Ok, I’m not usually one to post random movie reviews on here, but you know that movie with Adam Driver that just came out? Megalopolis.
Please go see that. It is one of the most batshit-insane experiences you will ever have in a movie theater. I don’t even know if I liked it or not because it’s so utterly impossible to grade on a curve, or even figure out which curve you’re supposed to grade it on. It sort of felt like watching a Star Wars prequel except set in modern America - the kind of singular monolithic entity of mad passion that can only exist when an artist is given a blank check and just does whatever the hell he wants with it.
This is a movie in which Shia LaBeouf, dressed like Caligula’s wife, leaks a forged sex tape of his rival onto a giant Jumbotron inside a Roman coliseum, then gleefully hops up and down in a chair and hisses to himself “Revenge tastes best while wearing a dress.”
