Closely linked to existentialism and the impossible balancing act between living a life adhering to rules and societal norms one believes in and acknowledging that, in the context of the grander universe around us, these rules are largely meaningless, absurdism is defined as an intentional pursuit of the ridiculous or bizarre. One of its greatest implementations has been in comedy cinema, often used to skewer societal understandings of issues while offering plenty of outrageous laughs.

It was a mega blunder. 

The trailer for the latest Francis Ford Coppola movie, “Megalopolis,” premiered on Wednesday. 

Soon after, Lionsgate studio recalled the trailer. 

“Lionsgate is immediately recalling our trailer for Megalopolis. We offer our sincere apologies to the critics involved and to Francis Ford Coppola and American Zoetrope for this inexcusable error in our vetting process,” a Lionsgate spokesperson told The Post. 

“We screwed up. We are sorry.”





In the trailer, the on-screen narration said, “True genius is often misunderstood. One filmmaker has always been ahead of his time.”

Foolish Kevin Costner, Francis Ford Coppola certainly made a splash — in the...

Francis Ford Coppola  is sitting in a large, library-like space that is right next to the gift-shop area of his Niebaum Coppola Estate Winery in Napa, California, behind a usually closed set of doors. The awards, family pictures, and massive collection of vintage zoetropes are all in the lobby. The tasting room, which resembles something like a 15th-­century monastery, albeit one with a state-of-the-art espresso machine, is on the other side of the chateau. The room where the 85-year-old filmmaker, winemaker, and overall rainmaker is currently mugging for a photographer and fiddling with his breakaway glasses is filled with floor-to-­ceiling...

A historic marker could be erected to honor the victims of the racist mass shooting at the Dollar General store in Jacksonville’s New Town neighborhood nearly a year ago. If approved by the Jacksonville City Council, a marker would be installed at Kings Road and Canal Street on Aug. 25, a day before the first anniversary of the shooting, when a white gunman took the lives of three Black people.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

Reverting to old Disney+ streaming expectations led to Pixar's Inside Out 2 becoming the biggest box office hit of 2024. Heading into the new year, Pixar was no longer a sure thing for box office success, as no Pixar film had crossed $500 million globally since 2019's Toy Story 4. One of the main reasons was that projects like Soul, Turning Red, and Luca were all straight-to-streaming releases in the United States.

When I learned the brown tarantula is also native to Missouri, I gasped, and when I say I'm not too fond of spiders of any genus is an understatement. It's psychological. They have too many legs.
