  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

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

        well, i guess when everything sucks, you get to be snobby about it. maybe we should try to fix it rather than attack the messenger.

  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.”

    I can completely believe this person is serious.

      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.

  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.

    it’s true, but the demand for intelligent meta movies seems low

      I disagree. You and I are a target group, and we are not special.

  Coppola might be one of the last great filmmakers left.

  On the other hand…

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