@BenjySarlin @dylanmatt Absolutely, the Marvel slate is a remarkable achievement that's feels less remarkable because a) it makes so many damn films and b) there are so many imitators who are doing (imo) less good versions of them — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@dylanmatt @BenjySarlin Yeah, I think we may all agree about the upshot of this. I think it's bad that tentpoles and sequels are crowding out other films because people like different things and it's sad that not everyone's tastes are well-served by the industry — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@HeerJeet That's definitely in there. I think there are two arguments: 1) Current film economics are crowding out non-franchise films 2) That's bad because non-franchise films are better art than franchise 1) seems undeniable, and there are reasons why it's bad beyond 2) — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@BenjySarlin @dylanmatt Yeah I think that part of the op-ed is fair (Dylan's analogy to longform journalism also, to a lesser degree). But most of the op-ed is devoted to him arguing that the stuff he likes is *better* than the stuff other people like, which is what I'm taking issue with. — PolitiTweet.org

@dylanmatt right exactly, i say "yay" to endgame and boo to whatever the hell lars von trier is. i just wish we were all being honest about what's going on this debate. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@HeerJeet It's an explanation for where his views come from, not a concession of non-cognitivism. Were he to concede that, then the conceptual architecture of the piece would completely fall apart. That's particularly clear in the conclusion, which rests on arguments about value. https://t.co/dOvGihRCcJ — 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
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
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
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
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
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
This Scorcese op-ed is an elegant expression of a philosophy of aesthetics that is, I believe, ultimately indefensible https://t.co/zmXqtERBtV — PolitiTweet.org

What's the best explanation for how to reconcile Trump's heinously low approval ratings with the fact that he has decent odds to be reelected? My gut is that it's some combination of the electoral college and the power of negative partisanship, but I'm sure there's more. — PolitiTweet.org

@ConnorNFLDraft The officiating in that game was relentlessly bad. Sure, we won and that's great, but Will Hernandez seemed be getting actively rewarded for starting fights. — PolitiTweet.org

@jessesingal @ENBrown @CathyYoung63 I think you're getting way too hung up on the phrasing of a generally accepted problem of racism inhibiting black advancement in medicine (see this NEJM piece) and it's making you pick a bad fight https://t.co/KvjjLG538H https://t.co/Mhm49uCL6j — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@jessesingal @ENBrown @CathyYoung63 There is widespread evidence that whites (yes, whites on the whole) still hold stereotypical attitudes about black people, and that black people experience the effects of this stereotyping from a very young age. It is very reasonable for them to worry in the way Liz describes! — PolitiTweet.org
