Reddit soys are already out with their predictable film-pseud defence "Duuude, this is going to be spectacularly terrible, I'll love it 
".
These are the top comments.
Sounds like it has all the ingredients of a cult film, but not a financially successful one
--
Darn these Reviews are all over the place, people who like it are praising it highly, and people who don't are thrashing it.
Sounds like it's gonna be fun love polarizing films
So basically Coppola lost his sanity and made an unmarketable 120 million dollar epic. I'm so hyped!
120 million dollars to create something you truly love that others absolutely hateโฆ That's the dream baby ! Cinema is back !
__
Can't wait. It's either going to be beautiful, or a beautiful disaster. Either way, it sounds worth watching.
__
The reality is even the positive reviews are handling this film with kids gloves. They struggle to articulate what's good about it and are basically going "uhh...this film is ambitious and Coppola(an industry legend) took a lot of risks and we must respect it for that" 
Yeah sure 
for doing it as a neighborhood dispute

Taken from Americas #1 news source:
After the 2020 presidential election, as some Trump supporters falsely claimed that President Biden had stolen the office, many of them displayed a startling symbol outside their homes, on their cars and in online posts: an upside-down American flag.
One of the homes flying an inverted flag during that time was the residence of Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., in Alexandria, Va., according to photographs and interviews with neighbors.
The upside-down flag was aloft on Jan. 17, 2021, the images showed. President Donald J. Trump's supporters, including some brandishing the same symbol, had rioted at the Capitol a little over a week before. Mr. Biden's inauguration was three days away. Alarmed neighbors snapped photographs, some of which were recently obtained by The New York Times. Word of the flag filtered back to the court, people who worked there said in interviews.
While the flag was up, the court was still contending with whether to hear a 2020 election case, with Justice Alito on the losing end of that decision. In coming weeks, the justices will rule on two climactic cases involving the storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6, including whether Mr. Trump has immunity for his actions. Their decisions will shape how accountable he can be held for trying to overturn the last presidential election and his chances for re-election in the upcoming one.
โI had no involvement whatsoever in the flying of the flag,โ Justice Alito said in an emailed statement to The Times. โIt was briefly placed by Mrs. Alito in response to a neighbor's use of objectionable and personally insulting language on yard signs.โ
Judicial experts said in interviews that the flag was a clear violation of ethics rules, which seek to avoid even the appearance of bias, and could sow doubt about Justice Alito's impartiality in cases related to the election and the Capitol riot.

Royal Mail set to be taken over by Czech billionaire for ยฃ3.5bn
Company โminded to accept' Daniel Kretinsky's improved cash offer
Royal Mail is on the brink of a takeover by Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky after the board said it was minded to accept a ยฃ3.5bn bid.
In an update to investors on Wednesday, the postal business's parent company International Distributions Services (IDS) said it had received a revised possible cash offer from Mr Kretinsky's EP Group of 370p per share.
The offer is an increase of almost 16pc on a previous 320p per share approach, which was rejected, and values the company at ยฃ3.5bn.
The board of Royal Mail said it would be minded to recommend the new offer to shareholders. EP Group now has until 5pm on May 29 to table a firm bid or walk away.
It opens the door for the 500-year-old postal service to fall under foreign ownership for the first time in history.
Royal Mail's central role in British life makes the deal highly politically sensitive and a government spokesman said: โWe are monitoring these developments very closely.โ
The company has been left vulnerable to a takeover after suffering a slump in its share price. Royal Mail's stock is down by more than a fifth compared to the highs seen in the immediate aftermath of its IPO in 2013.
[article continued]
Mr Kretinsky has agreed to make contractual undertakings to the Government to protect key public interest matters. These include maintaining Saturday deliveries for first class letters and keeping the one-price-goes-anywhere service.
The tycoon, who is known as the โCzech sphinxโ in the City, has also vowed to maintain employees' current rights, protect the Royal Mail brand and keep the company's headquarters and tax base in the UK.
The board is also seeking assurances that Mr Kretinsky will maintain IDS's investment grade credit rating.
However, the announcement did not spell out a promise to keep the group's profitable parcels business, GLS, combined with its struggling letters division.
Mr Kretinsky's swoop has sparked speculation that the billionaire could look to merge GLS with Dutch operator PostNL, in which he also holds a major stake.
PostNL, which delivers parcels and letters across Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, is locked in similar debates to Royal Mail about relaxing its commitments on letter deliveries.
Analysts have said a merger could deliver โsynergiesโ across the businesses and improve services for customers.
A source close to EP Group insisted Mr Kretinsky did not intend to break up IDS and said the list of undertakings was not exhaustive.
It is not yet clear whether the commitments would be legally binding.
Any failure to secure legally binding undertakings would raise the risk that Mr Kretinsky could renege on the pledges in future.
In 2010, US food giant Kraft, now known as Mondelez, came under fire for breaking its pledge to keep Cadbury's Somerset factory open. The promise was made during a hostile ยฃ11.6bn takeover of the chocolate brand but the factory was closed a year after the deal closed with the loss of around 1,000 jobs.
SoftBank agreed to legally-binding commitments on jobs following its takeover of British chipmaker Arm in 2016. However, these undertakings expired after five years and the Japanese conglomerate subsequently cut hundreds of roles.
Royal Mail said it will continue to hold discussions with EP Group over the scope and duration of the undertakings, which would be made to ministers as well as to the company.
Keith Williams, chairman of IDS, said Mr Kretinsky's commitments โshould ensure that IDS continues to deliver the key elements of the universal service in the UK and protect the interests of the workforce at both Royal Mail and GLS.โ
The two companies will now start to carry out due diligence, though bosses warned there was no certainty that a firm offer will be made.
Mr Williams said: โThe board is minded to recommend this offer price, which it considers to be fair and reflects the value of GLS' current growth plans and the progress being made on change at Royal Mail to adapt the business to a significant fall in the demand for letters and growth in parcels.โ
Redwheel, one of IDS's largest investors, previously supported the board's decision to reject Mr Kretinsky's initial takeover bid.
It has argued that GLS alone is worth 350p per share, meaning that under the terms of the improved bid Royal Mail would be worth just 20p per share โ or ยฃ192m โ not even big enough to get into the FTSE 350.
Shares in IDS surged as much as 20pc to 327p following the revised offer proposal, which came just three hours before a deadline imposed under City takeover rules.
Mr Kretinsky, who is also an investor in West Ham Football Club and Sainsbury's, is already the largest shareholder in IDS with a stake of more than 27pc.
His swoop has proven controversial given the sensitive nature of the postal service.
Sir Vince Cable, who oversaw the privatisation of Royal Mail in 2013, has called on ministers to carry out a fit and proper person test on Mr Kretinsky.
The Czech sphinx was previously subject to a national security investigation when he increased his stake in the company above 25pc in 2022, though this was ultimately approved.
A government spokesman said: โWe recognise the importance of the Royal Mail to the British public, and we are monitoring these developments very closely.
โOur priority is to ensure that Royal Mail customers get the service they deserve, including six days-a-week deliveries and a guaranteed standardised price for post throughout the UK, as enshrined by the universal service obligations, regardless of the owner.
โWe will engage with the bidder at an appropriate time to explain our expectations for the future of Royal Mail.โ
In a letter to Mr Kretinsky on Wednesday, Jonathan Reynolds, the shadow business secretary, asked the tycoon to confirm that Royal Mail would remain headquartered and tax resident in the UK, as well as calling for guarantees around postal workers' rights.
He wrote: โWhilst it's important that Britain remains open and attractive to foreign investment, Royal Mail is an iconic British institution with a unique place in our society and infrastructure.
โRoyal Mail is as British as it gets, and Labour will take the necessary steps to safeguard its undeniable identity and place in public life.โ
The Czech tycoon is also facing opposition from the Communication Workers Union (CWU), which represents around 115,000 postal workers.
In a statement on Wednesday, Dave Ward, the CWU general secretary said: โIt cannot be right that a key part of national infrastructure is allowed to be owned by individuals or companies who have no vision for the future and no clear plan to put the workforce at the heart of turning Royal Mail around.โ
Mr Ward accused the company's board of trying to โrun letter deliveries into the ground and become just another glorified parcels company.โ
EP Group's revised offer consists of 360p per share in cash, plus a final dividend of 2p expected to be paid in September and a special dividend of 8p which would be paid on completion of the deal.
EP Group declined to comment.

It is difficult to treat anovulatory infertility in obese women because, as mentioned above, the obese women have a lower chance of conception following ART as they require a higher dosage of gonadotropin, respond poorly to ovarian stimulation, and have a higher risk of miscarriage.
It's time for Reddit 
https://old.reddit.com/r/TryingForABaby/comments/10j5gxy/obesity_and_fertility/?sort=controversial
Weight as a standalone factor does not cause infertility. There is evidence to suggest that people on the high end and on the low end of the BMI scale have a longer time to pregnancy than someone in the middle. Weighing 10 more pounds than you want to will not suddenly make you infertile.
Came here to say this too. That having a low BMI and being underweight is also counterproductive to fertility. I'm naturally thin and live a healthy lifestyle but have been trying to get more healthy fats and protein to be in a higher BMI range for TTC. Everyone has their own challenges. You may never really know what is affecting fertility as well so the statistical definition of a healthy BMI for TTC is only part of the puzzle.
Yes anorexia is serious problem, less than 1% of women in US have anorexia and this % includes children so in adult women the percentage is like 0.01% so yeah very important when at least 40% foids are landwhales so that would mean per 4000 obese women only 1 will have anorexia so obviously women will focus fixing anorexia instead of other problem.
I mean, I understand that. I'm an MD with a certification in Pediatric Weight Management, so I have a lot of baseline understanding regarding the pathophysiology of obesity, mainly in pediatric patients. But it clearly affects fertility a lot more than many of the other things discussed frequently on this sub, so as I begin to go past the time by which most couples conceive, I'd like to collect as much info as I can.
FWIW, I'm 10lbs into the obese range, but I weigh about 40-50lbs more than I'd like to.
Take a downvote b-word, for phatophobia
I'm very much of the opinion that bigger bodies carry healthy pregnancies more often than not. BMI is not a great indicator of health and there is always more nuance to these studies than is truly captured in data. There are studies that certainly show increases in time to pregnancy and increases in rates of anovulation with high BMI. While these are statistically significant the difference is often minimal.
this is such a helpful and thoughtful response!
But when article says being obese is bad for men
All the queens agree

So I was sitting with a guy at work at lunch playing Mario Kart
He'd been blasting about his skill at Mario Kart for a while so I suggested we bring our Nintendo Switches in and settle things
He is a zoomer so has only ever experience Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Switch. He didn't even know it was a Wii U game first. He hadn't even heard of the Wii U lmao.
Me, being a pro at every Mario Kart since 64 (SNES version sucked), beat him easily, but I was still very happy in doing so.
As I'm smiling and doing a little victory dance, he goes to me "You look quite feminine when you do that".
He's quite blunt but not in a mean way. It's like he's got no inhibitions about talking to someone about sensitive subjects. Probably autism.
I asked him what he meant and he went quiet and just mumbled "Sorry just thought the way you laughed and smiled was a bit feminine."
Someone else chipped in with "Yeah it's your girly lips."
I can handle shit like this so I didn't get upset and gave them some banter back.
But I've been thinking all afternoon. Do they know?
I've got a beard, male-pattern baldness and am quite muscly. Basically look like a stocky manlet. But do they know? Should I care if they do?
