I enjoyed your analysis and thoughts on the film. It would be nice if more people were talking about the ideas in the film instead of just critiquing the structure. Its odd that there has been practically no discussion about the films subject matter. Maybe people don't remember the early 2000's when the Zeitgeist film drew attention to The Venus Project, and the resurgance of Ayn Rand in the public mind. Today the idea of a utopian city is becoming a reality with Saudi Arabia literally building one now, and US tech billionaires building momentum for the same here in the states. Theres a lot of interesting stuff here. But maybe the brain-rot is just too extensive today to stimulate such discussion. Anyway, I'm glad you did your part and brought some of this to the table.
You should do an episode on the state of hollywood and mass media on a whole with Emplemon. The two of you have convergently come to alot of the same conclusions about modern day movie reviewers and the whole corporate vs visionary dichotomy of film making. Emp even mentioned the weird aversion people have against saying a movie is bad now and how its trickled down from the movie critics themselves.
Imagine a gorgeous, gilded train. Now imagine it banking too sharply, going off the rails, and smashing itself into a gigantic, smoldering heap. Now imagine that golden, smoking train wreck glittering in the setting sun. That's this movie.
The premise of Val having to drink himself into a stupor to enter the world of fiction of find a, "bullet proof"ending is bad ass. And something any writer can identify with. And the tom waits narration is awesome.
Killer Bean Forever should be evidence that film is not necessarily a collaborative medium. Same for Bill Plympton. Sita Sings the Blues. Its not hard to find one-person or mostly-one-person productions, but someone who's paying off their CalArts student loan and hoping to one day get to direct doesn't want to know they took the long way.
It's been awhile since we had a movie people just honest-to-god HATE. Everyone's "in on the joke" with the Sony Marvel movies. Everyone likes the part where he morbed all over the etc. etc. etc. This movie's detractors aren't having fun, it's not a meme, they just had a really bad time at the movies, and that's kind of exciting in itself.
I think it was kind of weird people hated Shia, and also thought well maybe because he was exactly the cult of personality politician they vote for on both sides of the aisle.

Whenever Hans not on screen, everyone should be asking, “where’s Hans?”
Always love the solo episodes, excited to watch
Thanks brother

Total agreement on New York Stories. “Life Lessons” is one my favourite Scorsese flicks period, yet the others are tough to get through.

TWIXT ACTUALLY ROCKS. AMAZING DRUNK KILMER PERFORMANCE. GREAT ATMOSPHERE.
I have only seen B’TWIXT

I fell asleep in the theatre with 20 minutes left and missed the ending and was woken up by staff. The edible kicked in too late.
i thought the film was terrible but i appreciate coppola's ambition

I really enjoyed this movie!
Ezra Miller and Jared Leto are box office poison. How either of them have careers is beyond me.
Ezra should've stuck to smaller stuff like Afterschool and we need to talk about kevin, good actor

I thought he and Aubrey were the best characters in this!
