I genuinely want to catch an IMAX showing before it is too late. It's like being able to watch the Hindenburg disaster in person.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago

Any idea on what the movie is actually about? I saw an interview with Aubrey Plaza where they asked her and she gave a very vague answer.

[-] TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 36 points 1 month ago

The professional reviews are hilariously mixed, I'm pretty sure Coppola unwittingly made a movie that also serves as a litmus test to see how pretentious and up your own ass you are.

The honest reviews are basically, this made no sense, I don't know what he was thinking. The positive reviews can be boiled down to "if you have to ask, you're not sophisticated enough to understand".

Is this going to be like Starship Troopers, where everyone comes back a decade later and says it was good, actually?

[-] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

I think Starship Troopers had the opposite problem where people weren't thinking about it hard enough.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Is it more or less pretentious than Tennet?

[-] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 12 points 1 month ago

I'd say less, because the movie makes itself completely clear that it's a fable about power and greed.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

Sounds good to me, thanks

The reception of it appears to be, but prob only because Coppola is seen as more prestigious by critics because he never made a batman movie.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I don't think Batman makes Nolan any less prestigious. It might even make him moreso, if only because of The Dark Knight. He was able to pour even more money into whatever he wanted to after that.

He's still one of the few directors that have full control over their movies.

[-] TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

don't think Batman makes Nolan any less prestigious.

I don't either, but the critics that love art house movies prob do.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

My point is the art house people love the dark Knight too.

it's a retelling of the fall of rome set in modern new york city.

it's alright, wow platinum (plaza) was amazing.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

That sounds interesting. I feel like that tiny but of context would probably draw more people to see it. Not sure why they kept it all mysterious.

[-] JoYo@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

i think the trailer makes it pretty obvious. 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.

also plazas ass is so nice.

“This movie forced us to update our site’s code to account for decimals in the rating system.”

[-] JoYo@lemmy.ml 34 points 1 month ago

i saw it yesterday, it was great.

the movie makes it clear the story is a fable and that's what it is.

[-] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

It's okay to be wrong /s

But seriously, I'm glad you liked it. I have no horse in this stable

[-] KryptoSynth@ani.social 14 points 1 month ago

You stepped into the wrong stable, fool!

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

Hey! That guy's in the wrong stable!
Get'em!

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

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

Dude, that was me. It was precoffee and I fat fingered the vote buttons lol

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Good to know that someone was not offended at the idea that Aubrey Plaza is a goddess haha

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Are you watching Agatha? She's full on sexy witch hag in it.

[-] JoYo@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis is an impenetrable mess that cinephiles will feel obligated to see anyway.

One reviewer went right for the throat.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I quite like what Richard Roeper said:

Francis Ford Coppola sold off one of his wine companies in order to secure a $120 million line of credit to finance his dream project “Megalopolis.”

With all great respect: You were better off with the Pinot Noir, sir.

[-] AWittyUsername@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Go back to the clurrrrrrb

[-] randon31415@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Wow Platinum? Isn't that Warcraft's new gold-for-money currency?
