Francis Ford Coppola mocks Godfather stars

I've mentioned before I love movies, but am not big on celebrities.

This story may be picked up and exploited, but Coppola is right. These people are so far from the top of their games they rank as extras.

Jesus H Christ with sand in his shorts, but that was a horrid mixed metaphor.
Coppola, who now co-owns a vineyard, accused his two former colleagues of "living off the fat of the land" and losing their professional drive.

He also turned his fire on Jack Nicholson, star of The Shining, who he claimed now spent his time hanging out with Hollywood's "big guys and the big bosses".

Both Pacino and De Niro have shown themselves willing to take the blockbuster dollar in recent years, a fact appears to have riled Coppola, 58, who prides himself on his independent leanings.

And what the fuck is that "who now co-owns a vineyard" shit? What does that have anything to do with the story?

Movies aren't real


I'm all over the place right now so please bear with me.

Actually that looks fucking real to me despite all the people watching, filming and such, but that isn't the point of this post.

Why don't directors insist on reality? I watched a movie last night, can't remember the title, but a couple were in bed. He's all hot and bothered and she declined his advances. Happens all the time. No biggie.

Then, in boxer shorts, which kind of puts a crimp in the thing; I mean naked makes much more sense, he gets out of bed. And guess what?

NO ERECTION!

Yeah, right.

Please note: In spite of my majoring in English, I can't punctuate worth a damn. Please be kind. I'm trying my best.

Via Jonco.

Is this even possible?


I just watched a movie that didn't include Christopher Walken.

Perhaps I'm losing my mind.

Worst movie casting




Now I love Jared Leto's work. He's a fine actor and always delivers. But in the movie Lord of War, there is no way to accept him as Nicholas Cage's brother. They look familial as do a cow and a goose.

Feel free to add your examples of poor casting in the comments.

How in hell did I veer off on this tangent? Welcome to my strange world.
