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 0 points 1 week 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 0 points 1 week 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".

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 0 points 1 week ago

Is it more or less pretentious than Tennet?

[-] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 0 points 1 week ago

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

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 0 points 1 week ago

Sounds good to me, thanks

[-] TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 0 points 1 week ago

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 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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.

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 0 points 1 week ago

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

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

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

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

What movie did you make?

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

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

All the ones I'm shitting on in this thread.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 0 points 1 week ago

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

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

I only pointed out that your snide comment would mean something coming from a filmmaker, whereas just some rando shitting on a unique piece of art doesn't mean much.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Yep, that is why I shit all over movies I could've never been creative enough to envision or make.

Apart from sound design, I had no problems with Tennet. Insomnia was more pretentious.

[-] dubious@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

my kind of movie! ye of dimwit status be warned.

[-] frezik@midwest.social 0 points 1 week ago

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

[-] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

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

[-] JoYo@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 week ago

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 0 points 1 week 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 0 points 1 week 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.

[-] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 week ago

Keep on farming. Content has to come from somewhere!

[-] dubious@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

because you don't feed the viewer biases. like good music, it can be interpreted in many ways. let the viewer decide for themselves. if the viewer is too dimwitted to draw their own conclusion, then let them fuck off as dimwits should.
