Megalopolis (Francis Ford Coppola, 2024) • Page 8

They had that at the special showings yesterday but I believe it won't be in the regular ones opening this weekend.

 

This looks insane.

 

Lot of good stuff coming out this weekend and I know I’ll be sitting through this.

 

Oh I had no idea this was out this weekend. Dang. Gonna have to find time to see it before too long.

The most convenient theater for me doesn’t seem to have it, but does have “Am I Racist?” and “Vindicating Trump,” so that’s cool.

 

I honestly forget or don’t even know what this movie is about still.

 

It’s about love

 

The local theater had this as coming soon but at the last minute it disappeared. I hate going to AMC.

 

Got tickets for the Ultimate Experience screening on Friday.

 

Saw the trailer for this yesterday between trailers for Venom: The Last Dance and Nosferatu. First time I think seeing the trailer not on a laptop screen. Even more eager to see this in the next week.

Movies, y’all.

 

52% on RT, Coppola definitely cooked

 

Please send me reviews of this from critics you like. I don’t even know what to say about it right now except the acting was god awful 85% of the time. Going to need to think on this one for a bit.

 

The critics who called this one of the worst movies they've ever seen deserve to be ignored for the rest of their careers.

This is boring, absurd, unintentionally hilarious, thoughtful, beautiful, and profound. I started crying when Cesar started doing his final monologue. If this is going to be Coppola's final film, he went out on his own terms.

 

Was driver good

 

I usually enjoy Alonso Duralde’s takes, even if I don’t agree with them.

 

Gustavo Fring struggling emotionally as to whether or not to get on the space escalator is better than most filmmakers' entire career.

 

This was worth not being able to get the exit door open because of the Helene winds.

 

driver was mostly good, Fishburne was easily the best and Shia the worst.

 

I don’t think this was very good but I’m so happy it exists. Ramblings of a madman. I did find its final moments touching

 

Maybe I missed something but it was so funny when they were like oh by the way Dustin Hoffman's character got killed by random falling debris.

 

It's been a while since I last heard an Mark Kermode rant but this is worth the long wait!!

 

nope that was it, just a quick sentence and cut to it for a second

 

I can't stop thinking about this movie. We see almost nothing of the actual building and construction, but near the beginning of the movie Cesar says to his assistant "what if this could make power AND store power?" and the assistant is like "oh yes, great idea!"

 

There are so many little moments that don’t fully pay off or go anywhere. Why did Gus and his daughter speak in a different language for 2 sentences?

 

That is what is so strange about parts of it. There are cuts and edits that feel like bad studio interference but he had complete creative control. The cousin disappears for so long that I wasn't sure what side he was on or what he was doing.
