A comment on Megalopolis is baffling and plainly nuts – but worth it. Parent comment

I had this notion that all the hip comedy writers in Hollywood should write jokes to make this he next Rocky Horror/Room. Do the old man a favor and help him make at least some of the money back. edit - I am seeing this is a common theme in the comments - there is something joyful about an earnest(?) movie that swings and misses.

It's too long. Rocky Horror is 100 minutes, Megalopolis is 138 minutes. The bad movies that endure have shorter runtimes.

I remember around the time of Army of Darkness Sam Raimi said his ideal running time for his pictures was 65 minutes -- he disliked the idea of blowing somebody's day over a silly movie.

Rocky Horror wasn’t bad, though. Campy, sure. But in many ways it was a masterpiece.
