@NathanJRobinson Yeah...or that he cares about people. The idea of loving your job and deriving meaning from the work itself is weak sauce, because you're ultimately doing the job because you have to produce. Demand for jobs is not created based on what's fun for workers.
@NathanJRobinson@mtaibbi@RoKhanna Why do leftists care about this so much? It's a big world. Lots of suffering, lots of injustice. This conflict is obviously used to cultivate controversy for political gain. Why is it so important for progressives to expend political capital on this?
@thamosdeaf Spielberg is great when he's making science fiction. A.I., ET, Close Encounters, Minority Report, Jurassic Park. Jaws is his only artful movie that isn't sci-fi.
@swumintheocean@NickPinkerton My point was that the first one did well. The second might have but didn't. Sometimes you lose a good bet. Plus, Joker 2 was actually good.
@annakhachiyan It's a new cinematic style we mistakenly failed to anticipate in light of a historically aged population: geriatric maximalism. The last ditch effort to get every last little thing jammed in there before inevitable death.
@tnyfrontrow Is a claim like "the film has completely effaced the creator" ever really demonstrably meaningful or accurate? Perhaps in terms of craft it makes sense to say this, as in no visible brush strokes?
@tnyfrontrow Rowlands to my mind is the most ecstatic screen presence in history. You watch her and your entire soul is awake and receptive. Very special.
