    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.

      Maybe there is, but good ideas still need funding. The same old soup is a safer investment than an original one.

      On the other hand…

      Also-

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

      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

          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.

              Or you could lighten up and stop pretending like the whole industry is beneath you. I hear life is a lot less miserable that way. But hey, what do I know?

                I’m not sure if this person is trolling, or has their head so far up their ass they can see daylight, but either way I wouldn’t bother arguing with them.

                you know how long it takes to find a decent movie now? forever. the whole industry is beneath me. I gave up and watch ancient mesopotamian docs and otis gibbs.
