Adult babies out for revenge on Scorsese?

What 76-year-old wouldn't want to watch this?

I remember long ago. Roger Moore was being interviewed around the time he was making an especially idiotic James Bond movie, the one where he's in Venice and he has a special hi-tech gondola loaded with weapons. A lady asked him if he was ever going to make a serious film. He told her how much the movie cost to produce and that he thought THAT was pretty serious.

But, he added in the interview, he knew what she meant.

An article in Variety suggests that petty, money-grubbing comic book movie makers will retaliate against Martin Scorsese come Oscar time. Scorsese's $180 million The Irishman was made for Netflix which means that billionaire Steven Spielberg will have his panties in a wad over it. Spielberg has made a fortune getting a cut of the box office for his big budget exploitation films. This is why he's outraged at the thought that his movies might not be shown in theaters.

So Scorsese will have Spielberg and his ilk plus the sulking adolescent comic book "movie" "people" against him. They see themselves as being like Peter Parker or the Avengers, persecuted social outcasts---no one understands how extra-special they are.

I never understood why they care so much about Oscars. They're rich celebrities who get to make movies. That's not enough for them?
