is the beef squashed?

 

Yeah baby I’m all for One From the Heart being a 10/10 masterpiece. It’s a fable, an artificial reconstruction of Coppola’s true love coupled with the sorrow of his infidelity - a loveletter and an apology to his wife (who also had an affair). It’s also, on a technical level, the remnants of his dream of Zoetrope Productions and the idea that he could live edit a film (much more on that in the book). It sunk him so much that he never really recovered. I am only midway through the book, in the preproduction stages of this film, but it’s so good that I am getting anxious to read about how bad the fallout is.

The only bad part, truly, is the music. I like Tom Waits, but the music (outside of maybe the last two scenes) stinks.

 

My favorite credits recently were for The Fall Guy showing the behind the scenes from the stunts for the movie was so neat and really sent home the "this movie is a loveletter to stuntmen" sentiment.

 

The forum won't let Greg forget.
