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.
i can’t wait to see it. they don’t make good movies any more. this might be the exception.
Coppola might be one of the last great filmmakers left. I fear there won’t be any good movies ever made again after he and a few others pass away. It seems there is no good taste left in younger generations.
Or you could lighten up and stop pretending like the whole industry is beneath you. I hear life is a lot less miserable that way. But hey, what do I know?
I’m not sure if this person is trolling, or has their head so far up their ass they can see daylight, but either way I wouldn’t bother arguing with them.
you know how long it takes to find a decent movie now? forever. the whole industry is beneath me. I gave up and watch ancient mesopotamian docs and otis gibbs.
I enjoyed Megalopolis but I won’t pretend it’s absolutely amazing and perfect. It’s a mess, but it’s a beautiful mess that was entertaining and thought provoking. What you’re complaining about isn’t a problem of the younger generations, but of the studio execs pumping out Movie Product after Movie Product
i saw it yesterday, it was great.
the movie makes it clear the story is a fable and that’s what it is.
It’s okay to be wrong /s
But seriously, I’m glad you liked it. I have no horse in this stable
You stepped into the wrong stable, fool!
Hey! That guy’s in the wrong stable!
Get’em!

I feel like everyone hating it means it’s good.

also plazas ass is so nice.
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
Good to know that someone was not offended at the idea that Aubrey Plaza is a goddess haha
Are you watching Agatha? She’s full on sexy witch hag in it.
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.
nah. I like calling people out for giving the single downvote they use as the “I disagree with you” button as if it matters.
i haven’t read any reviews but some friends also saw it and made the comparison.
Most people haven’t seen it and jump on whatever the most popular are saying.
exactly

This has to be the most pretentious thing I’ve read all day.
i mean, you feel attacked, so of course you respond this way
Who said anyone felt attacked? It’s far more likely to be a passing observation to your comment which does come across that way.
well, i guess when everything sucks, you get to be snobby about it. maybe we should try to fix it rather than attack the messenger.

Yeah, I can tell they’re not worth anyone’s time. Blocked 'em.

Aren’t you the one feeling attacked buttercup ?
Obvious rage bait.
I can completely believe this person is serious.
Probably yes. Idk what he has against Iron-Man or X-Men.
not my fault your generation bought into the MCU and killed cinema.
Lots of great movies done by my generation. Go watch some old cowboy movies with the manly men killing some Indians.
that’s boomer movies, dufus. i’m solidly gen X, the greatest generation since… the greatest generation.
So same generation… only difference, you are pretentious. Well, rage bait a little harder.

That’s basically what every positive review I’ve seen said- “it’s a mess of a movie but I liked it anyway.”
it takes people to make it profitable
Maybe there is, but good ideas still need funding. The same old soup is a safer investment than an original one.
it’s true, but the demand for intelligent meta movies seems low
I disagree. You and I are a target group, and we are not special.
On the other hand…
Also-
That one was such a piece of shit, Coppola didn’t even put his name on it.
