Was watching this with my wife and I said "they better be paying Francis Ford Coppola royalties"

Great episode though.

Is that Father Guido Sarducci (Don Novello) at the end?


Playing Edgar Allan Poe, no less!

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Don't forget his Ron Jeremy phase in the mid-90s. I love this so much! *promote

He goes from looking like Francis Ford Coppola to Peter Jackson to Allen Ginsberg to a fat Kevin Dillon to a Star Wars era George Lucas

If Spock spends the movie 'exploring his emotions', I'm gonna crap a brick. But I just BET Abrams can't help himself.
Yeah yeah sure, I know about pon'farr... this should not be used as a defining characteristic of Spock's character in a film. It is a mere facet of his being and I hope J.J has more talent than to cling to this for dramatic effect.


Has anyone else noticed that we seem to be in the thrall of fanboy directors these days? I can think of JJ Abrams and Zack Synder for a start and I bet there are more coming. Guys who are obsessive about the detail of making a film and the script but can't actually make anything with emotional depth or substance? They're going to make Tarantino (their lord and master) look like Francis Ford Coppola.

Is it me or is the audio very low?


definitely need headphones for this. (which brings up a good point -- when i'm surfing youtube videos or video sift videos, there's never a good balance of the audio. So, you could be watching one video with low volume, where you need to put the volume all the way up, and then watch another video with good volume, but blow out your speakers -- and ears -- because you had it turned up from the previous video. This is a problem that needs fixing, and it's not just teaching people how to balance the audio of the videos they're posting.)

Akira Kurosawa

Alfred Hitchcock

Steven Spielberg

Sergio Leone

Francis Ford Coppola

Orson Welles.

Clint Eastwood is a fantastic Director and while he made the greatest western of all time he does not have a prolific number of hits.

1. Kurosawa
2. Scorsese
3. Alexander Payne
4. Welles
5. Coen Brothers

Honorable Mention:

6. Francis Ford Coppola - Sure, his later work sucked, but anyone who made The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, AND Apocalypse Now deserves at least some sort of recognition, for crying out loud.

7. Sergio Leone - How could no one mention him? He did The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, Once Upon a Time in The West, and Once Upon a Time in America. Show a little respect, capisce?

8. Steven Spielberg - Some people hate him, but he's given us a lot of good films.

9. John Waters - Hello? Why am I the only one to mention this genius?

10. Hitchcock - No explanation necessary.

1 - David Lynch
2 - Stanley Kubrick
3 - Alfred Hitchcck
4 - Francis Ford Coppola
5 - Wes Anderson

Wow, I like really boring stuff and am a dork.

Steven Spielberg
Brad Bird
Quintin Tarentino
Robert Rodriguez.


Some might say Francis Ford Coppola.
I would argue that George Lucas is not a bad director, but not top 5.
..Michael Bay..?

not much of a prediction. This was obviously going to happen once VHS came to town (all but the fat girl reference, that is, which I think was a projection anyway).

Yes, camcorders have been accessible for a long time. I'd say that it wasn't at all obvious what the distribution model would be. Coppola's prediction has more to do with what content would become popular, and on that point I think we can agree that he ate his words.

Quite the opposite Qruel... nick cage is a HUGE comic book fan, he actually has a Ghost Rider tattoo they had to cover up for the film.

Even his name is from comics... he was born Nicholas Kim Coppola.... nephew to Francis Ford Coppola. He changes his name early in his career. The assumed surname is inspired by Marvel Comics character Luke Cage, a streetwise superhero.
