He's 86, what ship?

lifestyleguru•3mo ago
Perfect age to become president of US of A.

I mean, it is a very odd movie. It wasn't marketed at all and the production and overall atmosphere feel more like a movie with less than 1/20th of the stated budget. Like an obscure cable TV thing.

Would have been better investing $5M each in 20 new promising directors.

boogieknite•3mo ago
quite odd. atmosphere is the right word. the financial failure almost guarantees Megalopolis is unique. id say its ripe for reevaluation in 10 years but good chance nobody really checks in out by 2034. Criterion might be able to give it a cult following?

i liked it a lot but was the only person in my tiny audience who seemed to genuinely enjoy it. other audience members couldnt help but talk about their confusion with each other afterward

it seemed like Coppola genuinely believed he could fix the world with the movie and spending any amount was worth it. instead we have an odd, artistic, and self-indulgent movie

maratc•3mo ago
> in 2021, Coppola was presented with the watch

There's nothing "antique" about an F.P. Journe watch from 2021.

4ggr0•3mo ago
it's clearly a pretty special watch

› which tells time using the fingers and thumb retracting and extending. Production versions of the watch have sold privately for around $1 million, according to THR.

maratc•3mo ago
> it's clearly a pretty special watch

Not arguing with that: https://www.fpjourne.com/en/collection/classique-collection/...

It's neither "old" nor "outdated" nor "ancient," and it's not "made in imitation of antiquity" so I don't understand why they call this watch "antique." It's a cutting edge thing, as far as modern horology goes.

cool_man_bob•3mo ago
The other day. I saw a news article on Facebook roughly along the lines of:

“Celebrity A angry at people mourning the death of celebrity B”

Pretty odd sounding right? Upon looking at the comments though, people pointed out that Celebrity A was not angry at people “mourning” Celebrity B but “mocking”.

A bit of an odd typo, or perhaps a blatant lie to capture attention, among the most valuable currencies. There are no potential consequences only potential benefits to lying.

lifestyleguru•3mo ago
> $100M loss on "Megalopolis"

Epic science fiction drama?! People nowadays have attention span of 30 seconds, even a trailer is too long.

add-sub-mul-div•3mo ago
A three hour Oppenheimer biopic with a nonlinear narrative structure made a billion dollars. Let's just admit this movie was bad.
reconnecting•3mo ago
The fact that Francis Coppola spent $100M of his own wealth to make this Work possible is fascinating.

People might have controversial opinions over the result, but that doesn't change what really matters here: he waived his fortune to make his point.

JojoFatsani•3mo ago
If I was his heir, I’d be pissed. Good thing Sophia Coppola and Thomas Mars have their own things going on
snypher•3mo ago
You're not really entitled to an inheritance. He can spend his money as he wishes.
