This really infuriates me. Not just because it is many people's childhood hero Rick Moranis being punched, but assaulting a person minding their own business for no good reason?

I heard about this. This really pisses me off!!!

I mean elitist fans are the worst, no matter what fandom they came. That's why people hate gatekeepers so much. People just want to enjoy things, but elitist people sneered around just because they wanted to appear superior to others.

Hell, I love MCU, but I despise MCU stans. Being passionate about things are fine, but acting snobby and hostile towards others is not. That's how toxic fandoms are born.

Regardless, Scorsese is right. If movies like Ferris Bueller was make in this day and age, it would have bombed. Cinemas now rely on franchise (and horror) to make money, even comedies are a risk. If anything it creates a divide between popcorn flicks and art movies.

Having franchise movies are fine, but another problem is Hollywood is creatively bankrupt. Not every movie needs to be MCU, as much as I despise the Snyderverse at the very very very least I kinda appreciate that they're trying to be different, just executed horribly. I don't know, we're the generation that grows up watching these shows, we want to see the likes of TMNT, Power Rangers and the like to be executed well on the big screen. It is why people like Bumblebee so much. Yeah it's basically ET, but it was the Transformers movies that people wanted. A step in the right direction.

Lastly regarding of MCU, they do need to change the formula. Superhero fatigue exists when there's mediocre movies. If most of the movies are Ant-Man and the Wasp level of quality then it is dead. People are already growing tired of it, so Phase 4 needs to be refreshing.

Also why. Who the fuck would punch Rick Moranis? Bill Pullman?

I'm a bit ashamed to say that I have no idea who Rick Moranis is, but who one Earth goes around punching people like that out of the blue anyways?

No need to be ashamed, got you covered. He used to be part of what was pretty much the equivalent of SNL in Canada called SCTV decades ago from the mid 70s to mid 80s and later went on to be in movies such as Strange Brew, Spaceballs, Ghostbusters I and II, Honey I Shrunk the Kids and its sequels, Little Giants, etc.

Moranis is an unbelievably talented actor.

And he quietly gave it all up to take care of his kids after his wife passed.

I've been really swamped with college lately and it's starting to get to me. I need to get back to writing or doing something expressive.

Perhaps try a hobby that's not too time-consuming and can be one in short periods of time? Like reading or working on fanart? For example, I sometimes edit the Kamen Rider Wiki which I can do in short bursts of time while I'm on break.

Also, getting back to writing? Interested to know what you've written.

This. :rock:
I remember hearing about this a while back and if this act does not deserve respect I don't know what does.

Honestly it's amazing that some actors have up their career for the sake of their family. I remembered that Chris O'Donnell could have been a huge movie star, but he chose his family and that that is why he's just working on small screen instead.
