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

i saw it yesterday, it was great.
the movie makes it clear the story is a fable and that’s what it is.

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.

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

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.

i haven’t read any reviews but some friends also saw it and made the comparison.

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

exactly

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.

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
Snowpix@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
Who said anyone felt attacked? It’s far more likely to be a passing observation to your comment which does come across that way.
Ashiette@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Aren’t you the one feeling attacked buttercup ?
BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 1 month ago
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
dubious@lemmy.world 1 month ago
it takes people to make it profitable
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 month ago
That’s basically what every positive review I’ve seen said- “it’s a mess of a movie but I liked it anyway.”

I can completely believe this person is serious.
Zementid@feddit.nl 1 month ago
Probably yes. Idk what he has against Iron-Man or X-Men.
dubious@lemmy.world 1 month ago
not my fault your generation bought into the MCU and killed cinema.
Zementid@feddit.nl 1 month ago
Lots of great movies done by my generation. Go watch some old cowboy movies with the manly men killing some Indians.

Maybe there is, but good ideas still need funding. The same old soup is a safer investment than an original one.
dubious@lemmy.world 1 month ago
it’s true, but the demand for intelligent meta movies seems low
kilgore_trout@feddit.it 1 month ago
I disagree. You and I are a target group, and we are not special.

It’s okay to be wrong /s
But seriously, I’m glad you liked it. I have no horse in this stable
