    I give it a week once people start talking about it. This happened recently with some ridley scott film that they never even advertised and he blamed them instantly

    Ridley Scott doesn’t have “one regret” about his direction or Disney’s promotion of his 2021 historical drama “The Last Duel” — the box office failure is the fault of young people and their cellphones, he says.

      “I think what it boils down to — what we’ve got today [are] the audiences who were brought up on these fucking cell phones. The millennian do not ever want to be taught anything unless you are told it on the cell phone,” Scott continued. “This is a broad stroke, but I think we’re dealing with it right now with Facebook. There is a misdirection that has happened where it’s given the wrong kind of confidence to this latest generation, I think.”

      My guy just huffing raw copium

      [In 1982], I made a film called ‘Blade Runner.’ It was my third movie. Pretty fuckin’ good,” he told Maron. “I was killed. I was killed by [film critic] Pauline Kael, who didn’t even meet me. She had never met me and I suddenly read this article in the New Yorker, which is a very classy magazine. I read it, and there’s a four page series of insults. I framed it. It’s in my office right now.”

      I never read criticism. I never read critique ever again,” Scott added, “because she was so wrong. I was just way ahead of her.”

      lmao, what a baby

        Just found out somebody somewhere didn't care for my movie, despite not meeting me first. I am now dead.
