I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Went and saw Megalopolis last night and I'm glad I did. Impossible to say whether it was “good” or “bad” (although probably bad). There is much to admire about it. It’s hard not to tip your hat to the guy. I’m glad it exists. I liked how theatrical it was. There were some wonderfully unhinged performances from the side characters, who were all more entertaining than the main characters.
When it was coherent, the story was fairly simple and straightforward. Yet somehow still a jumbled, convoluted mess. But almost in an endearing way, I found. There’s so much going on. Somehow both riveting and boring. The best parts are when it really gets delirious and wacky. Jon Voight with a bow and arrow is a highlight.

Just to clarify, my Stremio guide wasn't outdated when I made it, but there have since been many changes to the platform in order to obscure its "illegal torrent streaming" aspect. It's still well suited for that purpose but you have to go alternative routes to find out how. For instance, you can no longer simply install the torrent sides from the Community Add-ons section. This makes it less convenient, but all it really means is you have to go to each add-on's page and download it from there.
