James Gunn Clarifies Statement Towards Martin Scorsese’s Criticism of Marvel Films
Recently, James Gunn spoke with Josh Horowitz in a podcast and the director was asked about what it was like to be defending superhero films from those like Martin Scorsese, critically acclaimed director. In 2019, Scorsese said that films from the Marvel Cinematic Universe are “not cinema” and have outright compared superhero films to theme parks. At the time, Scorsese was adamant on his perspective (and still is) stating, “I don’t see them. I tried, you know? But that’s not cinema. Honestly, the closest I can think of them, as well made as they are, with actors doing the best they can under the circumstances, is theme parks. It isn’t the cinema of human beings trying to convey emotional, psychological experiences to another human being.” When Scorsese’s comments were publicized, Gunn...

eBay Pulls Listings for PlayStation 5 Dev Kit
A pair of PlayStation 5 dev kits were listed on eBay for auction but only managed to stay on for a few hours before being taken down by the e-commerce platform. According to Kotaku, the listing included both consoles and managed to reach a price of €2,850 EUR (roughly $3,373 USD) before being removed by eBay just hours later. The listing also included a pair of blacked-out DualSense controllers, which don’t seem to be for general sale since those on offer now are two-toned. The report also pointed out that it’s unclear which rules the listing broke on eBay, but that the takedown could simply be a request from Sony itself. Even if gamers were to get ahold of a dev kit, they’re equipped with a series of security measures that make them hard to crack for access. In 2016, a Reddit user ma...
