    I genuinely want to catch an IMAX showing before it is too late. It’s like being able to watch the Hindenburg disaster in person.

      Any idea on what the movie is actually about? I saw an interview with Aubrey Plaza where they asked her and she gave a very vague answer.

        The professional reviews are hilariously mixed, I’m pretty sure Coppola unwittingly made a movie that also serves as a litmus test to see how pretentious and up your own ass you are.

        The honest reviews are basically, this made no sense, I don’t know what he was thinking. The positive reviews can be boiled down to “if you have to ask, you’re not sophisticated enough to understand”.

            The reception of it appears to be, but prob only because Coppola is seen as more prestigious by critics because he never made a batman movie.

              I don’t think Batman makes Nolan any less prestigious. It might even make him moreso, if only because of The Dark Knight. He was able to pour even more money into whatever he wanted to after that.

              He’s still one of the few directors that have full control over their movies.

            Tenet was fucking cool as shit, call it what you want, person who probably never made a movie.

              What movie did you make?

              Or are you the only one that’s eligible to have an opinion?

                  Ah so you’re the only person allowed to have an opinion, and no one else can. Cuz you’re special, right?

                    I only pointed out that your snide comment would mean something coming from a filmmaker, whereas just some rando shitting on a unique piece of art doesn’t mean much.

          That sounds interesting. I feel like that tiny but of context would probably draw more people to see it. Not sure why they kept it all mysterious.

            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.

            because you don’t feed the viewer biases. like good music, it can be interpreted in many ways. let the viewer decide for themselves. if the viewer is too dimwitted to draw their own conclusion, then let them fuck off as dimwits should.
