Read the World of Reel's description of the screening. Boy it would have been wild if it was coming out this weekend considering the ICE protests

Never thought I'd see a live performance of "Ash" (easily LSF's best song) with fully live vocals. You can tell they dialed back the choreo to pull it off, but clearly worth it.

Also helps that Kazuha has leveled up her voice and the group basically has 3 lead-worthy singers now. Sakura seems clearly improved here too, if a bit breathy.

I loved that TWBB had no oil drilling, buying land or even pipelines, so this is concerning.

I haven't seen it, but I sure hope not.  Imagine if CMBB was about oil.

"I don't need my human rights."

A simple and elegant fable about restoring the sap that has been sucked out of the Earth and our souls - how money moves between cartels of bureacracies (and once-friends) leaving each inch plundered and whether it's spirit, opportunism, or brute force that can set things on even keel.

Its heart is set in the same spot as Megalopolis' Crassus III's. There is a great deal thematically in common with the two, though they could not be more different formally. I think this brisk adventure-flick will sit better with audiences and yet I wonder if either movie can convince young acolytes toward a pious path. I'm so glad both exist.

Considering that Roman Coppola and Wes are such tight friends and wrote the story together, I do wonder if it was an explicit intention for AZK to be a slight amalgam of FFC and other billionaires or if it was only a happenstance, subconscious.
