  Maybe they though Mirabilis for “amazing to wonder at” 😍

  Except I bet a plant got it first and they scrambled

  I always felt bad for em, we either drowned them in alcohol or froze them. I also felt guilt boiling the ecoli I spent time genetically engineering (in a genetics lab)

  You know what’s funny is there isn’t like one of these winged penis things. They’re all over the ancient Mediterranean and Roman world, northern Libya, Greece, England, Germany, Spain, Italy. And they made so many of em, every local museum will have some already. It’s not even special if you find one lol

  It is crazy-making and it’s one of the reasons 2022 to 2024 had such enormous flops. They just don’t have any control over budgets at all, and apparently thought the era of superhero billion dollar box offices was never gonna end. I’m picking on capeshit unfairly because even the supposed auteur movies had way too big of a budget - and you don’t even see it on screen, the effects look so bad lol (unless it’s an Avatar, like you said)

  The closest I’ve ever got to being alone in a theatre was a matinee showing of Don’t Breathe like 4 weeks into its run. Got 15 minutes in before someone else came by.

  I watched it totally alone on Saturday night, never been in a theater alone! I’ve heard there were a lot of walk outs - which I don’t get, theres no accounting for taste of course, but I didn’t think it was leave early bad.

  I loved the spectacle and the aesthetic and the fashion, the characters were sorta eh - this is a story where the characters aren’t grounded in realism but are supposed to be stand ins for ideas or movements. Aubrey Plaza was great in it, I actually kinda liked Shia LaBeouf as well. Adam Driver was so-so, but I think that was down to directing. Music choices were odd but I kinda dug it.

  I really had a hard time following the plot. Lots of things happened and were resolved in the next scene - felt like about an hour was cut haphazardly. I didn’t have a theatre were an actor was hired to interview Cesar Catalina (Adam Driver) breaking the 4th walll butterfly aspect ratio and frame changed enough to keep some semblance of the effect. ::: spoiler spoiler Cesar can control time, which is interesting but I think is literally just a literalization of him being an Artist able to freeze time (it’s said as much in the movie) ::: - not really a spoiler it’s like the first scene.

  Kind of a bizarre trip, glad Coppola got to make his Moby Dick of a movie. It’s way funnier than I was expecting something as pretentious as I figured it’d be - reminded me of Shakespeare style blending of High Art and Low Art, a comparison I’m sure Coppola would love. I bet I’ll watch this again on streaming or Blu Ray or something years later and see a bunch of stuff that didn’t make sense the first go.

  How did this make it past review? I guess case reports might not have a peer review process

  Yeah not though, that’d be dope. The big Leibniz style S integral is just as good as cool stussy S. Fuck it do it

  Had it on VHS, I thought it was good but I was a little too young to appreciate it properly I think.
