It&#8217;s definitely not lighthearted, but not relentlessly down. The story actually lets L\u00e1szl\u00f3 the architect have some good days. Crazy! It&#8217;s also over three hours long plus an intermission, but it didn&#8217;t feel long at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BONUS RANT! WHEEEEE!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My main problems with the movie had nothing to do with the movie. For the record: Going to the Westfield Plaza Century City AMC 15 Theatre <strong>suuuuuuuuucks<\/strong>. The underground parking is narrow and labyrinthine; the spot I eventually found required parallel parking against the driver&#8217;s side, with a bonus low pole to make it extra challenging.  Inside the theater the people next to me kept having a conversation, and two people in front of me thought a long movie with subtitles was a great time to send text messages. Oh, and a guy&#8217;s phone rang. People still have their ringers on?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yeah, it gets pretty brutal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2059,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"activitypub_content_warning":"","activitypub_content_visibility":"","activitypub_max_image_attachments":10,"activitypub_interaction_policy_quote":"anyone","activitypub_status":"federated","footnotes":""},"categories":[161,63],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2057","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-movie-pass-adventures","category-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2057","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2057"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2057\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2060,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2057\/revisions\/2060"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2059"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2057"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2057"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
