Megalopolis (Francis Ford Coppola, 2024) • Page 7

4 million will be from me

 

Cracking open a few Coppola cab savs during the movie to show my support because I used A-List and am not sure if movies actually make money from that.

 

It’s crazy I’ve subscribed for 6 years and I still don’t know the economics of it

 

They talked about it on The Big Picture Podcast and even they don’t know.

 

He was trying to do something similar with Twixt where they would rearrange or omit and add scenes based on each individual viewing. His ambitions are probably too far ahead of what technology is capable of, or might ever be possible.

 

that is also a terrible idea with the way the theater-going experience has been post-lockdown

 

It also just sounds like a logistical nightmare. If you keep asking questions, can the film go on forever? Is there a limit? Does the film just end after a certain amount of time whether it's at the ending or not? How do you plan showtimes?

 

I think it would only be one question each time. I think they basically did a version of it when they first screened it, so I think it’s a certain moment in the movie. But I obviously have no actual clue lol

 

also the projector guy is a 17 year old on edibles lol

 

There’s never really anybody even in the projector room these days. That’s why when a movie goes down, you just sit there like an asshole until you or somebody else gets up to tell someone in the lobby. Lol

I saw Immaculate and it took like 5 minutes for anyone to even get to the room and then it was like 3 employees up there trying to figure it out for another 15 minutes. But those programs they use to automate everything are also annoying af, even if you do know what you’re doing.

 

Man I think I have to see this just for the disaster of it all. Major Annette vibes both in spectacle and gaudy color palette.

 

I got my ticket

 

there were actually several seat sold already!

 

It is pretty clear that this is going to be "bad", but this is going to be such a purely singular experience at a budget we will never see again. It will be something to talk about, a least.

 

are you E7

 

I will not dox myself

 

These reviews on Letterbox make this sound like all my favorite anime I'm fully looking to seeing this

 

the trailer looks more baz luhrman than anything else
