Dude. You were caught red-handed. With video evidence, I believe. This isn't slander.

Hans Moleman should sue.

Jesus Christ. He’s making Richard Kelly look more and more sane by the minute in comparison. As convoluted and messy as Southland Tales was, at least Kelly wasn’t pulling **** like THIS! He had an aborted ARG and convoluted, contradictory prequel comics but that was it. It wasn’t ****ing INTERACTIVE VOICE TECH!

And the worst part? This isn't the first time Frankie's tried this. His last movie Twixt, a disastrous mess in its own right, was originally shown as a roadshow experience where he'd do various edits of the movie at each stop to try and see what scenes worked or not. And it backfired spectacularly. Amazon probably caught wind of that and pulled the plug on the "Siri in movies" bs or whatever this was, using the cost-cutting bit as a cover.

I got lucky! There's an early screening on the 26th, and my theater is running discounted prices for all movies that day, so I get to see it for 5 euros There's no better scenario, now I won't even feel like I'm losing much money if it's atrocious. Let's go, Megaflopolis!

Can we just not re-watch things? There is such a thing as just not seeing the movie.

Actually can we watch whatever movie we want without having to justify ourselves or feel sorry about it? I may go see it too at some point if the stars align. I know you've been advocating against it since pretty much day one, as do others in here and elsewhere, and that's totally fine, I get the reasoning behind it. But some of us are at least curious for a high concept sci-fi that's been in the making for 40 years by a once legendary filmmaker, even if he's nowhere near that level for quite some time now and the quality of the film is questionable. I know I am.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

For those who do watch it, can you let us know how obvious it was that Shia was supposed to be the lead?

He was? Then I'll give Frankie this: he saw reason and agreed with the rest of Hollywood that nobody wants to see Shia as a leading man anymore, given how much his *****ebaggery has destroyed his career.

Jesus Christ, this really is Southland Tales 2.0 with all the goofy character names we're supposed to take seriously. Like Buffy playing a porn star named Christa Now, or Dwayne Johnson as Boxer Santaros or Justin Timberlake as Pilot Abeline.

None of those names are fake. Look it up.

So despite all of the hoopla surrounding this film.....no lie, I still intend to see this movie on the weekend because I feel it has to be seen to be believed! Maybe I'm the crazy one.

Francis Ford Coppola Says America Will End Up with an Emperor ‘in a Few Months’: My Films Are ‘Prescient’

Francis Ford Coppola said the U.S. will have an emperor 'in a few months,' much the way that Rome lost its republic, and more 'Megalopolis' premiere.

If he's really talking about Trump, then he really is delusional. No sane person wants him back in the White House. Everyone's rallying behind Kamala Harris in a way I've not seen since Obama in 2008.
