Probably Diss to Shia Lebuf.By the time the credits rolled after a very on-the-nose, closing shot of a beautiful baby (emphasizing the future — we definitely got the point) the audience had enough. A couple of loud boos rang out, along with some very tepid applause and mostly silence

One from the Heart is at 51% on RT and it's a masterpiece.
Some critics even shytted on Apocalypse Now when it dropped.
Coppola has always been ahead of the curve and i'll always take a glorious mess over some tepid milquetoast bullshyt that scores 91% on RT because it didn't offend anyone.

Looking forward to seeing this. Maybe it's a mess but why wouldn't I want to see a mess from one of the greatest directors of all time? I also tend to think that poorly received films from great directors are often better than advertised. Some of David Cronenberg's recent films, specifically Cosmopolis and Map To The Stars, were heavily slammed by critics yet both are very interesting films worth watching.
As this guy states, I also think that art criticism is at such a low level right now it's impossible to really take it seriously. We have a generation of critics who don't read, have no context for anything, chase social media engagement, and are possessed by whatever the group think of the time is. I'm not saying this movie is gonna be amazing, it might be bad lol. Just that it seems clear a lot of people can't digest it without relying on recent comparisons, not to mention the inability to react to art beyond the range of "it's terrible or it's amazing."

I’ve conditioned myself to tune out anything with Adam ‘mouth breathing’ Driver in it.
If i wanted to watch a brain dead caveman flail around on screen I’d just watch the flintstones, far more entertaining

I think @smitty22 could fill that role too.
Standing ovation with loud boos is crazy
Looks terrible. From what's in the teaser the writing seems bad and the dialogue is delivered without any soul. Visually might be interesting, or just distracting, and I'm assuming the plot is incoherent.
People keep saying "Coppola is a GOAT!", but has he made a great film since the 1970s? Using his GOAT status to hype up this movie is like expecting that Mike Tyson is about to put together a master performance against Jake Paul.
