But the roads get so slippery when it rains

Bilge Ebiri on the glum prospects for Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis:

Coppola has been playing a long game right from the start, which is why his risks seem so crazy at first. The world is a better place because Apocalypse Now and One From the Heart and Bram Stoker's Dracula and Youth Without Youth and The Cotton Club are in it.

I never got that people didn't like Bram Stoker's Dracula immediately. It was perfect then and it still is. At one point Auckland's Academy Cinema practically played One From the Heart in a loop. Saw it over and over. Remember movies? But you don't.

Here, of course, is Crystal Gayle and Tom Waits.
