Francis Ford Coppola

"Francis"

in the "trade" ?

( Bill Etra WAS my "intro" ! )

GOT

"Pissed OFF at ME"  ?

WHY

because I would NOT GIVE HIM
A
"Via Video System ONE" !

( His nephew IS...Beverly Hills "classmate" OF....Cameron Diaz ? )

Nicholas Coppola...who changed his name to Nick Cage

he'd built the "Kewlest" TRUCK...van.....RV

BUT..."exclusively"  for...

MAKIN MOVIES ?

it's ABOUT...the "Process" OF

CREATIVITY !

giving BIRTH to "IDEAZ" ?

WELL FFC "ownz" the "Flat Iron" building
in SFO
there IS "another" ONE
in "Boston" !!!

SO

George Lucas IS in FFC's office
( HE's DONE THX. 1138. "American" Grafitti" HF's FIRST movie ROLE tne YEllow Hot ROD ! )
"pitching" financing FOR A "SERIES' OF MOVIES"
CALLED

"StarWars" ?

Who IS building Cabinets THERE

"Harrison FORD"

NO I'm NOT making this UP

"carrie" comes IN to READ 4 a "part"
in "starwars"

BUT there's NO..."counterpart"
SO
FFC and GL "ask" HF
to "read "lines" with HER 4 a "screenTEST"

making JUST a "thought IN UR head....REAL !!!!

get "OpenOffice.org" EVERYTHING

BUT

GET the "Screenwriterz" PlugIN

"Francis" SWEARS by IT !!!!

U CAN

WRITE

a "screenplay" ?

YES

it's actually

EASY !!!

CHEERS !

three

"Section D"

HBS "classmates" !!!!

NO...I'm NOT making this UP !
Francis...uses sound ?
THEN and NOW
 ( somebody ELSE's system ? )
while listening  the "soundtrack"
moves little "pics" around ?
well actually
it's BE more "correct" to SAY

"Blocking them OUT" ?
( HIS wordz NOT mine ...then )

FOR "example" Sergio Leone.....in his MIND....SHOT the WHOLE PICTURE
before he EVER "rolled" even a FOOT of FIlm

SO DOES..."Mr. E".....Clint Eastwood !!!!

well...HE WAS...da" GUY" IN ...those "Spaghetti Weternz" !!!!

HANG em HIGH..Outlaw Josey Wales
( Dying AINT MUCH of a LIVIN   !!!! ).

maybe he IS "unique" in this "regard" ?

in "hollywoodSpeak" THAT "means"

figuring OUT all the "screen angles"
"BLOCKING"

U PUT...little X's from 3/8 in. masking TAPE on the FLOOR !

"blocking" means WHERE the ACTORZ will stand/move form and TO

HE....demo'd me HOW he "does IT"

he actually STARTS with the "sound TRACK" ?

doesn't THAT strike you....

as "contrarian" ?

IF your are "working" IN

a "visual medium" ?

WHY would you START
with SOUND ?

anyway...HE was outta MONEY

had SPENT ALL the $$ he made from Godfather
HE and Charlie Sheen...almost DIED
making
"Apocolypse NOW"

"Heart of Darkness" was the BOOK
as far as I'm concerned
Dennis Hopper "stole" the SHOW !!!
