MODERATORS
Its not made clear in the article how this happened, so I'm guessing they used AI generated quotes? Aside from one quote attributed to a different movie, it seems everything was fabricated...
I don't think it was AI doing it, it was likely someone in the marketing department.
It's actually, as a concept, pretty brilliant. Undercut the complaints of the current movie by showing the complaints about the directors previous films.
They should have just found real complaints.
I also don't think Dracula is on the same stage as the Godfather or Apocalypse Now.
It isn't hard to find real reviews:
"Overly long and boring." - Rex Reed on the Godfather, 1972
https://theweek.com/entertainment/5191/apocalypse-now-original-1979-reviews
"The Vietnam War was a tragedy. Apocalypse Now is but this decade's most extraordinary Hollywood folly." - Frank Rich, Time Magazine on Apocalypse Now, 1979
"profoundly anticlimactic intellectual muddle" - Vincent Canby, New York Times on Apocalypse Now, 1979
Maybe they put in the fake quotes as placeholders meaning to run down the real quotes later and just never did? 🤔
The whole move made zero sense even if the quotes were real. Zero relevance to the actual movie. I’m wondering if Coppola is losing it given this coupled with the allegations from the set
What are the allegations?
Here's some parts of a recent news article:
"The sources claim that Coppola’s behavior was unprofessional. One source who was on the set during the nightclub scene estimated that between 150 to 200 people were assembled, including background actors and crew as Coppola started directing the scene. The filmmaker kept leaping up to hug and kiss several women, often inadvertently inserting himself into the shot and ruining it, which the source said was unusual. The source said that after multiple takes, Coppola got on a microphone and announced in earshot of everyone in the room, “Sorry, if I come up to you and kiss you. Just know it’s solely for my pleasure.” "
What the fuck.
tbh that's pretty mild by hollycreeps standards....
Sorry, if I come up to you and kiss you. Just know it’s solely for my pleasure.
Grab 'em by the pussy, eh, Francis?
It's actually pretty brilliant. People are saying the new movie sucks? Point how how the classics from the same director were also panned before people figured it out.
I guess I missed the part where people were saying it sucks
It has extremely mixed reviews with some people saying it's genius and others saying it's a non-sense movie.
