Two of the movies I was referring to having recently seen above were Shang-Chi and Eternals. This whole situation stinks of a similar scenario from not so long ago, in which Martin Scorsese eloquently spoke to the difference between superhero movies and more conventional cinema because in many ways there is a difference. Maybe if it was marketed on the screen my head was glued to it I'd have ventured to try it. Did I see The Last Duel though? No, because I had no idea it existed. For what it’s worth, I love the cinema and have seen quite a few films in several different theatres since their reopening. Lots of people don’t feel comfortable returning to cinemas yet, and after a year and a half without them, some folks reckon the moviegoing experience in general has become more about overinflated popcorn prices than ambiance. On top of all of that, we’re still in a pandemic.

If I were to diagnose said flop, I’d point to a lack of proper marketing - the only time I heard about this movie aside from Scott’s recent statement was when Matt Damon was photographed drinking cans in my native Dublin on his day off - and the fact that it’s based on, you know, a medieval rape trial. On the other hand, what's the big deal anyway? One of the best directors of our time and several times before ours is disappointed that his period drama flopped.

Ridley Scott’s perspective on cell phones being detrimental to the collective attention span of society is not malicious, exaggerated, or even unique.

As someone who works on my phone quite a lot, I can tell you that even my own friends, who predominantly range from around 24 to 28 years of age, lambast me for burying my head in a screen all the time. My grandad, who is younger than Ridley Scott, recently told one of his best friends that if he “ever brought that thing (read: phone) to the pub again,” there’d be no more pints for the foreseeable future. On one hand, getting up in arms about an 83-year-old man’s views on modern technology is ridiculous.

You might even, in your anger, lash out at the youth of today and pin the blame on them and their fancy schmancy smartphones. If your prestige period drama lost $73 million out the gate, I’m sure you’d be pretty pissed as well. Ridley Scott, the acclaimed director behind classics such as Alien, Blade Runner, and Gladiator, is annoyed that his most recent film tanked at the box office. If you’re even remotely clued into the modern social media landscape, you’ll probably know exactly what the above quote is referring to while also being part of the demographic it is explicitly aimed at. The millennian do not ever want to be taught anything unless you’re told it on a cellphone.” (sic) “I think what it boils down to - what we’ve got today the audiences who were brought up on these fucking cellphones.
