  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.

    It seems there is no good taste left in younger generations.

    Maybe there is, but good ideas still need funding. The same old soup is a safer investment than an original one.

    That one was such a piece of shit, Coppola didn’t even put his name on it.

    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

      That’s basically what every positive review I’ve seen said- “it’s a mess of a movie but I liked it anyway.”

        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.

    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

        Aren’t you the one feeling attacked buttercup ?

        Who said anyone felt attacked? It’s far more likely to be a passing observation to your comment which does come across that way.

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

    Most people haven’t seen it and jump on whatever the most popular are saying.

    exactly

  • JoYo@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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.

    • TrickDacy@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Hmm, I hadn’t really noticed those comparisons yet.

      Plaza is about the hottest lady of all time honestly.

        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.
