Coppola is best friends with your idol, George Lucas. So go.

George Lucas isnt my idol. He isnt even in my top 3 favorite directors. I just really really like Star Wars.

virgin suicides was meh, but she earned my love for lost in translation. One of my top 10 films of all time. She is my favorite modern director behind Chris Nolan.

Maria Antoinette was the biggest piece of shit i ever wasted time on. Lost in Translation was grossly over rated.

They are all in a club of directors in my mind. Wes Anderson as well should be put in that modern director group. But i liked the virgin suicides damnit. Its one of my unhealthy obsessions on film.

Marie Antoinette was great in the Barry Lyndon style. Both are slow paced, scenery heavy dialouge free history escapism.

FoC, you really should check out the Godfather some time.  It's leisurely paced, but overall incredibly worthwhile.  Even if you don't like mafia movies and TV shows (all of which are pretty much rips of The Godfather), watching the first movie is like taking a mini-course on the entire genre in the space of a few hours.

How do you not see The Godfather?  Also you should definitely go as Coppola has got to have some good stories to tell even if it doesn't go beyond that.

I didn't see it until like last year.  I didn't consider myself a very big fan of mob movies, so I figured I wasn't missing much.  I liked Goodfellas, but that was about it.  Then I watched season 1 of the Sopranos, loved it, and mentioned to one of my friends that I had never seen the Godfather.  He told me I was missing out on a bunch of references, so I went and watched it.  I do not regret it.

The Godfather 2 is also great, but I don't think it is quite as good as the first, and it's a pain to watch in one sitting.

When the fuck is Youth Without Youth coming out? I've been hearing him talk about it for a long ass time now, with nothing to show for his efforts. I hope he doesn't take the Lucas route. :'(

its finished and out this fall. He took forever to start filming it, yeah.

You mean about Lucas rambling about his WWII drama about african americans and racism he has blabbed about doing for 5 years now? He said he is filming it once Indy IV is finished.

Go fucking see Coppola speak. You are a fucking film student, and he's made movies. In fact, he made the Godfather, which is THE mob film. He won Best Director at the Academy Awards. Even if you haven't seen the Godfather, you will learn something most likely.

And go see the Godfather (I and II). Please, for the love of christ.

master shake smb (08:37:18 pm): rots was the closest to the OT lucas has made since esrb lolz
master shake smb (08:37:53 pm): rotj devolves into crap after the first act and has a completely "bleh" ending (though vader turning on palpy is still legitimately awesome)

I'd say they're about equal, but ROTS has higher highs and lower lows while RotJ really has like ten/fifteen minutes' worth of highs and that's about it.
