Anyone else really struggling with how the hell you pronounce Megalopolis? It's just a really unnatural word.

Ah that's the film Coppola put 120m of his own money into.

I love how the beginning of that trailer is basically a "Fuck You" list

Jesus Christ, what the fuck is that?
I love how the beginning of that trailer is basically a "Fuck You" list Rather falls flat on its face going from The Godfather to Apocalypse Now and then on to Bram Stoker's Dracula! The first two were certainly harshly treated at release by some but Dracula is just crap. |

Using two separate Andrew Sarris quotes and then Pauline *fucking* Kael for The Godfather is not a good start for your argument that all your films have been massively misunderstood. The film was a box office smash and critics darling.

The Godfather was thought so terrible it won three Oscars including Best Picture.

I started watching it but after one and a quarter seconds I was confused as to when the trailer would start, so gave up.

I quite like how he's handled it. He's 85. Probably doesn't give a fuck and it's his money.

This all feels a bit gaslighty.
You were all wrong about my critically adored masterpieces but people finally saw the light with those. The same thing is happening here!!!
Erm. Or maybe it's just a bit duff, mate..
Did make me laugh including Dracula after The Godfather and Apocalypse now... That had the makings of a great film, but some woeful casting (well, mainly Keanu)

It's the thing he wanted to make and he put up his own money to get it done, that at least is worth some kind of respect imo. Fwiw I didn't love the movie, but I'm glad I saw it. I want more directors to be able to make their weird passion project movies, it's way more interesting to me than most product from the major studios. |

Minecraft will make a lot more money than Borderlands, watching that trailer I'm not sure it'll be a better movie.

When Minecraft makes a billion there's bound to be a Roblox movie.

Has Jared Hess done anything since Nacho Libre? And he’s got his hands on a license to print money like Minecraft?!
It looks shite but every 6-14yr old in the world is going to drag their families to see it ten or twelve times each.

Mega-Lols has got a new trailer, looks the same as the last one without the AI generated bollocks about Coppola's previous films.
