Afin de mettre d'ordre dans mes affaires, et pour quelques hypothétiques âmes perdus que mes divagations littéraro-cinématographiques intéressent, voici le thread de mes threads.

[Dr HadrienF @HadrienF2]

@ObliquesRegards non évidemment, mais vu que c'est leur logique je ne vois pas pourquoi se priver de la retourner contre eux.

[Dr HadrienF @HadrienF2]

@ObliquesRegards Moi*

@ObliquesRegards Mais j'aimerais bien voir l'arbre généalogique de ces imbéciles...

Ce n'est pas parce que vos pêts de cervaux ont l'air d'être gauche:
1) qu'ils le sont
2) que c'est intelligent.

Depuis que j'ai appris que Shohei Imamura c'était un immense bourgeois je peux pas m'empêcher de voir ses films comme un mec qui bande sur les pauvres

[Dr HadrienF @HadrienF2]

@elladorn_ @QuicksilverClay Oh? you realized that alone, all by yourself? A significant progress!!! Yes "middlebrow" isn't really a rigorous term. It doesn't really have a stable significant because it's just a set of implied values you can used to pass Judgement without having to really argue your point.

[Dr HadrienF @HadrienF2]

@QuicksilverClay @elladorn_ Most of Bergman's films are middlebrow. Most of what we call arthouse films are middlebrow, very few are actual avant garde, experimental/really hermetic work. It doesn't say much about their artistic quality. Using "middlebrow" as a term of dismissal like OP is rather idiotic.

[Dr HadrienF @HadrienF2]

@vanpersi123 @elladorn_ Is it a joke? It must be, nobody can survive while being this stupid and ignorant...

[brent___x @brentmichaelcox]

perfect, though almost tbh, but shot for shot and cut to cut his style is so obviously his own and so frequently copied by lesser artists that its power can be forgotten, which is one of the hallmarks of a great artist. Like Bergman. AI is causing an unfortunate new moralism,/

[brent___x @brentmichaelcox]

Not only is he as “singular” as Bergman, through his work in film restoration and advocating for international cinema he is also easily the most influential American director seriously trying to help create a more film literate US public. It’s not to say every single movie is/

[brent___x @brentmichaelcox]

Whatever you think abt Scorsese’s decisions, this is the kind of ignorant take we use to justify denigrating wildly important artists. Scorsese is one of the most singular, influential, and stylistically masterful directors in history, “arthouse” and “mainstream” alike./

[Dr HadrienF @HadrienF2]

@Plangentfall @elladorn_ @SuperHario64 That is as stupid and pretentious as what you are responding to...

[Dr HadrienF @HadrienF2]

I know it's a lot to ask here for people to think before tweeting but not seing the very consistent thematic undercurrents as well as highly recognisable film style in Scorsese oeuvre is just admitting you may be a bit dim.

[Ella Dorn 唐棠 @elladorn_]

@SuperHario64 They're very good films but I struggle to see him as an auteur w the same consistent aesthetic vision/outlook as his best contemporaries. Love Taxi Driver but I think of it more as a Paul Schrader film, esp after watching Hardcore

[Dr HadrienF @HadrienF2]

@elladorn_ You are a dumbass snob, that is almost invariably a pléonasme but still it needs to be said. this kind of pretentious posturing opposing so called "middlebrow" and sophisticated arthouse, is not film "literacy" it's certainly not sensibility. All you want is to feel superior.

💭 🎬 L'artiste franco-iranienne Marjane Satrapi, qui s'est fait mondialement connaître avec la bande dessinée et le film "Persepolis", est décédée à l'âge de 56 ans, a annoncé son entourage jeudi à l'AFP.

[Théo Ribeton @theoddore]

Beaucoup de cris d'orfraie un peu cons sur ce faux scandale : Scorsese ne va pas prompter Taxi Driver 2 dans SeeDance. Il se sert de l'IA en dev, pour des storyboards – on peut aussi être contre mais c'est pas plus grave que d'accélérer ses recherches Google avec ChatGPT. Calmos.

[Dr HadrienF @HadrienF2]

@ObliquesRegards Encore la Malmaison (c'est ça?) je peux comprendre c'est un peu beaucoup lié à la légende du bonhomme, mais sur l'île d'Aix... Il y a passé 3 jours à tout cassé ils en ont quand même fait un musée on peut visiter la maison de Napoléon

[Dr HadrienF @HadrienF2]

@bigmonkeong He is still not using AI to make a film. You can criticize the move to use AI even for storyboarding, you can criticize it's ecological cost but he hasn't really shifted stance here.

[Dr HadrienF @HadrienF2]

@ASif_AS_ @DiscussingFilm Good thing he is not making the actual movie with AI. Please use your brain and read.

Sans parler de la grande banalité du propos (ce qui m’étonne peu de son auteur), quelqu’un qui parle de littérature en déconseillant tel ou tel type de lecture ne me dit rien qui vaille.
