Star Wars. I was really hoping for something a little darker and grittier with more character development. The MCU in particular is completely over saturated. I don’t think they will hold up to time very well at all, not like the dark knight does, but more like George Cloonies Batman lol.
Marvel released 2-3 movies in each year for 10 long years - I don’t know what you are saying about not having patience. All the movies have different voices and take on it as they are made by different (mostly indie) directors. Just because it’s not a dark, mobster type of movies doesn’t mean it’s not worthy to be called cinema. Art is subjective and I think people who think they’re the genius of film world is being so elitist and pretentious about this. I honestly think all these talk is just about money and clout - some of their movies is just not getting the attention like the a marvel franchise. I say make great movies since they seem to be revered filmmakers, and the audience will follow.
Lucas's director friends made funny of him when he told them he was making Star Wars.When it was a success they were so critical about the doors that kind of movie would open for cinema.They hate any kind of movie like that.They believe that is only one way to make cinema.
Scorsese whilst a very good director is very much a one trick pony and has limited range unlike say someone like Speilberg who has proven he can make a quality movie in practically every genre that exists.
Harry potter sucks lol
Spoken eloquently by Crispin. Better than what Marty said.
No he didn't, rambling idiot
It really wasn't
He actually has the balls to tell the truth.
To define comics by just their creation period (pushed love for country), is to ignore the silver (pushed science) and bronze (pushed diversity) ages of comics.
(Pushed is a strong word, more like, weaved the lesson into the story, like any good parable.)
Lol that line about corporate entertainment media went right over Collider heads
I see Crispin, I click. Crispin writes a book? I'll buy!
🙂🤩
Under a minute into this clip and I have a feeling I’ll have no idea where he’s going to go with this ...
You are not alone 💯
Neither does he.
He goes off on a tangent. I do that as well. I have to reign myself in allot.
it's pretty simple really. he used it to plug a book he's writing about how US media pushes out pro-US fascist propaganda. That we are righteous protectors of the world and should regard our global military dominance as our divine duty to protect the world from the horrors of communism and socialism.
@@Hobodeluxe960 That's ridiculous...
...ly accurate. ;)
Wow, he looks amazing.
Looks like Cris stopped aging when he hit about 38 years old or so
Very wise words 2:54 thank you Crispin Glover.
Crispin is VERY careful about how he words things. He knows the industry too well. Obviously. But man when people talk like he does, the public calls them "conspiracy theorists"
or public calls them weirdos as in his case
Did he piss off hollywood or something he is a great actor that never got the roles even ones he was perfect for
Yes... plus he's weird. He sued Robert Zemeckis.
He's a nightmare of a pill head
@@legend3061 he looks pretty damn healthy and aged incredibly well if he's a pill head. I'd be much more inclined to believe that those are just stories that have been put out there to discredit him by certain Hollywood factions. He's a very good actor and had he been more of a yes man to Hollywood then he'd probably been in a lot more big movies than just Back to the Future, Charlie's Angels and Hot Tub Time Machine.

Audio quality on point. Those mics are F-ING GREAT.
Then why doesn't Scorsese do a noir superhero movie, for whatever company, add his own personal touch
Personally I'd love to see what he could do with Question
Has he even seen Winter Soldier or Civil War? Or The Incredible Hulk or Ant-Man or.... ? These are not movies about reinforcing the police state.
Yes they are. Watch again.
Zig Bingham winter soldier is literally about not trusting the current political system
@LokiTheRevenger You must be American.
@@Lexpionage it's about American exceptionalism. You may not have seen it but your brain did (to paraphrase plinkett).
@LokiTheRevenger in Civil war, government wanted avengers to stop "being the policeman of the world". But guess who comes in and show em they are wrong? It's a guy named "captain america", and all that conflict was all by a mole (zemo), and cap was right!. So again, by trying to appeal to the rest of the world. The message is still there. Hey world, wait till america comes saves you!! If you cant see that, you better.
I think Marvel balance the tone pretty well. And don't worry if you don't like them, majority of human beings like them and they are cinema.
I think any movie that's enjoyable or entertaining is cinema. Hell one can say jack and Jill is cinema. It's god awful sure but because how awful it is you can say it's entertaining you can laugh and make fun of it. There is a thing called bad movie night and I think that states it enough
Wow!! This is the 1st time I've ever heard someone have the same opinion on superhero movies as me!
He would be a perfect riddler for any DC movie
He wants to play joker you can tell and you know what he'd probably kill it
We want him to play Joker too. If only there will be someone who can and will hire him.

I think it was Lane or Layne, actually.
@@frizzyred1292 Damn good movie. Still relevant and great performances.
Great interview.
This guy needs to be in a Christopher Nolan film. Perfect match
No, Scorsese didn't imply propaganda. He literally meant what he said. Those movies have nothing to do with the art of cinema. The camera has no purpose, there is no mise-en-scène, no composition, the cinematography is awful, the editing is bad. None of the tools of cinema are used to tell the story in an interesting visual way. And the fact that nobody understands what Scorsese said is indicative of the lack of knowledge from people of how cinema distinguishes itself from other art forms, which it's ok if you don't, you're not stupid because of that. But you can't deny that Scorsese's statement is objectively true. Imagine comparing Edgar Allan Poe to the chick who wrote Twilight. Nobody has a problem admitting Twilight is bad, but how many understand why? How many understand it is bad not because of its subject matter (a gothic romance) but because it's badly written?
And it's not impossible to make a good movie from a superhero comic-book. Example: Sam Raimi's Spiderman 2, in which each scene has more hearth and cinematic ideas than any movie in the MCU. And I have never read a superhero comic book, but I'm pretty sure they're way more cinematic than the MCU movies.
How embarrassing.

While I don’t necessarily agree with Scorsese ( whom I adore by the way ) We don’t have to get worked up about everything, and some things really, truly, are not that important. Sometimes it’s okay to not have an opinion, or to let others have a different opinion. There are far important things worth fighting for, and then there are what movies other people like and how that doesn’t affect you
No wiser words were spoken on the internet today. My respects sir.
Mcu is garbage is what Scorsese meant to say
He's absolutely spot on.
I'm not a fan of superhero movies, but you have to have true super powers to sit through one of the films he directs himself. I saw the one with the talking snail. He was nice to everyone afterwards and signed autographs.
Is Richard Donner’s ‘Superman’ 1978 considered cinema?
It's a masterpiece in my book
Crispin Glover is a legend
All Crispin had to say was, for just 1 example of the 20 odd marvel movies, captain marvel was bankrolled by the air force, a division of our military that sees 45% of female enlistees sexually assaulted during their service, and due to that among other things, is seeing lower enlistment numbers. When these movies are bankrolled by our defense department, they're literal propaganda if not overt. And in the case of captain marvel when they brought out like, a schoolbus full of female airforce officers at the premiere, it is overt. Interested to read Crispin's book.
library gary definite use of “soft power” for sure
Did he ever publish that book?
They said the same thing back in the days about Star Wars. Lucas's director friends made funny of him and when it was a success they were so critical about the doors that kind of movie opened for cinema.They hate any kind of movie like that.They believe that's only one way to make movies
except spielberg,spielberg said that it would be a great hit
Thing is, I love Marvel films; I'm also uncomfortable with the monopoly Disney are getting over the entertainment industry.
Scorsese was talking specifically about MARVEL movies, particularly the Avengers movies. The dumb host said "comic book movies", but I doubt that Scorsese would feel that way about Chris Nolan's Batman films
And it's obvious the hosts wanted Crispin to disagree with Scorsese based on the wording of the initial question and the meathead guy trying to lead Glover in saying "it's IN a cinema, so it is cinema" even though that is obviously not what Scorsese meant. But I'm glad that Glover not only agrees with Scorsese but goes further and calls those movies propaganda
would you call a commercial showed in cinema a cinema?
@@Woodsaras No, because that is a promotional advertisement. Just like you won't call mere trailers playing before the movie as "cinema". But the feature length video that follows those commercials, they are cinema. And once the movie trailers that played before the movie get their eventual release, they'll be cinema too.
I think the problem is the total lack of interesting scripts in recent years, EVERYONE should be happy that there are good stories to draw from and that in most cases have turned out to be decent movies or at least fun to watch. Many cinemas have also remained open due to this blockbusters receipts. Without open cinemas where you going to project "committed" films?
Crispin Glover nice video!
I hear & mostly agree with everything he is suggesting her. It should also be noted though that occasionally they do to a degree actually address this type of concern within some plots in the MCU itself, although rare & mostly unnoticed. Most glaring example being the idea of the Military Industrial Complex being co-opted by special interest groups in Civil War.
And in The Winter Soldier.
*THIS DUDE IS THE PERFECT TWO FACE*
Looking forward to his book.
I hope when the book comes out Crispin says to his family, "see, when you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything."
The mcu movies didn’t just base themselves off of characters and story’s that came from comics but the whole comic structure. Each movie is an issue of a comic and those issues lead to crossover events like avengers and infinity war. Some people may call them lazy or repetitive but each movie is needed to build that comic feeling. At the end of the day that was the goal of the mcu to make movies like comics not to just make comic book movies and clearly it’s resonated with comic fans and a larger audience so I think they did their job. Yes it’s a new way of storytelling and older people might see it as lesser quality to what came before but it isn’t worse just different and I don’t think being different classifies something as “not cinema” or art.
Just watch each individual movie. They’re all the same, poorly written, flat characters, repetitive, and too gaudy.
Guardians of the Galaxy is the only one(s) with real auteuristic vision. Iron Man 1 was good. Captain America 1. Maybe a few others. Overall, post Phase 1 has just been rehash.
@@zachmorley158 Sorry, but I just cant see how you can call Ant-Man and Black Panther the same movie

_I like how she made the question relevant..._
I feel comic books sometimes go deeper into the characters than real life stories do.
Do you mean live-action?
@@dobi287 no I mean cinema based on real stories. For instance in comics and movies based on them, the theme is often, what would you do if you had great power, no one else had? And many other themes that cannot be found in non-fiction movies.
I think the issue is with manufactured movies like Marvel vs crafted movies.
Stupid comment, every film is manufactured, his films are big budget too
You still have to craft comic book movies as well...so you answer is obsolete
@@ratthawks exactly, it is an insult to the directors and actors to suggest these films aren't worth that title, look at the end of Endgame with that emotion and tell me that is not cinema, utter tosh
@@bobshrubb3067 A movie cannot be all things. The emotions and environments these characters occupy often feel as plastic and cookie cutter as the merchandise they sell, and this isn't just a slight against Marvel. The recent Joker movie took risks, it doesn't have the same beats as a typical comic book inspired movie. It's janky, rough, but the audience walks away knowing they have witnessed good art. A movie where the actors and director were able to put their souls and expression into it, with no care for being universally loved by all.
@@Palfy18 what a snobby reply, I bet Robert Downey Jr is dam proud of his work as Tony Stark
I think we can agree the biggest marvel here is Crispin's intelligence in giving his thoughts. 😊
I think Joaquin channelled his inner Crispin for the Joker. I can see Crispin playing this role the same exact way.
Peter Parker, Bruce Wayne etc. Many of the iconic heros have great emotional stories that these snobs just dismiss
Martin didnt dismiss the superhero genre, he dismissed the MCU
Yea movies like The Nolan trilogy, Spider-Man 2, Logan, Watchmen, Richard Donner Superman, & now Joker are all great cinema
thefleece 2 lol there are no obvious exceptions, because if that’s the case TASM movies & Joe Schumacher Batman movies would be in the conversation lol. It just depends on how the films are made
Kids stuff
Christopher Koepke Scorsese was going to produce Joker but had obligations to shoot The Irishman around the same time so he gave Todd one of his producers to help. He’s not a snob. He’d just prefer real stories about real people.
Just because something makes a truck load of money doesn't necessarily mean it's just straight propaganda
Thats not why Marvel is propaganda.
@@lsmlsm2115 because of Disney behind them...
They should make another back to the future movie with him going in the time machine to fix the past and make the movie end right.
this is the truth! he is talking about truth! listen to this man!
What a long way to go about saying... "Yes I totally agree with him" lol
He's on a shown run by comic book movie fanatics that talks about comic book movies regularly. He was doing his best to not offend them lol
Ancient Outlaw whoah someone actually articulating a point ? That must be new to you
@@someoneelse9680 Not really, he was just repeating himself.
Actually no he didn't, he gave a compelling point of view. Your brain must hurt.
marty is just a jealous old salt lord. probably mad the russo people sicilian and his are napolitanos or something stupid.
Broader audience doesn't care about artistic way of movies, the movie should be relatable (character and emotion wise) / should have typical moral values, as we see Kubrick's movies aren't the highest grossing but Marvel's are. Because they appel to much larger audience and do what it IS MADE to do, which is ENTERAIN THE BROADER AUDIENCE, i love Scorsese and marvel btw, the mistack is to compare those two, it's just like comparing DC and Marvel some people relate to something some doesn't, doesn't necessarily mean others are idiots. In Scorsese's way Marvel may not be that enjoyable and that's quiet alright but that doesn't mean Marvel is bad or for that matter any comic book movies are. Peace
So audiences are just cattle who need to be entertained??? You sound like some kind of grotesque Utilitarian libertarian who only thinks base instincts and needs are what’s required for a good life. No, the good life is marked by challenging oneself creatively- including audiences.
@@zachmorley158 lol I'm what? I'd say that's quite a fast judgment based on nothing? Read again my comment, i said Marvel movies do what THEY are supposed to and expected to do, to entertain people. It's plain and simple why don't you just understand that instead of categorizing me into your narrow “tis nd tat" worldview.
Yup! Crispin’s right on. Everything he’s talking about is straight out of Horkheimer and Adorno’s essay “The Culture Industry: Enlightenment as Mass Deception”
Marvel movies are marketing campaigns that happen to be movies.
The spitting image of his real life dad. It's uncanny.
Films don’t need to be weird character studies to be quality. Entertainment can still be entertainment and it comes across as snobby elitism.
yeah but his comment still comes across as snobby elitism
Gravivector no, the point of art is to entertain. People like to give loftier meanings to art and expression. The only meaning is to entertain. Quality is in the eye of the beholder. Movies like the English patient get rave reviews for their artistry yet they are boring pieces of shit. You can put deeper meanings in your art but if it does not entertain it is useless.
@@shreddiekrueger359 Maybe for you the only meaning for art is to entertain. For many though, art inspires and changes lives. Don't be upset at others because it doesn't resonate with you that way.
@@shreddiekrueger359 I know what you mean. Slow to build characters development can make the 3rd act climax really good. But with boring characters, who cares?
The English Patient is an interesting choice to pick. I too thought any movie of that time would be a better Best Picture Oscar winner. I can watch Trainspotting (not up for Best Picture in 1996, but nonetheless) 40 times in a row and find it entertaining, while appreciating it's artistic merit. The English Patient is a snooze fest, with no real relatable characters. Hell, You could sit through Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon, probably Kubrick's most slow and tedious film, and find it far more entertaining than The English Patient ever could be. Barry Lyndon at least is irreverent and snarky.
I think Marvel Movies are not art, but they are cinema. I can sit through them, but they have a message, not a plot. Which is what Scorsese is talking about.
Keith Gabbard I do see art that way, it inspires me in numerous ways however if it does not entertain the deeper meaning is not relevant. You can add deeper meanings to support entertainments relevance but in the end it’s entertainment. I can argue that sports have equal value with figures like Jackie Robinson and bill Russell. Those men were important cultural figures who gave people hope and a deeper meaning but again sports are merely entertainment. If art affects you emotionally it is serving it’s purpose to entertain. Don’t get so butthurt about it, we all like art.
Interesting analysis
I dont think ive seen one interview with him after 1990 in which he didnt mention propaganda.
