We dodged a bullet there.
I don't think they liked it.
Is it wrong that this kinda makes me want to watch it more?
I'm absolutely all in. Rebel Moon is great.
It's definitely intriguing
Not wrong! Gotta love a hot mess sometimes 😄😆
For those of us who grew up as fans of Coppola's work, the point isn’t to go watch a movie that is good. It’s to go experience the final work of a man who changed cinema, who was part of the New Hollywood group that challenged the studio system and broke conventions.
This man skirted the line between art house and commercialism for over 50 years while saying fuck you to the status quo. So if he’s going out with a beautiful abstract mess because that’s how he wants to spend his money, screw it I’ll buy a ticket to watch the old man’s final show.
Is it a beautiful abstract mess in the same vein as The Tree of Life by Terrence Malik, or Under the Skin by Jonathan Glazer? Because if it is, I think I'll skip it. To each his/her/their own!
Lol I love/hate The Tree of Life. If it goes in that direction I'll have to watch.
No idea, but I hate/hate the tree of life. If you do go watch it and you love/hate it, let me know so I know to avoid it lol
Incredibly polarizing movies like this fascinate me, it's on my must watch list for this weekend.
50% on Rotten Tomatoes:
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that writer sucks at his job. That was just a pointless rant for the majority of the page.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying a movie critic is required to use formal writing rules. But when it's that sloppy and over dramatic, it puts his opinion of the movie in doubt because anyone that sloppy likely won't have the ability to grasp any dialogue complexity.
That piece would be fine on reddit or lemmy. But on a site like that? Nah, whoever is the equivalent of editor there failed hard by letting that one through.
