It’s wild this mf made an Atlas Shrugged-ass movie while everyone out here is living like Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle.
Read the room, guy
Nice theater tho!
I don’t understand what you are saying but I want to.
Care to tell me what is the message of atlas shruggs and the jungle are?
From reading the penny arcade blog about it and watching the trailer, it seems to be an arthouse movie that just happens to be made by the most famous people on earth. You might love it or hate it but most people just won’t get it either way
Sounds to me like some self indulgent, pompous, crap but that’s just me.
For $120 million.
Damn, cinema tickets have really gone up in cost
To be fair, that includes a large popcorn.
At that price I’m definitely sneaking in my own drink and snacks.
OP lives in Zimbabwe and built their own top-end basement home theater in preparation for the movie.
I have to ask. What about this movie is so bad
I haven’t seen it, I hadn’t even heard of it until yesterday. But you don’t get a flop THIS epic without some Morbius tier blunders
I haven’t seen it and, although I know it gets panned a lot for various reasons, I highly recommend at least reading the snippets of reviews of the film by critics to get an idea. Even a lot of the so-called positive films are basically ‘this movie clearly sucks, but I liked it anyway.’
Basically, 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.

Also, some theaters have a lady stand in front of the screen and lip synch to a specific scene and then leave for some reason. Don’t ask me to explain that.
Edit: also, that link provides you with gems like this one from Richard Roeper-

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.
Okay, but just so you know, it’s 2 hours and 18 minutes long.
FFC said he wanted to make this movie since he came up with the treatment for it in 1977. For one of the world’s most successful living directors with all of the connections in Hollywood, to never have been able to make the picture until 2024, you know it’s going to be some masturbatory incoherent mess.
I feel like I need to watch this like I watched tenet, barely giving a shit while sick, lying in bed and from my phone
Maybe they megaloped around?
Yeah, but then you have to watch Megalopolis.
Maybe your AC is out and you need a nap?
Maybe you are a career politician and need to wank off someone and vape without getting in the news about it.
Or a politician looking for a lot of vacant upholstery to vilolate?
