This was my favorite Coppola quote from the press conference:
“There’s so many people when they die, they say, I wish I had done this, I wish I done that. When I die, I’m going to say, I got to do this….
”…I got to see my daughter win an Oscar, and I got to make wine and I got to make all the movies I wanted to make. And I’m going to be so busy thinking about what I got to do that when I die I won’t notice it.”
More Megalopolis, Coppola on Pop Culture Confidential soon
History made! Barbie is the first solo-directed, live-action film by a woman to hit 1 billion $ at the box office. Greta Gerwig opens the door for a new generation of women to step into this space. It's now the Camerons, the Spielbergs, AND the Gerwigs.
It's about f%&cking time!
New epi is here! From ‘The Shape of Water’, actor Doug Jones! A great talk abt his 20 year collaboration w/ G Del Toro, how monsters saved their lives, playing the romantic lead, acting in prosthetics and,of course,that Shape of Water dildo 😅. Don’t miss!

s3 has lifted: my 2 cents, FUCK YES! It’s war! Every scene intense, knives are out, comedy is dark, drama is bold & brutal. Acting master class & the writing AGAIN the best TV has to offer. Shakespeare would have been a proud papa!
Director Maggie Gyllenhaal’s adaptation of Elena Ferrante’s ‘The Lost Daughter’ (with Olivia Colman, Dakota Johnson) was one of my most powerful film experiences of 2021. It’s on US Netflix now, coming to theatres and other netflix territories soon. See it. See it
Today I have accomplished nothing but I did just watch Paul McCartney casually tinkering at a piano & seemingly out of nowhere come up with ‘The long and winding road’ while others are chitchatting around him, reading the paper. incredible. film is amazing.
