    Out of curiosity how did you watch Megalopolis? I imagine that impacts the experience

    That movie is so crazy and I’m glad it exists. My criticism is that it seems to be arguing that utopia is a solarpunk libertarian commune, which are certainly contridictary words to describe something. It’s like it believes in the “free market of ideas” while ignoring that ideas inevitably become actions. Like there was a way to connect Driver’s desire to achieve perfection with the fall of the Roman American empire around him but instead goes for a goofy handwave ending. I think there’s something here but you’d need to do a lot of work to drag it out

      Alone at night off blu-ray with 5.1 sound (I only have 6 speakers, not 8) and a big screen. The disc appears to be a legitimate import but who knows? I’d link you to the store, but its page now says they’re sold out.
