Megalopolis (Francis Ford Coppola, 2024) • Page 14

I don’t think I’ll ever watch this again, but I’m glad I got to experience it in a theater. Genuinely exciting to see Driver, one of the best characters actors of our time, sharing the screen with Esposito, one of best characters actors of our time. Less so with Shia and Voight, two of the creeps of our time, sharing the screen together.

That said, a lot of this had the campy vibes of “Jupiter Ascending” mixed with Shakespeare, where I had no idea the choices Coppola or the cast were making. Shia just sucks. Should have taken an arrow immediately after appearing onscreen.

I laughed out loud at the newspaper headline that said something like (paraphrasing) “Trial is as crazy as a Hitchcock thriller.”

I’m glad it exists but I would recommend it to no one. I don’t need them getting mad at me like they did when I said “Hubie Halloween” was funny.

 

Hubie Halloween is funny and good.

 

Tell that to my friends!

 

give me their numbers

 

Remember the scene where it just becomes a rock music video for 15 seconds?

 

No way I’m gonna hear any critiques of the Vestal Virgin sequence of the film—that shit was perfection.

 

That sequence gave me mad Deja vu. Thought I was watching Annette sing at the superbowl

 

My desire to see this again was lost to Milton.

 

Hope you and your loved ones are keeping safe!

 

I will be doom scrolling and playing Final Fantasy VIII until the power goes out.

 

Hell yeah

 

Absolutely perfect.

 

I know tetra said it, but them killing off Dustin Hoffman in an “Arrested Development”-like flashback is so damn funny.

 

“oh yeah he died” with a 2 second clip of debris falling on him was absolutely perfect.

 

Looking forward to seeing this again at home with subtitles on whenever it drops on VOD. I feel like I missed some of the dialogue in my first watch

 

Tetra already posted about amazonion mind and that it didnt make sense but I just thought he meant his mind was vast and winding like the river.

 

A friend texted me about how much he loved this and I have been thinking about this thing every day for weeks. Fuck it i'm pro-megalopolis now. I've upgraded it to my 10 of the year.

 

his little scream too, "Ahhh!"

lololol

 

It's my birthday I went to dinner with my brother and he gave me a book called "The Mercy of God's" and now I went to tje club and have to explain myself

 

Hoping Francis and Criterion have had conversations. Would be a day 1 buy for me

 

you'd have to zelle me, brother
