I genuinely want to catch an IMAX showing before it is too late. It's like being able to watch the Hindenburg disaster in person.

Any idea on what the movie is actually about? I saw an interview with Aubrey Plaza where they asked her and she gave a very vague answer.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 months ago (4 children)

The professional reviews are hilariously mixed, I'm pretty sure Coppola unwittingly made a movie that also serves as a litmus test to see how pretentious and up your own ass you are.

The honest reviews are basically, this made no sense, I don't know what he was thinking. The positive reviews can be boiled down to "if you have to ask, you're not sophisticated enough to understand".

Is this going to be like Starship Troopers, where everyone comes back a decade later and says it was good, actually?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

I think Starship Troopers had the opposite problem where people weren't thinking about it hard enough.

Is it more or less pretentious than Tennet?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I'd say less, because the movie makes itself completely clear that it's a fable about power and greed.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Sounds good to me, thanks

The reception of it appears to be, but prob only because Coppola is seen as more prestigious by critics because he never made a batman movie.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I don't think Batman makes Nolan any less prestigious. It might even make him moreso, if only because of The Dark Knight. He was able to pour even more money into whatever he wanted to after that.

He's still one of the few directors that have full control over their movies.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

don't think Batman makes Nolan any less prestigious.

I don't either, but the critics that love art house movies prob do.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

My point is the art house people love the dark Knight too.

it's a retelling of the fall of rome set in modern new york city.

it's alright, wow platinum (plaza) was amazing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

That sounds interesting. I feel like that tiny but of context would probably draw more people to see it. Not sure why they kept it all mysterious.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

i think the trailer makes it pretty obvious. i feel like people are making more analogies to trump and musk that are kinda ridiculous. it's like how populist characters in film used to be compared to Julius Caesar; like sure that's apt but also stfu and listen to the story.

also plazas ass is so nice.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Keep on farming. Content has to come from somewhere!

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 months ago (27 children)

i saw it yesterday, it was great.

the movie makes it clear the story is a fable and that's what it is.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's okay to be wrong /s

But seriously, I'm glad you liked it. I have no horse in this stable

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You stepped into the wrong stable, fool!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hey! That guy's in the wrong stable!
Get'em!

Hmm, I hadn't really noticed those comparisons yet.

Plaza is about the hottest lady of all time honestly.

Edit: someone downvoted this. What a douche.

Dude, that was me. It was precoffee and I fat fingered the vote buttons lol

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Good to know that someone was not offended at the idea that Aubrey Plaza is a goddess haha

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Are you watching Agatha? She's full on sexy witch hag in it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

settings has an option to remove downvotes from the UI.

if someone isn't willing to attach their username to their displeasure then I don't care.

Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis is an impenetrable mess that cinephiles will feel obligated to see anyway.

One reviewer went right for the throat.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I quite like what Richard Roeper said:

Francis Ford Coppola sold off one of his wine companies in order to secure a $120 million line of credit to finance his dream project “Megalopolis.”

With all great respect: You were better off with the Pinot Noir, sir.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Wow Platinum? Isn't that Warcraft's new gold-for-money currency?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I quite enjoyed Megafapolis. I was a little tired and spent by the end...............wait we're talking about Megalopolis. Ooooooohhhhh, I thought we were talking about Megafapolis. Still a good movie.
