  Megalopolis 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 18 Sep 2024 2

  Not all that glitters is gold.

  Coppola’s recipe for making Megalopolis:
  1. Make it look pretty
  2. Start tweaking 
  3. Make it a tonal mess
  4. Continue tweaking
  3. Pose 100000 questions in the narrative; answer none 
  6. Continue tweaking 
  4. Have shitty dialogue 
  7. Continue tweaking 
  5. Force his actors to act poorly
  6. Continue tweaking
  7. Make a film so incomprehensible that I wrote this review halfway through the film
  8. Cntnrtiniw twweesking

  This film gets a solid 2/5. 
  The other three stars come solely from how much I loved indulging in the absolute craziness of this with The Bellaballser.

  Contagion 2011

  ★★★½ Watched 01 Jul 2023

  Surprisingly... and eerily accurate, and quite well-researched too. The colour palette deserves to be singled out for praise, though - yellow with its complementary colour blue with hints of green is all I would ever imagine for a pandemic movie anyway.
