Film Twitter experienced an interesting couple of days when an article criticizing Martin Scorsese's "self-indulgence" made the rounds. You can find it , should you wish to.

The author poses a few good points…I mean, come on, Mr. Scorsese, your movies don't need to be that long. However, as I read it, I felt a poisonous vibe all over it.
