ALERT! They took down their whiny trailer because all those bad reviews from Christmas Past were FAKE! Francis listen, I get it- everyone likes attention or whatever, but you playing the I’m so Put-Upon card is really really really ANNOYING! Cut it out! Paisan, you’ve had a great career and made BANK- BE HAPPY.
Welcome all, I’m going to review the “Megalopolis” trailer and just so you know – this was directed by a GENIUS. Really, that’s in the trailer and not just for a little while; they give a middle-finger to anyone who didn’t like a Coppola film for a solid 44 seconds! If you don’t think this movie is genius, too bad moron- it’s awesome, you’re a filthy plebe!
From what I can glean from the trailer, Cesar Catilina (Adam Driver) is tired of New York decadence; so, he wants to make a new city that’s way fancier and weirder. I’ve played Sim City before; so, maybe it’s got like a lot of happy faces when the plumbing works and sad faces if there’s not enough power? Without question, that was a fun game and if you didn’t enjoy it – you are part of the great unwashed!
This trailer has A LOT of scowling. Cesar Catilina scowls A LOT in the trailer and no one can scowl like Adam Driver. He was born to scowl!!!! Cesar appears to be a magical city planner who wants to make a better city that is vaguely or overtly communist- it is difficult to discern. If it’s anything like real communism, Francis will like it a lot theoretically without any consequences.
I have the distinct impression that this movie is more like a painting; it is visually stunning but with no plot. If you don’t like the film, remember you’re a petite bourgeois rube who brushes his teeth with his fingers. This film seems like “The Darjeeling Limited”- really pretty and Jason Schwatzman was in that film too and it revolved around finding good … tea??? I originally wrote it as “The Darjeeling UNLIMITED” now that would’ve been a film- Think of all the tea we could’ve watched them drink! Remember kids, you only rent Darjeeling Tea!!!
If you want a film where if you say you liked it, you’re 12% more sophisticated- “Megalopolis” is for you! For me, after this trailer, I think I’m going watch something with Dwayne “THE ROCK” Johnson in it. Maybe he’ll do a “Rampage 2”?
In conclusion, this film is GENIUS and the director is a GENIUS and if you don’t think so, I’m going to register you as a pederast and put garbage on your lawn!
My Dad passed away last night. Today’s song of the day is dedicated to him.
My Dad was many things. He was a fighter. He was a trucker. He was a biker. He was a rebel. He loved action movies. He loved his country and distrusted his government. He was the most honest man I ever knew, always telling the truth even when it would have been easier to lie. He was someone who stood up for himself and never backed down from a challenge. I remember, when I was a kid, he would frequently get pulled over for speeding and he would always give the cop the finger while accepting the ticket. My mom would get mad at him for that and my other sisters would admonish him with, “Dad, you’re going to get another ticket!” but deep down, we all knew that was what he had to do. That was just who he was. He lived his life his way and I’m thankful that we reconnected and we were able to fix our own relationship before he passed.
My Dad was ten years sober when he passed and I know he took a lot of pride in that. A lot of people didn’t think he was serious when he said he had given up drinking but I knew he was and I knew he’d stick with it. I was proud of him and I still am.
Today’s song of the day could have been written about him.
