And you and I thought “Dune” was sci fi eye candy of the first order.
I do not care that some studio execs were lukewarm on picking this up. I am trying to forget how meditative and obscurant Coppola’s last 20 years of movies have been.
This looks amazing.

The kernel of this film has existed within Coppola’s cranium for quite a while, protected, nurtured and refined. Beloved as it’s been by him, one wants, as his audience, to share in (and enjoy) its eventual theatrical release. The fact that it took 30 years?…Well, that’s either irrelevant or a harbinger of doom. I envy Moore, who sees this Megalopolis teaser and garners a genuine sense of anticipation. For me, I’m not sold yet. With its walking on buildings and putting the city on ‘pause’….that rubs too familiar for me, like Inception with a red/orange gel filter instead of blue. Seeing as how Moore is my ‘canary in the coalmine’ so-to-speak on whether films are worth shelling out $20 for, I’ll go ahead and wait for their full review.
Oh, we’re all cautious. “TWixt,” “Youth without Youth” etc. made that a must. “Tetro” was the last time I talked to him, and I took his “even if you don’t love this particular work, buy a bottle of wine” request seriously. This looks ambitious, and he may have one last big story to tell.
