Paul Thomas Anderson had plenty to say regarding the criticisms towards American films and specifically comic book movies.
During a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the director responded to the common complaint about American filmmaking being nothing but superhero movies.
"Ah, that's such a f****** crock of s***," Anderson said. "I can't remember a year in recent memory where there were less complaints about the quality of movies. And what's wrong with superhero movies, you know? I don't know. You're talking to someone that enjoys watching those films. People need to get a life if they're having that discussion [laughs]. Those movies get a bad rap."
In the interview, Anderson discussed his most recent film, Inherent Vice. Based on the Thomas Pynchon novel of the same name, the comedy crime-drama opened in theaters last month.
