Paul Thomas Anderson: "Get a life, Rambo"

Quote :

Paul Thomas Anderson has made a lot of brilliant, financially successful movies but he's not exactly what you'd call a studio tentpole go-to-guy. He tends to focus his attention on smaller, quirkier projects like Boogie Nights, The Master, Magnolia and his latest, the Oscar nominated Inherent Vice, so it might come as a surprise that he's revealed himself to be a champion of the comic book/superhero genre. Some people dismiss these movies as little more than noisy junk with nothing to say, and wish Hollywood would give us its obsession with churning them out year-after-year. When Rolling Stone asked Anderson how he felt about "the state of movies today", and what he thought about the complaint that American filmmaking is now nothing but superhero movies , here's how he responded.

Quote :

"Ah, that's such a [frick]ing crock of shit. I can't remember a year in recent memory where there were less complaints about the quality of movies. And what's wrong with superhero movies, you know? I don't know. You're talking to someone that enjoys watching those films. People need to get a life if they're having that discussion [laughs]. Those movies get a bad rap."

I think it's safe to say Anderson has gained himself a few fans here at CBM! What so you guys think of his comments, and the entire "too many superhero movies" debate in general? Sound off below.

He said that some people enjoy those movies, so there's no point in giving them a bad rep, Mecha. That's the point he was coming across with. 

Besides, he's ignoring obvious flaws about the tentpoles that even Scorsese, Woody Allen and Spielberg have argued against.

@RamboOnRedBull But you give comic book movies a bad rep all the time though.

I also gave DOFP an 8/10, along with calling The Dark Knight and Kick-ass for great movies.
