The Poetic Critic had granted me a favor by being this week's guest. Her reward...she gets to address a big hullabaloo that over took #FilmTwitter. This poor taste insurrection started with some twat saying how they broke their own rules of not watching any features released before 1975. I guess this was to prove their belief that cinema was not worth anything prior to the year of "Jaws" because they found "Citizen Kane" to be a poor attempt at art.

It was not solely the stance that films were bad before the special effect shark. The lyrical assessor brought up a recent article that the legendary Martin Scorsese (I think I have now finally memorized the spelling.) about the art of Federico Fellini. In this work (per ThePoeticCritic [TPC]), he again discusses how he feels that corporations are more interested in delivering content to amuse instead of art to challenge.

#FilmTwitter's Response To the Most Under Rewarded Director (to paraphrase): What does he know about art? All his films are about white males. The Marvel Cinematic Universe considers all cultures and races unlike the cinema before 1975 which was nothing but the celebration of white men.

So this is the episode where I truly show my age as I shout at "kids" for trying to feel better about themselves by being keyboard "activists". I thank TPC for her patience as I compare the yearning for only woke features to "woke" wrestling fans wanting more time and respect shown to still blossoming women's wrestling. If you are looking for controversy, I take the stance thantcontext warnings should allow Disney+ to finally air "Song of the South". One can be curious...right?

As for individual movie talk, TPC provides great launch points into films of each decade as far back as the 1920's. I get to mention my experiences with my viewings of David Cronenberg's "Shivers" and the Japanese revenge feature that surely inspired the crimson splashes featured in "Kill Bill", "Lady Snowblood". "Ally's Accessories Shop's Trash Cinema" offers up another low-budget feature. "Dark Ride" from the "8 Films to Die For" series was crammed in just before the editing process. Why could it not be Ham from "The Sandlot" to be featured in the film's head bisection scene?

Hope you enjoy and thank for the support.
