The trailer was enough.
Didn’t even feel like a movie to me. More like a hodgepodge of some interesting concepts that needed way more time in the oven. Some of the shots at night popped out visually, but then you’d also have some shots of the city that’d look like AI-generated concept art.

Aubrey Plaza as Auntie :wow: tho really gave me something, I thought. Shia as well, to a certain extent. Everybody else felt wooden to me.

I feel like Nathalie Emmanuel will eventually be someone where people, be it on the podcasts or any random convo, will ask “Whatever happened to that one actress?” “Whoa damn, yeah…we haven’t seen her since Game of Thrones ended really.”

Then they spot Megalopolis and an empty void afterwards in her filmography and let out an:

“…Oh.” :francis:

:mjcry: When Coppla lost the juice, you already know Hollywood is finished. All these dikkheads need to do is just take video game adaptions and just FOLLOW the story. BOOM you have a golden era of cinema.

Imagine a film based on the video game series Bioshock. Instant racks on racks. Sadly, that's never going to be the case because Hollywood is still on obtuse boomer money and lack of reckless ideas.

It came across like Nathalie’s sole purpose of even being in the film was to just look good, because she doesn’t do much else. If she doesn’t get any more big work after this, I wouldn’t be all that shocked.

The script is cheeks, but Aubrey and Shia at the very least managed to make something out of what they had. Those two seemed to embraced how silly this shyt really was, and it kinda worked for me. Even an 85-year-old Jon Voight did a little something. That being said, I still couldn’t wait for this shyt to be over.

Francis dedicated this film to his late wife Eleanor and my audience could not stop chuckling at the bit because what the fukk. He’s about to be haunted for the rest of his life if he hasn’t already been. :pachaha:

damn man, that's sad to hear. :francis:

im not familiar with of Natahlie's work, because I've never watched Game of Thrones believe it or not, and i've never seen any movies she's been in

hell, if it wasn't for The Coli, i wouldn't even know who she is lol

but with that said, women have it hard enough trying to be seen as more than just a "pretty woman" in the movies, so when a talented (im assuming) woman like her gets railroaded by just being the "pretty woman" in the film without being able to really stretch and showcase her talent, it sucks

no lie, i saw the trailer for this movie and was "wtf is this?!" it just looked like a mess and i know, you can't always just judge by a trailer, but the trailer already had me like "this movie looks like one big catastrophe" lol


i hope Natahlie gets another chance to really showcase her talent on screen
