Yep. Let’s exploit all the exploited teens by showing how they were exploited

Yup, Twixt was shockingly bad and convinced me that FFC likely doesn’t have a good movie left in him and, as you note, the budget was no excuse for how amateurish it looked and felt. It came out during a super low budget renaissance of thriller/horror movies no less, with a bunch of good to great movies with sub $1…

It’s fair to say that FFC is the most uneven director of the last 60 years. What’s fascinating is that he seems to chase (overwhelmingly) disastrous passion projects or, conversely, money-grab projects that are terrible at making money. Sometimes it seems he has no coherent financial or artistic instinct.

Last time Coppola followed his heart he ruined a child’s career in defense of his abuser, the paedophile director. Fuck Coppola's passion.

Can I ask what you felt was mocking? Not the friendliest tone, maybe, depending on how you want to read text, but I don’t think I mocked you. I do think your argument was reductive, since marketers are monolothicly money people, and critics are a separate group, and so on.

In a stunning reversal of roles, pedophile Victor Salva is rescuing Francis Ford Coppola this time and releasing Megalopolis. It’s the least Salva could do after FFC backed him before, during, and after he undeniably committed horrible crimes against a child.

It’s funny that you even bring up Dracula, as it’s 32 years old and the last somewhat “good” film Coppola made. It’s all been awful since (I was never a fan to begin with) and I don’t get this idea that just because he made another middling to bad movie it should just be automatically picked up and distributed,…

I hope it turns out better than Dario Argento’s “Mother of Tears.”

You’re putting more effort into not enjoying anything than it would take to find something you’d enjoy.

This is so lazy and fatalist, good art is everywhere all the time

I see what you are getting at but I think the issue is the use of “we”. I think you may engage with music that way and I think many others do as well.  But I think for others they engage with movies or TV in that way(constant rewatches and such).  Others may engage with other art(like video games, or books, or board…

I am not seeing how music is different then any other art form in this regards.  As you grow and change in life, your perspective changes and so does your taste and that effects all art you consume.   Things you loved you now find don’t resonate with you or you find things you hated you now enjoy.    Or even things…

Yeah, fuck that status quo of (checks notes) businesses paying talented professionals for quality work.

Only if you're a neckbeard. 

There’s than nonsensical belch of 90s-skateboarder-esque ‘tude we always get sooner or later. HURBLDY BURBLDY STATUS QUO BROHEIMOS!

The movie has been out for a week now, it’s nothing to do with what the movie is about.

No, these are the swan boats in Echo Park:

I find Pitch Meeting exhausting no matter what they’re covering. Anything sounds bad if you attribute the worst intentions to it and voice them in the most obnoxious, self-assured way possible. Straw man stuff.

Somewhat surprised by the comments... I didn’t know this show was liked by as many as THREE people!

Christ , practically ANY feedback about the show online I saw was that people universally HATED it, and it was one of the few times that a show didnt appeal to ANYBODY, so I’m honestly suprised to see it being defended in the comments. Oh a trotting out the ‘oh if you dont like it you’re a racist chud’ accusations is…
