They only do that in your bizarre paranoid fantasies. What's happening is different individuals are responding to what they saw.

sounds like it was promising but he needed a producer to fully rein him in

The reviews on Letterboxd are so bad.

They are mixed, range between terrible and great.

Is it trying to?

Two things I very much love.

 

You have sanctioned Coppola's buffoonery 

[OncomingStorm93]

My excitement for this is skyrocketing. Art and/or trash, this film’s existence is like an urban legend. I think this is already destined to be a cult classic, a midnight-movie

I really dislike Discussing Film. The movie has less than 10 reviews on RT and they already declare its rating. Idiots.

Lol that thing about

 

Spoiler

Someone getting up in the audience to ask a question to Adam Driver's character

A late Coppola film beinddivisive. Just imagine that.

The guy made what might be my all time favoirte movie in "The Godfather" (withe GOdfather 2 not far behind" and a couple of other  great one like Apocalpyse Now, but yeah, his late work is a mixed bag.

At least it will have an interesting look. The production designer is Beth Mickle, who has been doing most of James Gunn's movies and is currently working on "Superman Legacy", this gives her a chance for something completly different.

Wait, is this why the promotional thing comes with a 100 mil price tag? To pay for this?

[dudalb]

All the fuss and differing opinions make me more anxous to see this.

I see a mixed reception really  throws some people off.

[SpiderByte]

That would explain why people would be hesitant to distribute it because...who would even be the one doing that?

Not shocking. FFC has not made a good film in a long long time.

[JimmyB]

Maybe, Neon picks it up.  100m in marketing was never happening.

 

Neon paid $15–17 million for the United States distribution rights in a bidding war that also included A24 for Ferrari. Neon also spent around $7 million to market the film in the United States

Before the reviews hit I figured one of the big streamers would get this but now that it looks like the movie has no awards potential I don't know who would even want this.

[SpiderByte]

I was kinda joking about the F cinemascore but it does sound like a really really hard sell

With that one spoiler element, I don't think a streamer picking it up is possible without a very wide release...but this sounds like an insanely risky bet for that. I dunno
