In philosophical terms, aesthetic judgments are non-cognitive. They amount to to saying "yay this!" or "boo that!" rather than expressing any kind of propositional content. Scorcese's op-ed is an extended "yay this" to the kind of movies he likes and "boo that" to Marvel — PolitiTweet.org

Scorcese's argument is that there's some mind-independent, objective standard that defines what makes a movie "cinema" (that is, art with some kind of extra layer of value) when no such thing exists. — PolitiTweet.org

But most of the time, I'd rather watch a Marvel movie than the films he lists as being "cinema" — and so, it seems, would a lot of people. There is no true grounds for saying that he's right and box office goers are wrong (or vice-versa). — PolitiTweet.org
