Trying to make sense of the Megalopolis descriptions in Sam Wasson's book--which starts present-day--was a real chore. That clip is sort of interesting, I guess, but hard to gauge much unless characters are interacting--Coppola's masterpieces in the '70s had great performances top to bottom

Reading reports on Twitter, this sounds terrible

Midnight Cowboy reunion! (True: I momentarily wondered if Voight and Hoffman had ever done a film together and googled it.)

as someone who thought the teaser looked awful, i'm glad to have been right. though the people who have been annoying about this film will continue to be so.

i'm more interested in interesting failures than boring ones so this sounds like it might be along those lines.

I've read some really scathing reviews, but it does sound interesting

Those reviews are a big red flag for me. "Fever dream" turns up in both; "...the beautiful, woozy, unforgettable, financially dead-on-arrival One From the Heart." For some people, I guess; I thought most of it was embarrassing.

looks cool to me. though I liked Twixt so am naturally excited to see what the director can do with a bigger budget.

Speaking of One From the Heart, Driver's haircut resembles Frederic Forrest's cut from OFTH.

I didn't like One From the Heart but I have more patience in this MU-dominated world by expensive auteurist farragoes. I'll watch this gladly.
