Well shit. I'm glad this thread exists solely for this bit of business. Thanks man.
This isn't news. Coppola and Lucas are (were?) close friends, no? Initially they were closer than Lucas and Spielberg, I think.
Coppola could make a hundred shitty movies and still be an all time great for his work in the 70s.
Why is Coppola vs Lucas a thing in this thread? I'm baffled.
You guys shit-takin Coppola like ya'll EVER did anything of any value. Please...
Y'all forget Rumble Fish, an unsung masterpiece!
And he's right, after Jedi he should of gone on to these esoteric films instead wasting his time with Willow, Howard The Duck and the prequels.
Eat it. Coppola earned the right to produce nothing but shit after draining all his mental juices on the masterpiece that is Apocalypse Now.
He's a hundred times the filmmaker Lucas ever was.
And American Graffiti is overrated as all fuck. Lucas made one great film not called Star Wars in THX.
One From the Heart is a giant misfire that's still better than everything Lucas has put out otherwise.

Will we ever see them thoI really hope they weren't fucking around because that shit sounds interesting.
The director of Godfather III can shut the fuck up.
I liked Willow...... plus Rob Howard.

this thread is insane
So dumb.

Coppola is a hack
FilmGAF was a mistake.At least he still had a career, Coppola.
Godfather III was at least a film that had a couple of redeeming qualities mixed in with the garbage, unlike a certain prequel trilogy.

What does Coppola's filmography have to do with his point? Did Coppola spend 30 years making nothing but progressively worse Godfather movies? He and Lucas are friends I think he probably has a little more of an insight to this than most people.
I'm losing my mind. Somehow I got mixed up and thought Kubrick directed Apocalypse Now. I've even seen all of the special features for Apocalypse Now and I thought that was Kubrick the whole time. Holy shit.
Coppola fell off before Lucas so Lucas wins.
First off, Ron howard and Willow is a great movie.
The director of Godfather III can shut the fuck up.
Francis Ford Coppola the guy who made 3 movies and nothing else
Why did you reply to the guy who said without Star Wars Coppola would have never done his magnum opus?Eat it. Coppola earned the right to produce nothing but shit after draining all his mental juices on the masterpiece that is Apocalypse Now.

What he said was 100% true. Apocalypse Now was initially developed as film to be directed by George Lucas and he intended to follow up Star Wars with it till Star Wars took over his life after the first film blew up.
I don't think anyone would argue that. Lucas intended to shoot it in California even.And without the film-making genius and insanity of that era of Coppola, it wouldn't have been anywhere near as incredible as it is(non-redux).
You must not like Lucas then if what Coppola said makes you salty.Whatever dude. Enjoy your shitty wine.
you're crazy.
people sure love to think Directors are some kind of vision man that only looks at dailies or something
dude made that film happen and it's very clear by how documented it is that it was a monumental effort both physically and mentally for everyone involved
but lol Jack am I rite. what's The Godfather 1 and 2
between this, Ridley Scott, and Cameron comments GAF sure likes to be edgy at these "hacks"
"oh shit they're not perfect! let's instantly forget about the best films ever fucking made, then"
