    From reading the penny arcade blog about it and watching the trailer, it seems to be an arthouse movie that just happens to be made by the most famous people on earth. You might love it or hate it but most people just won’t get it either way

          To be fair, that includes a large popcorn.

      It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.

        Since others have explained what those stories are about, the juxtaposition is about the idea of the Ubermensch being the savior of humanity, namely one where the Ubermensch are capitalists, is a dead concept in a world where we’ve let the capitalists run everything and result is an unmitigated disaster.

        Turns out, they just want money and power. That’s it, they can’t save us. Why is this movie venerating them?

    My favorite part is when the main character shouts “its megalopolin time” and then he megalopped all over the place

    When I heard about this movie I thought is was a live action movie adaptation of the anime classic Doomed Megalopolis.

    Turns out is was a doomed Megalopolis of a different sort.
