    it’s a very expensive, pretty, and totally incoherent mess of a film that a few people feel is profound but most people think is a colossal piece of shit.

    It sounds like what people should have thought about Inception, but everyone instead apparently fucking loved that movie.

    All the hate given toward Megalopolis makes me want to see it. Before that, I wasn’t interested just based on the poster.

      I eventually want to see Megalopolis too.

      I like watching art house movies and then figuring out what I don’t like about it. Even the ones everyone loves. Magnolia was one people loved and I just didn’t get.

        Yeah, well the thing is for me a lot of those types of movies are great but some are absolute trash. And then there are some that I have a lot of mixed feelings about. I don’t really get most David Lynch movies for example, but I’ve rarely felt like watching them were a waste of time because at least you’ll see something interesting. Then there’s total bizarre experience films. I have no fucking clue what Holy Mountain was, but I was fascinated by it.

          I could not get through The Holy Mountain. I like some art films, but not the ones that drag. That one seriously dragged.

            I sort of enjoyed it. Like I said, it was bizarre and confusing but I’m glad weird movies like that can be made sometimes. If nothing else just to explore what can be done on film.

          The issue with this film however seems to be that not only is it incoherent and rambling, it’s also incredibly dull.

            Have you seen it or are you just repeating other people’s opinions?

              Everyone I’ve seen say that haven’t seen it. Also it’s an arty heady drama, of course it’s gonna feel slow at times and be more vague than your average viewer will like.

        Have you seen Aimy in a Cage? It’s a great example of that. It’s an art house film that does many things right, but unfortunately “something” wrong (I think related to editing or cinematography) so it’s not very good.

      Okay, but just so you know, it’s 2 hours and 18 minutes long.

        Yeah, depends on the film if that’s long or not. Lawrence of Arabia is one of my favorite movies. It is 3:45 long, and I’m glad they didn’t cut it shorter.
