Before & After.
Distilled Emotion. Dread. Fear. & loss, for what we already have & for what we will. For me, this is Lynch’s most personal piece of work. Watch your friend suffer. Watch her die.
It was a truly magical thing hearing the “Twin Peaks” theme song echo through the auditorium of the Egyptian Theatre.
This one surprised me. So much of it emulates an Altman movie; We bounce between couples & families as they leave their houses & attend a championship football game. Everything from parking to finding their seats. We see a father’s frustrations with himself that he can’t afford to buy his son’s souvenirs. Outbursts of anger. Shame.

I’ve got so many banger one liner reviews for this movie:
- I’m glad I got to see Jon Voight & Dustin Hoffman in IMAX.
- “Megalopolis” provides humanity with dry humping in IMAX.
- “Megalopolis” provides humanity with Shia LaBeouf’s pubes in IMAX.
- I act just like Cesar Catilina when I’m drunk.
- Megalopolis’ biggest innovations are escalators & hamster wheels.
- Francis Ford Coppola made a $120 million dollar Motern movie.
- “Megalopolis” is like if Neil Breen tried…
I hate when an event looms over me. For whatever reason, I just don’t want to go to things I’ve known about forever. Comedy shows, cool movie screenings, I just don’t want to go (because I’m so depressed all the time)
But… When you finally go… When you finally get there & park & walk & get in your seat & “the event” starts, I’m always glad I did get up & go. I’m glad I saw “Babylon” tonight (in glorious 70 MM)
I love…
