It's not about courage, it's about money. There are plenty of people willing to take risks with, say, $20M of other people's money.
But when you have $20 million of your own to invest, you go with whatever offers the best return. (At least, that's what people with $20 million do, more often than not)
DL: actual Latino writer/director sees comic book movies as "poison" and "cultural genocide" (don't tell DMac) Oct 15, 17:55
And? One man's opinion speaks for an entire minority? What? {nm} Oct 15, 18:02
"art" is subjective. I wouldnt call Babel art. I wouldnt call Birdman art. But thats just my opinion. Oct 15, 18:36
I mean Robert Redford was in Captain America for moses sakes. He's done a lot for art. More than maybe a handful {nm} Oct 15, 18:38
Babel is an awful movie. Haven't seen Birdman yet. It's an interesting point re superhero movies although it's hardly... Oct 16, 03:02
In your opinion, what are examples of artistic films? {nm} Oct 16, 09:56
my tastes run pretty classical, but in terms of releases this year: Leviathan, Force Majeur, Blue Ruin, Duke of Burgundy Oct 16, 10:56
Also the tribe, goodnight mommy, field in England, the look of silence. Some of these are our films of course {nm} Oct 16, 15:55
So what.. If a movie isn't artistic then it shouldn't be made? {nm} Oct 16, 08:58
yes, exactly Oct 16, 09:04
Well, I think one could argue there is "art" in all of the best examples of those genres, but this is all very subjective {nm} Oct 16, 09:52
Exactly it's objective. You just can't blanket a whole genre as not being artistic {nm} Oct 16, 10:17
true. the original Superman and Superman II were actually great movies {nm} Oct 16, 10:23
Wait. You don't think The Exorcist, Eyes Without A Face, or Doctor Stangelove are artistic? {nm} Oct 16, 09:54
Oh I do.. I was being sarcastic in my statement about stop making comedies and horrors. {nm} Oct 16, 10:17
Reductio Ad Absurdam Man to the rescue Oct 16, 10:00
No; only the reasonable part of it. {nm} Oct 16, 10:05
This guy sounds like a clown to me... Oct 15, 19:46
LOL. {nm} Oct 16, 09:55
both of them {nm} Oct 16, 16:08
Well, that's just like, your opinion, man. {nm} Oct 15, 19:53
The Winter Soldier is one example of a comic book movie that's grown-up and sophisticated and artistically a triumph. Oct 16, 04:53

It's not about courage, it's about money. There are plenty of people willing to take risks with, say, $20M of other people's money. Oct 16, 10:05
That's what I do with 20 million of my HSX money. :) {nm} Oct 16, 10:18
So wait.. Comic book movies aren't artistic but Ted is? {nm} Oct 16, 11:29
It's not that sophisticated. {nm} Oct 16, 09:57
