“In this wreck of a world today, where ART is given scores as if it were professional wrestling…
I chose to NOT follow the gutless rules laid down by an industry so terrified of risk that despite the enormous pool of young talent at its disposal, may not create pictures that will be relevant and alive 50 years from now”
– Five-time Oscar winner Francis Ford Coppola on being named Worst Director for his passion project ‘Megalopolis’ at the Razzie Awards. She’s not wrong!
He lost my respect when I found out he helped convicted pedo director Victor Salva get his career back on track knowing he molested a 12yo boy. Gross!
The older people get the more out of touch they become.
Being “in touch” or “out of touch” are NOT the same as being someone with wisdom, taste, a vision, experience, or something to say of substance…
There’s a difference in just following the fads or the money, and art.
Sorry you don’t realize the distinction.
He is absolutely not wrong. He’s also accepting the Razzie Award. Legend.
