Scorsese’s Theater Boycott: The Deranged Death of Movie Etiquette

Martin Scorsese, cinema’s high priest, no longer sees movies in theaters—thanks to babbling phones, snack runs, and etiquette in freefall. Is this the moment moviegoing truly flatlines?

Picture This: Most Legendary Director Alive—Goes Full Recluse Over Theater Anarchy

Martin Scorsese just did the unthinkable—walked away from public movie theaters, and cinephiles everywhere are SCREAMING like front-row teens at a midnight horror show.

Why? Because, according to a bombshell chat with veteran critic (and newly minted blogger) Peter Travers, Marty is done with the grossly deranged battlefield that is today's multiplex. The man who gave us “Goodfellas” is now dodging popcorn shrapnel and the glow of Instagram DMs at home—in a private screening lair built for a cinema god.

Insane Detail: Scorsese, who once lived for the crowd's electric buzz, built a home theater so decadent it makes the Batcave look like dial-up AOL. We're talking vintage posters, marble study, buried fifth-floor screening room—the kind of setup where “Taxi Driver” is projected next to a bust of Hitchcock. All because audiences can't hold their tongues…or their tweets.

Brutal Comparison:
This is The Last Supper meets Chuck E. Cheese—if the apostles stopped listening to Jesus to check TikTok notifications.


The Deepest Cut: Why the “Church of Cinema” Is Burning

The Scorsese move isn't just about his pet peeves. It's a full-on alarm for movie culture. Theater etiquette? Deader than a zombie extra. Kids don't just talk during movies; they reset their brains with phones halfway through, like Pavlovian cyborgs mainlining dopamine (see the 2022 Pew Research study on digital distraction).

Travers, the only critic Marty still trusts, pressed him—didn't you talk through films as a kid? Scorsese's response: back then, every whisper was “about the movie, and the fun we had chewing over the details.” Now? The only things getting chewed are forty-dollar nachos.

Ridiculous Precedent: Sure, film giants have always had gripes—Hitchcock reportedly hated sitting with the plebs. But this hits different: now it's air pods and Snapchat streaks, not fistfuls of licorice, breaking the spell. It's not nostalgia—it's defensive survival.

Anonymous Hot Take:
An L.A. projectionist muttered, “If Scorsese can't handle the crowd, what hope do any of us have? The next Oscar will need a mute button.”


Split or Spit: Is Scorsese Right to Quit Theaters?

Genius or grumpy? Righteous stand or boomer tantrum? Would you rather watch “The Irishman” in velvet silence…or risk a TikTok trending dance-off in Row J? You'll either love him for defending the church of cinema—or tell him to lighten up, grab some Raisinets, and go full “Mean Streets” on the rowdy teens.
