Being a Catholic in 2024 feels fucking bonkers.

Would rather watch a billion Marvel films back to back than this geriatric waffle on.

Although if he goes creative with it, there's surely a wealth of material for him to do saints Scorcese style.

Martin Scorsese finding a new angle to get an insanely high budget for something with minimal commercial value before he dies now that the streaming service vanity project money is beginning to dry up

Is he just trying to end on a down-note?

Is he just trying to end on a down-note?

The failure to finish "An Afternoon with SCTV" has already put a sour note on his recent career for me.

Marty working hard for a papal commendation

I would genuinely watch this

[George White]

I'm surprised he hasn't been given a papal knighthood.
Joe Gladwin, Ricardo Montalban and Sir Jim'll all got one.

will you behave yourself for fucks sake

[dissolute ocelot]

You're not getting into heaven, Marty! Give it up!

I would genuinely watch this

Yes I'd be very keen to see this. I wonder how it might legally make its way over here. Can't see one of our main channels showing something with FOX NEWS logos all over it. Hopefully a nice bluray or something.

Scorsese's documentaries are usually from the top tier. His Bob Dylan and George Harrison ones were superb.

I wonder which Catholics will champion this? The trad Catholics or the other ones.

Scorsese working with Fox News is indeed a little disappointing.

Bebop Catholics?

Which saint will be described as 'punk'?

I know right? Make the Church of England look like liberal progressives. The Church of fucking England.

I nearly ran one over on Friday. Fascinating creatures.

[George White]

Although I am a borderline agnostic atheist, I still believe in some Catholic things because they're so bonkers, i.e. the Oath of Silence.
