      Agreed, not heard of it outside Lemmy. Perhaps I’ve insulated myself from ads a little too well.

        I only heard about this because Coppola gave an interview about hiring “cancelled” actors so he didn’t seem “woke”.

        Yeah no thanks, FFC. I still remember you defending and bankrolling a CONVICTED child predator.

          Coppola was heavily involved in the production of the film where some of the abuse happened, and during the fallout he allegedly tried to sue the victim of the abuse for breach of contract

        I’ve mostly heard about the controversies (the fake AI quotes in the trailer, some alleged #metoo stuff on set, …). Reviews seem very mixed, some reviewers hate it, others love it, which makes me think some of them just don’t ‘get’ it?

        Yeah but usually if something is good, people will want to discuss it. This has gotten no hype, no post release discussion. It’s a ghost.

        Really odd for such a big budget movie.
