Sofia Coppola
Some new film by Francis Ford Coppola
</embed>

Yall have probably heard of independent film director Sofia Coppola, who directed some of the best indie films of all time including Lost in Translation and the Virgin Suicides. What you don't know is that she has a father who is attempting to break into the movie industry. His name is Francis Ford Coppola. In his debut film Tetro, he casts authentic indie actor Vincent Gallo to play some bro who is just chillin out and being authentic. I think that the film is in black and white to try to win an Oscar, which is a tactic used by Stephan Spielbergher in the hit film Schindler's List of Bros Who Just Wanted to Live a Chill Life.

Not sure how films work since I am not a film student, but I think that this film uses old French techniques that were used to make things seem very authentic. Not sure what they are called.

does n e1 else think that Vinny Gallo is 'a genius'? Wonder what male I'd cast if I had to make a movie starring an authentic bro? Tom Hanks? Bob Downey Jr? Zach Braff? Mickey Rourke? Bruce Willis? Adrien Brody? John Heder? Mikey Cera?

Seems like he has an authentic jaw line.

Well yall... I hope that Francis Ford can live up to the high standards of his daughter Sofia. I am afraid that this is just another case of a parent riding his child's coat tails to fame, much like Lindsay Lohan's parents.


I condemn all parents who are trying to exploit the success and talents of their children. All I want is for every child to be given a fair shot at a normal life. This is a post about parenting

The Most Bloggable Death of 2k8


This is a post about Heath being 'gone.'
This is a post about Heath being 'in a better place.'

I remember when 2008 started. We were looking for a new actor who would 'be really awesome when he was young' but then make movies like 'Meet the Fockers' when he got older. Kinda wish James Dean was still around so that he could be in sillie comedies about Bucket Lists/dealing with getting older in a whimsically meaningful way.

Heath died. He's gone. We'll never know if he is still alive. We'll never know if his death was just a mrktng gmmck. We'll never know 'what coulda been.'

Still can't believe Mary Kate/Ashley Olsen are __% responsible for Heath's death.

Conspiracy of 2k8
Did Michelle Tanner 'end' HeathBro [via peer pressure]?

Can't believe Michelle Williams (aka ex-Mrs. Heath Ledger) started to date Spike Jonez.

Can't believe Spike Jonez ever divorced Sofia Coppola. Wish they stayed together making Lost in Translation progressive guerilla videos starring Kirsten Dunst (Being John Broavich).

Remember Green Aggs and Ham?

Does n e 1 know if an 'alt celebrity couple' will emerge in 2k9?
Read a rumor on a message board that the Death Cabs were getting married. Can some1 verify that? I don't trust blogs as gossip news sources.
Also read on a blog that the Bloc Parties/TVoTR/VampWeeks/FleetFoxes are getting married.

Just gonna miss him. Might not mention him in 2k9 just to 'move on' and maybe latch on to a new celeb death as a meme-gimmick that represents 'missing some1' who allegedly meant a lot 2 society bc of his portrayal of a character + real life meme-ability.

I avoided listening to the new M83 until yesterday.


I think I had avoided listening to the new M83 songs/album because 1) I didn't really understand the album art aesthetic, and it kind of creeped me out and 2) when other people write about the SHOEGAZE genre, it always comes across pretty ghey.

I was really into "Teen Angst" and "Run Into Flowers" back in the day, so maybe I was just afraid of being let down... :-(

But yeah, these new songs are pretty ridiculous. I'm sure Sofia Coppola is rolling around in her grave right now, wishing she could use these songs in a movie trailer, or meaningful ending sequence. I'm surprised there aren't more shoegaze bands these days, instead of so many bedroom producers trying to bang out standard electro hits.

The music video for "Graveyard Girl" really makes me want to go back to the 90s, and get an alternative girl pregnant. It seems like we all could have been a lot more authentic if we were alternative back then.

Lead singer of Phoenix (Thomas Mars) finally getting married 2 indie director Sofia Coppola


Thom Mars is the lead singer of Phoenix. Sofia Coppola directed a bunch of indie movies that were 'respected' but now as we look back, they were sorta entry-level and gimmicky. Anyways, I think this couple already has a kid, so they are basically 'already hitched', but they are 'officially getting married' so it is probably worth a headline.

I wonder whatever happened 2 her movie 'Somewhere.' I wonder what Sofie Cops will be remembered 4: Her directorial skills, marrying indie bros, or 'totally ruining the Godfather III'.

The Somewhere director will marry longtime rocker beau, Thomas Mars, in August at her family's villa in Bernalda, which is in southern Italy.

"Yes, they are getting married and having an intimate family wedding," her rep tells PEOPLE.

The wedding, Coppola's second, will take place in the Palazzo Margherita, a 19th-century villa which the director's father, Francis Ford Coppola, has rebuilt and is renovating. The family is originally from the region, and Coppola's great-grandfather came from Bernalda.

The 40-year old director and Mars, 34, lead singer of the Grammy Award-winning band Phoenix, have two children, Romy, 4½, and Cosima, 1.

Do u think their children will grow into relevant indie humans?

Do u think they will 'last'?
Do French ppl and Italian ppl 'get along'?
Should they have been married b4 they had children?
Should she change her name 2 Sofie Mars?
Should he change his name 2 Thomas Coppola?
Do u wish u were a relevant indie celeb marrying another relevant indie celeb?

Sofia Coppola makes crappy new indie movie, puts her husband's song in trailer [via Phoenix]
</embed>

Sofia Coppola made 'one great indie movie' back before every1 realized that Garden State, The Royal Tenenbaums, and Lost in Translation all actually 'set back the art of filmmaking' at least 20-50 years. She made Lost In Translation, a semi-autobiographical film where she 'gets railed' by an old guy (Bill Murray). Not sure that the movie actually 'said anything' but it was 'deep' and it was 'set in Japan' and Bill Murray 'acted deep and disconnected', so it was a 'critical success.' She has also made a few other indie films that appeal to empty indie broads who need to buy 'cool looking movie posters' for their rooms.

N e ways, Sofia Coppola is married to Thomas Mars, the French guy from Phoenix. She used Phoenix's song "Love Like a Sunset" in her new trailer for the upcoming hollow indie film Somewhere. Movie seems 'absolutely boring.' Seems to be about a bro actor dad who has to take care of his daughter when he could be focusing on things like 'being a bad ass bro' and 'fucking hot bitches.'

Sorta boring. Feel like maybe she shoulda cast Miley Cyrus / Demi Lovato in this movie if she wanted it to make mad bank.
Not really digging the Phoenix favoritism. Bet he probably gets 'mad soundtrack royalties' to feed their family. Not sure if this is fair. Not sure if studios should still make 'indie films.' They should probably just invest in Avatar / Toy Story 3D type of movies.

First trailer for the new film directed by Academy Award Winner Sofia Coppola
Plot: A hard-living Hollywood actor re-examines his life after his 11-year-old daughter surprises him with a visit.
Starring: Stephen Dorff, Elle Fanning, Michelle Monaghan and Benicio Del Toro
Release Date: December 22

Kinda scared of Dakota Fanning's lil sister, Elle Fanning.

Sorta wonder what went wrong with Spike Jones and Sofia Coppola's marriage. Maybe Spike Jonze loves to work with the Arcade Fire so much because he wants them to sell more records than Phoenix.

Do yall like indie movies?
Do yall like film?
Is Sofia Coppola a 'great American director'?
Did phoenix have to give her their song 4 free?
Does this movie look like it will change ur life?
Is Love really 'like a sunset'?
Will Thomas Mars and Sofia Coppola get divorced in the next 5 years?
Are yall lost in translaish?
