Has he gone senile, or has he always been this horrible?
And fuck you Shia LaBeouf, you dog killer.

oh, coppola has been a piece of shit for a long time. he infamously defended and supported victor salva after the latter abused a child actor on one of his (salva's) movies. coppola also threatened to sue the child victim for breach of contract if the kid didn't complete post work for the same movie. AND he threatened to blacklist the victim. he also was dismissive of the abuse itself, saying that the age difference was very small and that salva was practically a child himself... salva was 29 and nathan forrest winters was TWELVE YEARS OLD.

here's a lengthy write-up of the allegations

I remember when he brought 21 year old Thora Birch to the Oscars as his date (he was in his 60s) and knew he was a creep since then.

Poor Thora. Growing up a child star with her creepy dad as manager she really had no one looking out for her.

I'm just going to choose to laugh that there are other "canceled" actors who weren't invited. Like, does that mean they're not important enough to be "properly canceled"? Have they been that forgotten? Does not being part of this nullify their "cancelation"? Does it double it? I have questions!

And what an amazing random chance that all of the "cancelled" actors he cast are white dudes!

[josiefier]

And still none for Gibson, Spacey, etc. But you're right, no Isiah Washington or Terrance Howard either

[juliette666]

If Coppola really wanted to be bold, he could cast actresses who were ACTUALLY cancelled by creeps like Harvey Weinstein.

How brave 🙄

based on this dude's history i would be more surprised if coppola had a decent take about anything. he's a piece of shit and i won't mourn the bastard when he croaks.

i'm so glad that megalopolis looks like it's going to flop.

Will this end everyone's love affair with Adam Driver???

[saturdaysinbed]

let's hope

[siaht]

Wait what's he got to do with it?

[pop_squash]

He's the main guy. I'm not saying he deserves to be canceled or whatever just for being in the movie, I was just curious if this would affect his stans.
