Um... by SaluteYourShorts	Mar 8th, 2008 09:22:19 AM
Care?
Boring. by SaluteYourShorts	Mar 8th, 2008 09:23:08 AM
I'd rather play Tetris.
Welcome back, Mr. Coppola by Chishu_Ryu	Mar 8th, 2008 09:24:24 AM
I thoroughly enjoyed "Youth Without Youth"

Mind your elders, child..
Really, after 'Youth without Youth' who gives a shit? by irc-Hollywood	Mar 8th, 2008 09:35:16 AM
about Coppola anymore, all that Apocalypse Now and Godfather goodwill is over.
I like this Vincent Gallo by Franklin T Marmoset	Mar 8th, 2008 09:40:34 AM
Sure, he's a proper nutbag, but that at least makes him more interesting than your average Hollywood actor. I could do without the racism (did anyone read about him selling his sperm as long as no one with dark skin tries to buy it?), but otherwise I think he's a pretty funny guy. Also, I liked his film Buffalo 66, which could just have well been called The Adventures Of An Asshole, very much.
Christ, that second paragraph is a stinker by Franklin T Marmoset	Mar 8th, 2008 09:43:10 AM
Sorry about that. I'll try again: Also, I very much enjoyed his film Buffalo 66, which could just as well have been called The Adventures Of An Asshole. There, that's better.
Love Gallo by EvilGeek1	Mar 8th, 2008 09:51:53 AM
Good to see him back on the scene. Buffalo '66 has always had a place in my top ten, because it's lined with golden nuggets of comedy and drama. Case in point, the Scott Woods scene in the nightclub. near the end. Still don't know how he did the still shots.
Francis Ford Coppola is the new George Lucas by GodMars	Mar 8th, 2008 10:04:32 AM
Or was he the original? What was the last film he made that was actually worth watching? You wonder what he and Lucas have been sitting around smoking all of these years.
Does this mean he recovered his laptop? by Bobo_Vision	Mar 8th, 2008 10:04:58 AM
The people who stole it should reenact the script using video cameras, and post it on YouTube. Oh, and, Merrick wrote "NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN's Javier Bardem (he just won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for that film). " Thanks for clearing that up Merrick, otherwise I'm sure we'd have no idea who that was.
If you are bored... by Franklin T Marmoset	Mar 8th, 2008 10:09:55 AM
Check out this link to Vincent Gallo's 'merchandising' site: http://tinyurl.com/2yj kko I don't know if he's joking or serious, and I'm not sure which of the two options is funnier. Get your purses out, ladies...
Vincent Gallo by Turd Furgeson	Mar 8th, 2008 10:18:00 AM
isn't he that dude from "The Brown Bunny?"
Why FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA's time is over... by SaluteYourShorts	Mar 8th, 2008 10:18:15 AM
He directed JACK.
It's sad by welsh12uk	Mar 8th, 2008 10:29:51 AM
when you are known for making a good merlot versus making a good movie. We can hope Coppola has one more good movie fermenting in him
Who is this Javier Bardem you speak of? by waggy	Mar 8th, 2008 10:30:55 AM
I really doubt there's anyone reading this story who doesn't know he won an oscar for No Country.
vincent gallo is a hack by Mr.Slade	Mar 8th, 2008 10:49:07 AM
evrything he does is crap and he hides it well by claiming that he has artistic expression, you suck gallo and so will this movie
Good luck taming Gallo by wilsonfisk89	Mar 8th, 2008 10:49:35 AM
Headline five days into shooting, "Gallo Leaves Tetris due to creative differences." He is a crazed near-genius asshole with a track record of ridiculous on set drama. But if it works out, should be pretty sweet. How bout his Belevedere commercial, pretty hip huh?
Bardem is gonna fade into obscurity, by worldofwarcraft	Mar 8th, 2008 11:51:44 AM
once people realize he's a neckbone. Just like Tobey McGuire.
Bardem and McGuire? by Shozo	Mar 8th, 2008 12:05:35 PM
Nothing alike. What's a neckbone? Fried neckbones? I have a feeling Coppola will have to make about 10 more of these little DV-sized movies before he gets his groove back and does something interesting. He's out of shape. You can't just jump back in the race.
YWY was insane and made no sense but beautiful by reflecto	Mar 8th, 2008 12:07:20 PM
And I will still see anything Coppola makes.
this will be in B&W by hauptman	Mar 8th, 2008 12:23:32 PM
so said the man behind the film.
Gallo=Fruity Nut Bar by Broseph	Mar 8th, 2008 12:48:19 PM
The dude is seriously a whack job
Youth Without Youth Sucked by pomophobe	Mar 8th, 2008 12:50:01 PM
This might just suck as well.
What was the end result of Coppola's computers being stolen? by Kirbymanly	Mar 8th, 2008 12:50:03 PM
I thought all of his original versions of this script were swiped from his house. Did he get them back?
Ha, Vincent Gallo? by DeadPanWalking	Mar 8th, 2008 02:02:09 PM
That's wild. I can't imagine why Coppola would cast the worlds biggest jackass. Maybe he likes a challenge?
Seriously by Broseph	Mar 8th, 2008 03:48:19 PM
gallo's not a great artist.i saw buffalo 66 what a piece of shit.he seems like he goes out of his way to be obscure and unique an artsy
reflecto: on Youth Without Youth by Multiplex	Mar 8th, 2008 03:53:39 PM
my thoughts exactly.
I FUCKING HATE VINCENT GALLO!!! Why Francis??? by Proman1984	Mar 8th, 2008 03:57:44 PM
And I was looking forward to this one.
Francis ford coppala's TETRIS by ironic_name	Mar 8th, 2008 04:28:31 PM
morgan freeman as the T shape.
Yeah... by Tourist	Mar 8th, 2008 04:40:05 PM
Awesome that he has Gallo for the lead. Love Gallo. Too bad its for Francis Ford Coppolas new movie. This dude is loooooong washed up. Even his small, artistic, personal movies are fucking junk.
This movie by welsh12uk	Mar 8th, 2008 05:33:11 PM
will suck. That is all.
I'd rather see Vincent Gallo play "Tetris"! by MrMysteryGuest	Mar 8th, 2008 06:18:39 PM

Give me off-peak Coppola by kwisatzhaderach	Mar 8th, 2008 06:24:08 PM
over most of today's 'directors' any day.
Glad You're Back Making Films by Larry of Arabia	Mar 8th, 2008 08:43:58 PM
After the horrible time he had with Godfather III you could tell his heart wasn't in it. Sure, Rainmaker was a fine enough film but his heart wasn't in it. I think he's found his love again. Sure Youth Without Youth was a mess, but it was an outrageously ambitious mess. I'll take an ambitious mess by someone capable of a masterpiece above something by, oh say David Ellis or Andy Tennant. (both of who make fine films but, you know, might not reach the heights of The Godfather.)
now watch him sweep the Oscars... by cifra	Mar 9th, 2008 06:39:27 AM
No, seriously. Oscar loves comebacks. Gallo can be either great or awful but he's loved by the indies. Verdú is due for an Oscar nom or win (Y tu mamá también and Pan's Labyrinth were hits and she was the best in them) and Bardem is an acting God. It's a matter of time till Coppola gets the right project again. This project looks interesting, and sure that in Hollywood there is enough people eager to vindicate him...
Personally, I think it's awesome Francis is making films again.. by Librerarian	Mar 9th, 2008 11:12:14 AM
...and if they're weird, wacky, crazy, whatever, I don't care. Even if they all suck, I don't really care. I just like that he's out there trying again, and that he's willing to take risks.
Interesting point, leobloom. by Garbage	Mar 9th, 2008 01:46:47 PM
It's kind of like sitting in a bar and noticing Brigitte Bardot giving you come-hither looks. Bardot's in her seventies now (I think), and looks like . . . well, let's just say that years of smoking and UV rays have taken their toll. But she was incredibly hot as a younger woman. If I pick her up, can I brag to everyone about how I picked up Brigitte Bardot? Or should I shut up? As for Bardem, he's a terrific actor, but also seems like a pretty down-to-earth guy. It's weird how some great actors (like De Niro etc.) come across as odd and/or cold in interviews, whereas others (like Bardem, Day-Lewis, Streep, etc.) seem like regular guys.
Brown Bunny anyone? by wowsah156	Mar 9th, 2008 01:56:38 PM
Anyone who has seen Brown bunny will know that Gallo is just a chancer who seems to have made a careeer out of interia. I cant see Gallo coping with mainstream movie work and having to be an underling for Coppolla. Hes probably only doing it to get near Francis's older daughter Sofia.Will wager $50 that Gallo will nail Sofia before the end of this year.....
