Re: Francis Ford Coppola
Not least because of the possibility that he could be the first filmmaker to win the Palme d’Or three times.
And the mere fact that he’s already done it twice should make him a shoo-in, unless the film is terrible.

Re: Trailers for Upcoming Films
Oh man, I can already hear the pushback against how Sky Captain-y the special effects look. Love it, can't wait!

Really like the Vertigo homage as well. Psyched about this.

Re: Megalopolis (Francis Ford Coppola, 2024)
I can't muster up much enthusiasm for this, especially since the trailer came out and how on the nose the "fall of the Roman Empire" allusions are, down to the risible CGI statues which come to life. I'm afraid that rather than being a return to form, this will join Coppola's other 21st century bizarro misfires.

Reviews are, as expected, rather divided, but the Deadline review by Damon Wise has me quite excited for it - including the negative points.

The more I hear about it, the more I'm reminded of Julie Taymor's 1999 adaptation of Titus Andronicus.

That can only be a good thing. (Though nothing could ever match Anthony Hopkins flouncing around in a chef’s toque.)

I can see myself doing a Babylon - Megalopolis party night in the future. What brave Director will name a film after a city in 2025?
