I’m with you. This guy just doesn’t like movies I guess.

It's more the pretentious film student angle. Nowadays, movies are too 'pop culture' in their editing, not like those old classics that are filmed like they're performing a play... which they essentially are.

I'll give points that examples like La La Land where they sit talking to each other for 6+ minutes with only face closeups and no other actions is frankly unforgivable movie directing. But that seems more cherry picked than an overall trend.
