Seth Rogen recently said the last good high school movie was Superbad. The statement triggered a heated debate online. It’s true that Superbad became one of the highest-earning comedy films since the 1990s, but people within the high school movie industry felt offended by the statement. How did the 40-year-old comedian, actor, and filmmaker respond? Scroll down if you want to find out.

Seth Rogen on His Statement

Comedian Seth Rogen said he had no idea one simple statement would have such a negative backlash. But, as a fellow actor from Superbad, Jonah Hill, said, people hardly forget. So, a response was due, and Rogen gave it.

The star made it clear his comment was nothing but a joke. In fact, there have been many good comedies since the early 2000s, with Rogen making some of them. But what he found really intriguing was that many teenage stars he had spoken to liked Superbad the most.

That’s precisely what prompted his making such a statement. And now, let’s pay attention to what response his statement had online.

Not Everyone Agrees With Seth Rogen

Many people took over the Internet, slamming down Rogen for his statement. Some wrote that Project X was a much better movie than Superbad, and it wasn’t the only better comedy, too. Some online users cited the titles of several severely underrated movies to have more compelling storylines than Seth Rogen’s “high school favorite.”

Of course, not everyone was on the disagreeing side, and a lot of people defended Rogen for his statement. Some wrote that even though there might be better comedies, high school movies with intriguing stories haven’t been made since Superbad.

In addition, some online users took the chance to notice that all movie genres are getting worse. One can only hope that the tendency of making remakes of everything will stop sometime soon so we can watch quality movies again, commented some.

Film fanatics can look forward to a great new movie from Martin Scorsese, and it will be called Killers of the Flower Moon. It will be a Western crime drama and will star Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Brendan Fraser, Jesse Plemons, and Lily Gladstone. The film is set to release in May 2023.

Martin Scorsese’s New Movie

Those anticipating the new Scorsese drama will need to prepare themselves for a lengthy cinematic journey, as it is currently stated to be Martin Scorsese’s second-longest film. Scorsese appears to have great faith in his ability to deliver a compelling viewing experience to audiences. Perhaps he took note of the criticism from those who were unwilling to sit through The Irishman and decided to create another lengthy film.

For some individuals, the thought of dedicating more than three hours to view Martin Scorsese’s latest film is causing anxiety. Presently, Killers of the Flower Moon has a runtime of three hours and twenty minutes, which has resulted in the director engaging in discussions with the Cannes Film Festival about screening the movie this year. The film’s extended length is reportedly the reason for the deliberation.

Flower Moon Will Be 200 Minutes

At a runtime of 200 minutes, the Western drama is just nine minutes shorter than Martin Scorsese’s previous film, The Irishman, which clocked in at 209 minutes. This length exceeds other acclaimed Scorsese movies, such as The Wolf Of Wall Street, which has a runtime of 180 minutes, Casino, which runs for 178 minutes, and The Aviator, which lasts for 170 minutes.

The upcoming film is adapted from David Grann’s popular book of the same title. Happily, as with The Irishman, Killers of the Flower Moon is expected to be available on streaming platforms shortly after its initial release.

In this instance, the new Martin Scorsese film will be distributed by Apple TV+. As a result, viewers will have the freedom to pause the film and take breaks for refreshments or restroom visits at their convenience.
