It's weird, we have a full-testosterone list, without a bunch of art-house favorites, on the internet and everybody gets suspect... but of course you tell all your Overly Compensating Masculine friends your favorite movie is die hard or something, for cover, when of course it's actually When Harry Met Sally

I was always kinda put off of early Scorsese by his depiction of women as alternately hurdles, motivators, and stepping stones for tortured men. In Raging Bull particularly, the incredibly present and foregrounded interactions between the protagonist and his second (? i can't quite remember, having not seen it for about a year) wife really bugged me. What am I missing? Seems like there can't just be an entire world of people ignoring that for no reason.

Pretty sure that dude was being genuine, but I know the feeling.

Two years ago I met a guy at this party who told us his favourite movie was Battleship and we literally spent the entire night trying to deduce whether or not he was being sincere or possibly just liking the movie ironically.

I feel like Scorsese has a lot of the same problems in writing women that Nolan does.
