I think a lot of the pushback that he’s getting from it is mostly to do with the level of snobbery that it was said with.
It’s incorrect anyway, because by what metric are movies judged other than revenue? He might as well have said that book adaptations don’t count either because they’re not original works.
It’s just a bizarre thing to have commented on, what was the point? If he makes a movie and it’s good, and it’s not as if he’s bitter because he’s made plenty of good movies, people will watch it. There was no reason to have a go at Marvel. If you want crap superhero movies look at DC stuff.
One of the comments said they can’t get through any Scorsese movies but I can and have enjoyed them too. I also think there’s room for superhero movies and enjoy them too.
It’s like the poor argument that some people make against Andor saying “it’s not Star Wars”. Extremely short-sighted in a vast galaxy to explore that can come from different angles. Personally, Andor is the best Star Wars. I don’t think it all needs to be like Andor, as there’s room for Jedi, Sith and light sabers, but it is a testament to the quality the property can achieve.
I was so shocked at how good it was, I only watched it recently and thought it’s probably some old religious movie. But dayumn I loved it, and can totally see why Keanu said he’d love to see a sequel.
At every inch this moves along, I’m reminded of that one time Keanu mentioned wanting to return to a character that didn’t get enough recognition the first time around youtube.com/shorts/3bz543X9QYQ?si=HAE_pub-T722gvY…
Slightly off topic, but when I first watched It Follows, I hated it. But when I rewatched it, it became one of my favorite horror movies ever. Do you all have this happen sometimes? Is it just not being in the right mood? Not paying attention? Growing as a person? I think for me I was annoyed with the character’s actions. But I’ve become way more lenient on what I consider “unrealistic” character actions. People in high stress stuations rarely make the best decisions and I accept that more in movies.
The actors’ strike is unique in that compromising on AI kills the existence of their profession. Once their likeness and voice can be replicated by machines, they are all fired and have zero job prospects moving forward.
TPTB will churn out endless drivel at zero cost, pay actors nothing, and drown the world in more shallow, meaningless deepfake AI culture.
They didn’t go after the Arts first. They’re just able to go after them now. People in tech have watched their jobs get slowly eaten away by automation for over a decade now. And factory workers for longer than that.

I find the imagery of a bunch of people entertaining themselves to death while non-sentient automated machines pump video into their eyeballs so deeply creepy that I’d like to assume it could never happen on a large scale, since a feeling of “connection” is kind of a big part of art consumption.
But part of me also knows that there will be a non-inconsequential part of society that wouldn’t have any problems with it.
Would They Follow follow It Follows if It Follows doesn’t follow They Follow? Of course, They Follow follows It Follows as It Follows precedes They Follow.
Ok, “follow” looks and sounds wrong now. I’ve said it too much.
To be fair, I haven't watched both films yet, due to me still being a bit broke in terms of money. Yet, to jestly answer, Something is indeed following both film's plots, one by one.
