    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.

      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.

        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”.

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

            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.

              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.

            Tenet was fucking cool as shit, call it what you want, person who probably never made a movie.

              What movie did you make?

              Or are you the only one that’s eligible to have an opinion?

                  Ah so you’re the only person allowed to have an opinion, and no one else can. Cuz you’re special, right?

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

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

          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.

            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.

    i saw it yesterday, it was great.

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

          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.
