Gotta EAT... by malamatijm	Mar 20th, 2007 03:04:17 AM
I have to ask where does this actually come from, I see that it appears multiple times in almost everytalk back and I have no idea how it started, unless it of course refers to harry be a little on the round side of things?

Do you even READ the articles completely BEFORE you talk about them? Here.. I'll Highlight the important bits... The FIRST LINE... "The new United Artists led by Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner IS IN TALKS to acquire..." "Reaction has been mixed, but several distribs were pursuing the project" Nowhere in the article does it say... Tom Cruise picked up the film for distribution. Fuck, maybe you should learn to EDIT stories, so then you have actual NEWS

Peggy Sue Got Re-Made by YokoTits	Mar 20th, 2007 04:45:36 AM
Something deep within Coppola shattered while filming "Apocalypse Now," a notoriously brutal production. He hasn't made a Vito since, just a couple Sonnys and whole mess of Fredos. But he can never be dismissed; every new film promises greatness. Still, overall, Coppola has produced more Part Threes than Part Twos. That old man had too much wine...
Worst Episode Ever by YokoTits	Mar 20th, 2007 04:57:12 AM
How can Coppola look his ol' buddy Lucas in the eye after the prequels?
and Alexandra Maria Lara by AllieJamison	Mar 20th, 2007 05:59:59 AM
I saw her on a german talk show where she talked a bit about meeting coppola and what it was like to work with him. of course she was just amazed by Coppola and the arty Raiders prospect (WTF?). Seriously, she seemed excited about the subject as this film is mostly based on the thoughts of a romanian philosopher coppola got hooked on quite a while ago. she was also explaining Coppola's flexibility regarding the circumstances of shooting and how he spontaneously displaced a scene set to be shot in a beach house in the ocean or on the shore because the weather was so wild...something like that. [you may have seen lara playing the secretary in THE DOWNFALL.]

do you think it's possible...just maybe...that Quint verified the fact that this is definitively happening, seperately? and that he included the article because they were the original source? if he had just transcribed it and put "Quint" at the bottom, you trolls would be screaming plaigarism... perhaps you should either: a) shut your yapper b) grow a brain, or c) go to the Lost talkback.

If You Can't Say Something Nice... by SakeDickens2006	Mar 20th, 2007 10:37:15 AM

Coppola... by MC Vamp	Mar 20th, 2007 10:52:58 AM
You realize that if Robert Duvall had relented in his contract talks and not done "Days of Thunder" and Winona Ryder had never dropped out of the production, "GODFATHER 3" would have wound up a classic? It's hard to think otherwise. The overwhelming weight on poor Sofia's shoulders making a debut in a pivotal role in the most eagerly awaited sequel ever (since the SW prequels weren't really a blip yet) and most importantly the absence of Tom "My Kraut/Mick Friend" Hagen, derailed a film that had all the necessary story elements but still lacked the full set of tools necessary to deliver. So Coppola may have had one last great film in him, but the Movie Gods decided he'd done enough and stepped in to take him down. I hope he's got another one up his sleeve. We'll see.
MC vamp nonsense, pal. by council estate scumbag	Mar 20th, 2007 11:13:18 AM
that film was destined to be buffalo shit from the start. you could smell it a mile off. the only glue that held that train wreck together was Pacino and thats a testiment to his talents and wickedness. Sofia was just plain shit and thats too bad for her. she needs to crank out some descent movies of her own to redeem her arse. coppola aint shit now. the man made JACK for fucks sake! wake up and smell the coffee...or your mum's ass whichever one is nearer.
Tim Roth... by jimmy_009	Mar 20th, 2007 11:51:54 AM
...should be suiting up in his Joker makeup right now, not getting involved with Francis Ford Coppola. The guy's best years are behind him, he should just hang up the camera. It's a shame that Tim Roth isn't better utilized by Hollywood. If there was justice in the world, Heath Ledger would be in this schlock and Tim Roth would be kicking the crap out of Batman.

Looking to his daughter for ideas? C'mon, quit while your behind Coppola.
A few bad movies don't ruin a career by Beastmanseventy	Mar 20th, 2007 12:00:21 PM
Have you any idea how many bad movies Takashi Miike makes a year? Twelve, and three good ones, each year. And still he's the most exciting working director. Of course "If he feels strongly enough to comeo ut of retirement for this film, it might be a classic" isn't really in character for a shit spewing talkbacker... So, carry on. Meanwhile I'll keep an open mind and have something to look forward to next year besides boring student films from Sundance and big budget flicks that shit all over Marvel heroes.
wise words jimmy_009 by council estate scumbag	Mar 20th, 2007 12:06:33 PM
at the moment Copolla is walking in his daughter's footsteps. thats aint a good fing, guvna. she's mediocre at best. lost in twatslation was so overhyped its like the media saying how fine judi dench's breasts are. regarding beastman....whateveer your fucking name is, wise words again geez. Miike is indeed a wak job. i saw this wierd film he did about a fucking family who run a wierd hotel. katakuraz i think it was. had stop motion in it. it was off the wall. like some peckham crackhead or a bermondsey janitor. audition was just fucked up. itchi the killer was just wrong. but miike remains intiguing still, like some wacked out bakshi on speed.

Can't believe it. by Lost Prophet	Mar 20th, 2007 12:26:56 PM
Twice in one day I agree with chavboy. I think he is much smarter than he makes on, the little scumbags near me would assume you are using some sort of new slang if you asked them what they thought of miike- and then slap you as they would assume you are insulting them Sofia is pig ugly, and makes utter crap chick oriented films. If you think Audition was fucked up try Visitor Q. He is one sick sick man. Can I borrow a cigarette? If not, then can I borrow 20p for a cup of tea?
No need to be bitchy, council. by MC Vamp	Mar 20th, 2007 12:45:25 PM
The entire movie was altered on the fly when Duvall told Coppola he wanted Pacino money. So the focus of the movie changed from the very promising premise of Tom Hagen and Michael Corleone becoming enemies to the side plot of Michael's grooming of Vincent, Altobello, and the whole Vatican bank thing, Those last two elements were supposed to be framing devices, not the center of the picture. This is the equivalent of not having Fredo in Godfather 2--it would have been as big a train wreck as G3. So the film lacked a strong core. Once Duvall dropped out, the movie shouldn't have been made but the production was too many millions deep to call off. So Coppola gambled on the fly and lost. No biggy, happens to me in Vegas all the time.
ok peoples by council estate scumbag	Mar 20th, 2007 01:07:46 PM
Lost Prophet, i'll assume you're refering to me, son. i take dat as a compliment. yeah, peeps on my estate dont know who miike is either, but dat don't make them dumb cunts. just that thay know different shit to me. none of em would dare raise even a fingernail to me tho. they'd be dead in 2 seconds flat and they fuckin know it. we all know and respect each other on my estate. MC vamp. like i said earlier, dats the way we talk on my estate. aint no harm intended. toughen up, fella. u made good points in ya last post after lost prophet geeza. i didnt know some ov dat shit. puts a different spin on it. that fucking Cop-ol-out cunt should've pulled the whole thing altogether. godfather3 tainted da whole franchise. fuck Duvall. he's a piece of shit.

Groooooan. by The Central Scrutinizer	Mar 20th, 2007 02:35:33 PM
A new Francis Coppola film is never good news. What was his last GOOD film? "Apocalypse Now"? "The Outsiders"? If any of you say "Bram Stokers Dracula" I'll find you and hurt you!!!

Since when did Coppola by skimn	Mar 20th, 2007 03:08:28 PM
produce any of Polanski's movies???Oh no, not that can of worms again...Is that Victor Salva you're referring to? The Jeepers Creepers guy..?I don't think he directed Powder, did he? And folks, give Coppola some slack, any director would give their left nut to have a Godfather or Godfather 2 on their resume, let alone Apocalypse, which like one of Francis' wines seems to get better with age....
Yeah, Victor Salva. But hey, by feckdrinkarse	Mar 20th, 2007 03:21:41 PM
Yeah, Victor Salva. But hey, it's not like that matters in Hollywood, is it ?

Who cares what Tom Cruise does by pjdon	Mar 20th, 2007 06:59:18 PM
in his private life. He never makes film about his beliefs (unlike John Travolta who no-one seems to slag) and the only people who ever bitch about him are the press and people like you who have never met him. He has worked with Spielberg, Coppola, Kubrick, Stone, De Palma, Scorsesse, P T Anderson, Cameron Crowe, Tony Scott, Micheal Mann, Rob Riner, Barry Levinson, John Woo... and thats just the directors, not to mention all the actors. Never have I heard any of these great people complain about him, all I hear is how commited he is. I don't care what he does at home, he's an actor, i care about what he does on screen.
Godfather 3, etc. by jjgittes	Mar 20th, 2007 08:16:33 PM
GF III is a good, flawed film. Parts of it are brilliant (the opera sequence in particular). Regardless, if the thought of Coppola's first film in 10 years doesn't get you excited, you probably really don't like movies anyway, so whatever.

Anyone know?
interesting... by Octaveaeon	Mar 20th, 2007 09:14:58 PM
apparently this movie is based on a book by Mircea Eliade...who knew Joseph Campbell, amongst others, through the Eranos group. Campbell, as is known, influenced Lucas's Star Wars mythology. In Eranos you also had Jung, Scholem, Corbin, Quispel etc... (studies on mythology, kabbalah, sufism, gnosticism, etc.) If the movie is about the origins of language and consciousness, it will probably go into shamanic rituals, the 'secret language' of the underworld that they have access to, the axis mundi... Interesting stuff. You can go many places in a story with these themes... from Africa to Greece, South America.. yeah, I can see an Indiana Jones type story. Bring in Rosslyn Chapel and you have a link via Isaak von Sinclair to Holderlin, Schelling, and Hegel. Make a story about the transmission of ancient knowledge about the divine origins of man (Adam Kadmon) from Atlantis to Hiram Abiff (mythical figure in Masonic circles and Rosicrucians around the time of the counter-Enlightenment) to Solomon, then through the Eleusyinian mysteries and other mystery religions to Plato, up to the above mentioned secret societies and speculative philosophy. From there to the 'new world'... Since the ark of the covenant has been done, how about the temple of Solomon itself? Has that been done already? The beginning of consciousness is the renewal of the covenant. The Logos (Law) incarnate. The new messiah, end of times kind of stuff, but withouth the apocalyptic effects. Probably a higher type of consciousness theme, neo andros, although i hope not. A new flood, coinciding with global warming... all would be too simplistic. Then again, I prefer philosophy to mysticism. Oh fuckit. I might as well just read the damn book...
I Smell Vanilla... by TheGhostWhoLurks	Mar 20th, 2007 11:38:01 PM
Vanilla Sky Part Deux. "He begins a quest to understand the origin of language and the secrets of consciousness???" Say WHAT? Remember the good ol' days when someone'd get struck by lightning and either (A) get flash-fried or (B) turn into a 6'3" doofus wearing red longjohns? The fountain-of-youth stuff is fine, but once the plot headed down the path of discovering the secrets of the universe, a $10, 2-hour Scientology commercial began flashing right before my eyes. No thanks... think I'll pass. :P

The last GREAT Coppola movie by Beastmanseventy	Mar 21st, 2007 02:45:21 AM
The last GREAT Coppola movie was Rumble Fish as far as I can remember. Working with a smaller budget means a smaller, more intimate cast and crew, and no studio looking over his shoulder. Artistic freedom for the director of some of the greatest movies ever, and people can't seem to get excited about that just because Tom Cruise is gonna distribute? Jesus fucking christ.
coplla should co-direct with his very ugly daughter by council estate scumbag	Mar 21st, 2007 09:09:57 AM

Coppola Bashing by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Mar 21st, 2007 10:05:16 AM
Regardless of you thoughts on his movies, let me ask all you geniuses out there one question. What would have happened to Lucas if not for Coppola. We indirectly owe him for Star Wars. Bottom line is STFU.
Your Mom Is Ugly by jjgittes	Mar 21st, 2007 10:12:12 AM
Sofia's not ugly at all. She actually sweet looking in a sort of broken, offbeat way. Ah, but I guess offbeat isn't your cup of tea....only obvious bellowing about beauty and Art, you Philistine. Do you even like girls? "AN" is his last masterpiece, but yeah "Rumble Fish" is pretty great in its own way.
Oh and Another thing ...... by jjgittes	Mar 21st, 2007 10:14:15 AM
He's made 4 masterpieces. FOUR. That 70s streak is arguably the greatest run ever for an American director. Scorsese's top 4 match Coppola's? Nope.
Tom Cruise and United Artists... by Donald McKinney	Mar 21st, 2007 10:27:59 AM
I'm pleased that Cruise and co. is now controling United Artists, it could redeem him, but it does seem like a two-fingered salute to Paramount for dumping him. With him picking up Coppola's Youth Without Youth, Cruise should get other great directors to do a film or two for United Artists, like Terry Gilliam, David Cronenberg and/or the Coen Brothers. Their films always attract attention. P.S. Coppola produced films for United Artists before Cruise took over, like Jeepers Creepers and Assassination Tango.
Coppola should go away! by The Central Scrutinizer	Mar 21st, 2007 12:09:15 PM
Francis Coppola should go back to making wine and eating himself to death. He won't have any late career resurgence. He will just humiliate himself again ala "The Godfather part III", "Jack" and "Bram Stoker's Dracula".
jjgittes. u talking to me, son? by council estate scumbag	Mar 21st, 2007 12:52:46 PM
i pray for your rat infested soul your post werent talking to me, pal. you saying sofia copola's beautiful? are you fucking crazy? broken, offbeat? u sure u aint gay or nuffin? you fuckin ass raping donkey fucking muppet reject! look at the bitch properly- as in open your fucking glaucoma eyes and face the fucking telly, not your mamma in the shower, you fucking pervert. are they open? note how she looks like a fucking horse. dat aint no offbeat beauty, fella. dats just fucked up. i dont hate the bitch for it, but i aint gonna lie to your pock ridden acne filled face and say "hey man, sofia copolla's really pretty and beatiful, man". you fucking nonce. hey, unless you're into dat kind ov shit, u know fucking horses and shit, dats your bag man- go with it. me, personally, i prefer my birds to look like fucking human beings. you know, with skin, not fur. hands and not hoofs. how the fuck did she direct lost in shitslation with hoofs anyway? bottom line. fuck off to your local farm and fuck a horse or whatever you do on a saturday night, but dont preach to me cos i dont find horses sexy.

WTF), and why you do the things you do (fuck horses). now leave, you nonce. peace out. dont hurt dem animals y'all hear?
i aint hating on Coppolla proper by council estate scumbag	Mar 21st, 2007 01:54:42 PM

Um...... by jjgittes	Mar 21st, 2007 02:44:19 PM
Ok, you're thanking Coppola for giving the world George Lucas...and you MEAN it. Thanks for proving my point. I can't say anything about Sofia's looks I guess because she can't compare with your blow-up doll, so whatever. As for the genius who thinks "Godfather Part II" and "Dracula" are embarrassments -...."Godfather Part 3" got nominated for 7 Oscars including Best Director and Best Picture and turned a nice profit. "Dracula" is a very good film, made alot of cash and in its pre-credit sequence ALONE has more genius in it than most hacks working achieve in a career. He's gonna have an artistic comeback - if you don't think so, you know even less than I think you do, which is really saying something.

but appearances can be decieving, son. wise words on godfather 3- dats something else i didnt know about. how many oscars it was nominated for. but dat dont mean shit, fella. u tellin me dat every film dat gets nominated for an oscar is always worthy? wake up, pal. u seem to have a brain. use it when you respond to me.....oh yeah, blow up doll? no, just a normal sweet human girl on the estates. sofia IS NOT pretty mate. seriously. check yourself on dat. the horse thing she has going on verifies that shit. if i saw her in real life i wouldnt know whether to ask for her autograph, feed her some sugar, put horse shoes on her feet or ride her at the 3 o clock at cheltenham. i know you'd do the latter but not in the way i mean. seriously man. check dat bestiality shit. it might be legal and cool in the states but if you ever came to england and did that you'd be arrested. it was made illegal in the 1970s. good debate tho. i'm outa here to do some theifing. check yall tomorrow, cunts!
Ah, England by jjgittes	Mar 21st, 2007 03:56:15 PM
Oops sorry, I didn't realize you were from England, where the knowledge of cinema is exceeded only by the quality of the dental care. Look, I didn't say that the Oscars were "proof" of quality, but "GF 3" got mostly good reviews, got representation in the year end awards AND made money. So, if some joker posts that it was an "embarrassment" I have to set the record straight don't I? See, I may think "A Beautiful Mind" sucked but I can't pretend that my personal opinion matches what the response was to the film in the general sense. Got it? Also, I am not your "mate". Save that talk for your boyfriend, who I can only imagine is named Ian or Colin and who judging by your continuous and frankly disturbing references to horses must be a jockey or stable boy.
APOCALYPSE NOW, THE CONVERSATION, and GODFATHER 1&2 by Orbots Commander	Mar 21st, 2007 08:28:48 PM
were great filmS by Coppola but, wow, they were made nearly thirty years ago. I was just starting grade school when THE OUTSIDERS was released, and that was Francis' last decent movie. A whole generation of young adults probably just know him today as Sofia Coppola's dad. I'm all for a late career resurgence, but really, what are the chances of that happening post-JACK?
odds are actually good by jjgittes	Mar 21st, 2007 09:02:53 PM
Ok, first of all The Outsiders was in no way his last 'decent" mobie. Wtf people. "Tucker", "Gf 3", "Dracula" and "The Rainmaker" are all GOOD or even better than good films. Just because they ain't masterpieces doesn't mean that they blow - people are way over the top in assessing Coppola's work.......The likelihood of the comeback i think is high for 2 reasons, the mindset of the director (Google some interviews and you'll see what I mean), and the personal/artistic nature of the project. He put up his own money for Godsakes - the entire point of the film, is to preserve his legacy. It's not like he's directing "Wild Hogs 2" here.
Dental Care jjgittes by council estate scumbag	Mar 22nd, 2007 04:24:47 AM

According to this article that came out today... http://www.reuters.com/article /entertainmentNews/idUSN233413 7120070323?feedType=RSS Sony Pictures Classics just snagged the rights to Coppola's movie, which doesn't have ANYTHING to do with United Artists.. Did you think maybe, just maybe, that you were talking out yer ass and that you should: a) shut your yapper b) go back to jerkin' off to your poster of the silver surfer in your parents basement, or c) go to the Lost talkback.

There's been another report that it's actually Sony Pictures Classics that's picked up the rights to Youth Without Youth, not United Artists. But, seeing as SPC has distributed some of UA's more recent films, maybe they're both doing it.
