      Who knew that a badly conceived vanity project shrouded in the endless dickheadry of its central figure wouldn’t be a box office drawcard

      I mean, it was never designed to make money. It was an old man’s creative death rattle. I don’t think we can call it a flop.

      One of the worst movies I’ve seen in the cinema. Curiosity really does kill the cat. Or at least make em watch shitty movies

      Is this really that surprising to anyone given what we already knew about this film,the man was completely unstoppable in making bad PR for himself. We knew it was going to be a mess when he said at the beginning of the promo cycle he chose to cast cancelled actors on purpose instead of concentrating on Adam and the others that were well liked, then we had the story about him kissing extras on set without their consent and finally the weird AI reviews ensured it would be doomed.

      I love movies and absolutely love some of Coppola’s other films and this was the worst movie I’ve seen in at least a decade. It was suffocating to watch.

      i’m not interested in this movie, but the whole point of a movie shouldn’t be to make money. big-name directors *should* be using their clout to take risks and make something that isn’t for everyone!

      I’ve always been skeptical of the notion that these legendary directors could create the magnum opus of film if only they didn’t have “studio interference.”

      Nah…FFC desperately needed those notes and changes from executives. When left to his own devices, he’s unhinged and not in a good way.

      Every actor in this felt like they were in a different movie. Adam Driver’s semi Shakespearean line delivery made it seem like he was just doing different acting exercises. It wasn’t even the kind of bad you can laugh at and still be entertained, it was just awful.

      I’ve read many critics whose insights I always find interesting who actually liked the movie and I don’t think that making money is *the* point of movies either or that is a mark of quality. However, I can’t bring myself to see Shia LaBeouf on screen.

      coppola hasn’t made a good film since the 90s, arguably before that. him, scorsese, spielberg…many of our still living, iconic american filmmakers are simply making vanity projects at this point with their substantial wealth

      I don’t get it. How did it flop with such masterful writing as “What do you think of this boner I got?” and “You’re anal as hell, Cesar. I, on the other hand, am oral as hell.
