Now playing, only in theaters, then streaming in the blink of an eye. Unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Mind-bending and culture-shifting. It contains multiverses, naked emotions, character development, high-speed car chases, comedy, tragedy, a noir sensibility, war and peace, enlightenment, and sex. New perspectives on physical, emotional, psychological connections,  award-winning cinematography, and sex mixed with love. There’s a diabolical villain, tunnels, cliffsides, secret hideouts, a love story, a mysterious ghost, contemporary fantasy, water features, space travel, hummingbirds, and a cottage by the sea. Made on a shoestring budget, yet costing countless millions. Stars galore, a first-time director, a visionary cameraperson, and box-office magic. Let’s you in on the meaning of life, explains what happens after we die. It’ll take down the patriarchy and lift up the middle class. It’s a thriller, a killer, and costs more than a dollar-biller. Asks more questions than it answers. When least expected, the main character experiences a life-altering epiphany, a hilarious comeback is delivered with an appropriate eyeroll by the lead star’s sidekick, a treasure map is found in a false-bottom drawer leading to intrigue, mayhem, a bicycle chase, gunplay, getting high in a broom closet, and then hugging it out in a parking lot near The Empire State Building. It’s got spies, lies, chicken thighs, crossed eyes. Crime without punishment. Lives with deeper meaning. Banquets, earthquakes, pocket-watches, bouquets, philosophy, pretentious nuisances, everyday people, grocery-store baggers, truck drivers, tech geeks, and pet psychics. Lovemaking with tasteful lighting. Gunning down the villain on a rainy night. Lottery winners, sex workers, award-winning teachers, gym rats, script writers, compassionate and caring people just having coffee. A rascal finds redemption, our heroine with an eye-patch and a crimson cape faces down death-defying odds, and a wise old professor professes his lack of social skills in a heartwarming way. A feisty dog is saved by true love and a cat is adopted by a kind hippie who lives in a treehouse. Under the full moon the rock star turned vampire goes berserk. The bad guy gets gut shot and bleeds out in an abandoned warehouse, thinking back on his life and times of crime and wonders in multiple flashbacks what it was all for. The tides comes in, it starts raining 100-dollar bills, the bees make a big comeback, and the issues of the day are solved by the many and the few. The curtain comes down. Credits roll. Fade to black.
