The most predictable thing happened as Francis Ford Coppola's MegaSLOPolis bombs hard. Gets D+ cinemascore as well .

"if civilization had been left in female hands, we would still be living in grass huts" but in a GOOD WAY

When I read that I refused to believe it... but holy frick it's true.

There are no definitive matriarchies at any point in history.

wow he's r-slurred

>men are... le bad

He's talking about the Kurgan Hypothesis, an r-slured idea that evolved out of proto-Nazi German racial theory. This kind of bullshit was prominent in pop science in boomer times, and back then you couldn't just get on the internet and find out the real science. But these people wouldn't have bothered to find out the real science anyway. They're midwits just like the ones from our generations, people who decide that it's easier to be a lazy r-slur than actually think hard.

Horses made the patriarchy universal might be the most pseud-pilled historically illiterate take I've seen in a minute. I guess North America didn't have any patriarchy until mayos brought they horses with them too, right?

jfc orange man really buck broke his brain

This is the same premise that the New Age and psychedelic cult of Terrence Mckenna are based on. Wipe your mind back to the non-verbal so you can assimilate with Mother Gaia. All based on shitty anthropology from the 70s. Environmental determinism and making up stuff from the archaeological record ("look theres a Longhouse everyone was matriarchal and had no conflict ever, like my heckin Pocahontas!!") is peak midwit

This is MAGApolis!

There was a brief moment in the 1980s-1990s where these two forces were almost in balance.

Example: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. The first movie had gone way over budget, so the studio didn't pay a lot for this one. They got Nick Meyer, extremely artsy in a good way, on to direct and do the final draft of the script. They got Bob Sallin in as producer, a guy who had done a million commercials and knew how to actually fricking deliver a product on time on budget. So you get the best parts of Nick Meyer's imagination with him getting restrained from the excesses he gets into when he's uncontrolled. And the movie actually gets finished on time so it isn't some mess where in editing they have to try to stitch together a bunch of unrelated clips to try to have a coherent story.

That's how Hollywood should work.

A lot of people are pooping on the acting calling it embarassing.

Also "it's satire, it's supposed to be goofy/bad" defences are already popping up.

Directors need to make films they want to make while having a studio periodically hit them over the head with a bat so they don't make this.

Honestly absolutely nothing - it's like if you gave 40 different writers the premise for a movie and then shuffled the scripts together

What kind of movie do you get when you mix up New York, the Cataline Conspiracy, Metropolis, and the Fountainhead? Also the director thought of this back in the 70s while high as a kite.

>You would get a dystopian political thriller that blends themes of corruption, power struggles, and architectural symbolism in a cityscape of towering ambition and crumbling ideals. Here's a breakdown of the elements:

>1. New York: The setting would be a dense, hyper-modernized urban environment reflecting New York's intense energy, political undercurrents, and social stratification.

>2. Cataline Conspiracy: The film's plot would revolve around political intrigue and betrayal, with an underdog faction attempting to overthrow an entrenched, corrupt ruling class, mirroring the conspiracy's themes of political subversion and rebellion in ancient Rome.

>3. Metropolis: Visually, you'd have an industrial, expressionist cityscape, with towering structures and a stark divide between the elite and the oppressed working class. Themes of dehumanization, technology, and class struggle would dominate the aesthetic and atmosphere.

>4. The Fountainhead: The protagonist would likely be an uncompromising, egotistical architect or visionary figure battling against conformity and the mob mentality, seeking to impose their ideal vision on society at large, echoing Howard Roark's struggles in Ayn Rand's novel.

>The director being high in the '70s: The film would feature surreal, dreamlike sequences, intense, often chaotic visuals, and nonlinear storytelling. There would be a blend of paranoia, existential dread, and possibly hallucinatory elements, enhancing the film's reflection on societal decay, the individual's battle with the system, and the collapse of grand ideals.

>In summary, you'd have a gritty, visually bold, politically charged film with intense philosophical underpinnings, likely blending realism with a trippy, heightened sense of reality—an urban epic that critiques power, corruption, and the pursuit of personal greatness.

Would it be watchable?

>It could be watchable, but its appeal would depend heavily on execution. A film like this would likely cater to a niche audience, drawn by its intellectual depth, political allegory, and avant-garde style. Given the themes and the '70s psychedelic influence, it might come across as dense, disjointed, or even pretentious if not handled well.

Event horizon was meh at best

I don't actually know who you're referring to, so I googled best Lionsgate movies and found this

Is it wrong that I kind of wish this neighbor goes broke and loses his wine fields over this vanity project?

Yes, we should be encouraging more mental ego projects

Why did someone save this

Presumably it's either @nuclearshill @Stoicpeace or @LatinxShippingCompany but why. Why does at least one r-slur save all my posts and many of my comments? What are you doing with them?

Why

CAPY make saves public. There's no reason not to

Apparently, the acting is really bad and that the effects look like Spy Kids 3D. It's not "weird" in the way a Lynch or a Jodorowsky movie is weird. It's just plain bad in many aspects.

Everyone said his Dracula movie was dogshit, but it was actually very nice and pretty.

Gonna go see this at 11:15 on a Tuesday so the short-staffed ticket ripper has to come in and say the line

>Apocalypse Now was shit
