Megalopolis | First Look Clip

Synopsis

Adam Driver stars as the idealistic architect and artist Caesar, planning to rebuild a city that has fallen to ruins, and Nathalie Emmanuel as the socialite daughter of his nemesis, a corrupt mayor (Giancarlo Esposito), who likes his municipal kingdom the way it is.

In his official logline for the film, Coppola describes Driver’s character as having the “power to stop time,” while Emmanuel’s character is caught between the two, deeply in love with the artist but loyal to her hard-charging father, “forcing her to discover what she truly believes humanity deserves.”

Koda, fratello orso

Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo abbiamo deciso di non parlare di un horror bensì di un thriller fantascientifico, un’opera indipendente che si dimostra piena di idee interessanti e ben gestite, Upgrade. Grey assiste all’omicidio di sua moglie da parte di alcuni assassini e viene ferito da quest’ultimi, rimanendo tetraplegico. Quando sembra che per lui non ci sia più…

We have a ton to say about each so join us! One note before you do though, that on the heels of our impromptu…

The Cutting Edge (1992)

As far as formulaic romantic comedies go, you could do far worse than The Cutting Edge. The leads are appealing and the sports angle does add a bit of zip to the recipe… but at the end of the day, it’s still a formulaic romantic comedy. You can predict every beat of this story minutes in.

Kate Moseley (Moira Kelly) is a spoiled but talented figure skater whose attitude has driven away every one of her partners. Doug Dorsey was the captain of the U.S. ice hockey team until a head injury forced him to retire and killed his olympic dreams. When Kate’s coach, Anton Pamchenko (Roy Dotrice) decides to recruit the former hockey star as Kate’s partner for the upcoming 1992 Olympics, it looks like a bad idea. They clash constantly. They can’t stand each other… but their animosity means neither will be the first to quit.

I should let you write the rest of this review. Do I have to tell you that Doug is a ladies’ man, that Kate is engaged to a man she has nothing in common with, that a turning point in the story has her breaking off her engagement to try and seduce Doug but that when she goes to apologize to him the next morning she finds him in bed with a rival skater, prompting a big argument? That’s all obvious, as are the reasons why they don’t initially get along. Kate is a prima donna who considers hockey a sport for oafs. Doug thinks figure skating is for girls and is embarassed to admit what he’s doing to his older brother. Of course. Is there any other way they could behave? Not in these types of movies.

Once the initial friction subsides and the pair begins competing to attend the Olympics, things don’t get any less conventional. Even when the movie tries to fool you into thinking it’ll do the unexpected, you know better. For crying out loud, the way characters are introduced or what they look like tells you exactly what part they’ll play in this story.

Following a formula doesn’t necessarily make a bad movie but this film isn’t an early example of the rom-com genre; it came out in 1992 when we were far too familiar with the tropes to be satisfied with the basics once again. That said, there is a certain charm to this tried-and-true formula. I couldn't hate the movie because it doesn’t do anything badly. Usually, these plots have to jump through all sorts of contrived hoops to go the way they do and this one does not. It’s a lot more grounded than expected. There is also the appeal of seeing well-performed figure skating routines shot from the perfect angle, featuring people we actually know. This keeps you invested enough to keep watching despite knowing well in advance what the ending will be.

The worst thing about The Cutting Edge is that it’s basic. This is the sort of movie you’d see as a kid or young teen and enjoy. For years, you'd be dumbfounded, wondering why others don’t share the same enthusiasm for it that you do. Over the years, you’d realize why. This has all been done before and better. For that reason, I can’t recommend The Cutting Edge, but it’s a near miss. (On DVD, October 3, 2021)

Mad Sweeny NSFW Alphabet

A = After (what they’re like after sex)

He tends to bask in the afterglow for a little, before he has to piss. He might go for a smoke afterwards.

He'll then come back and cuddle up, loving it when you play with his hair or play connect the dots with his freckles.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

On himself, cock and hands. On you, most certainly your ass. Your hips and tits both come close second, but your ass just drives him up every available wall.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

Huge loads, gushing out of every orifice you'll let him dump it in. It somehow seems to shine a bit golden and it tastes like old magic.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

He has no secrets. He is an open book. Even when it comes to getting down and dirty, he'll not be ashamed to just state it plain and clear.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Oh you know this guy has already tried everything once. He's been around the block a good few times.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

You in his lap / cowgirl. He loves to see you ride him, look up at your tits bounce, grab at your arse.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

Sweeney knows how to goof off. He will absolutely be silly when you are intimate, his laughter coming easy.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Man is ginger all over. Full bush with no shame!

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

He is surprisingly needy for affection. He wants to be close to you, almost desperate for your love, clinging to you for every scrap of intimacy.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

Sweeney is not beyond chasing after a quick high when you are not available.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Sex in public, breeding, overstim, size difference, edging, slapping and cum marking.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

Changing rooms, tables and meadows full of flowers (bonus points if there is a fairy ring big enough for him to lay down in)

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

Your tits, your ass, the noises your make, the sunshine in your hair, your scent, when you rub against him, the way you walk, the way you say his name and when you wear jewelry with sun imagery.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

DDLG, scat and vom

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

YES PLEASE. He loves it when you suck his cock, but he can lavish for HOURS between your thighs. And he is definitely not beyond rimming.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

He is usually fast and rough, but has no issue taking his time on you if you want it so.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

OF COURSE, WHEN EVER YOU WANT BABY!

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

Oh you bet your bottom penny he is a risk taker. In every sense of the word. He will fuck you in a public restroom with the door unlocked. This guy does not give a flying fudge what is at stake, or about common descency, for that matter.

And of course he is super game to experiment with almost everything you bring up to him!

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

He is a God, he can last for literal days! He does not do this because he knows your body cannot take this and he is not a fan of not absolutely reveling in the pleasure sex brings him. He lasts on average 40ish minutes, tho he will bring on his climax when you let him know you are getting sore/beg him for his seed. And he has zero refractory period.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

He does not own toys, but has no issue using any you own, on you and on himself.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

He is of the Fae, of course he likes to tease. The more you are squirming and begging, the better!

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

L O U D He grunts and groans like a rutting boar, not to mention how DIRTY he dirty talks!!!

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

Talks dirty gaelic when he is really deep in that throws of pleasure, especially when you have edged him for a bit.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

He is hung, uncut and veiny. He got that godly cock baby!

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Resting Mood: Horny!

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

Sometimes he just knocks out right away and other times he just shoves his head between your breasts and lays awake half the night, there is no telling which will happen when.
