Y'all ever seen Megalopolis? Movie sucks. Coppola's at his best when he already understands how his narrative is meant to move -- i.e., when he's telling somebody else's, rather than trying to repackage the entire course of human history.

Looks gorgeous though. Ten or fifteen all-timer shots in that film.

A couple of lines from the notes app rounding this one out as well - I've been hanging onto "Like a crow on a powerline, I've got lightning under my feet" for a couple months and I don't think I'm done with it yet! "No weapon formed against me will prosper very long" has been in drafts since new year's, and I've used "the burden of a generation" in various forms twice before. But hey -- I needed a fourth verse. And it turns out I really only write about the same three or four things.

Shamelessly inspired by: "Young and Happy", Hop Along "That Was Your Mother", Paul Simon

How contemptible is the visage Of a great man, great man Silent eyed betrayer, No jury will understand Suck the poison out Patch the leaky ship Who are we that Let it come to this

Screw-eyed orphan Where do you turn your gaze Your flashy look of pure damnation Ceases to amaze, amaze, amaze Be resilient yet Give no ground tonight Tomorrow's sloping southward But this is an uphill fight.

[Ch] And I dream of wounds mending And I dream of happy endings Everything is gonna fix itself And I read the morning paper But there's nothing it can tell Everything's already gone to hell

Crickets Cry out in a great confusion And shadow Takes me by the collar and pulls Rivers are reversing somewhere All the vultures know The sun is getting low, low, low.

Crows on the power line Lightning at their feet The burden of a generation Shaking in the streets Plastic in the gutter We are altogether strong And no weapon formed against me Had better prosper very very long
