The obvious, early effect of this is that a moving away from the real - or the sense of the 'real' - but it'll come back. - it's like all those crappy images one saw after Photoshop was released - just because a PS Filter exists doesn't mean one has to use it.

I've had a negative (ok, seriously NOT a pun, i SWEAR!) view towards digital film, getting afraid it was making things too...sterilized...too easy for the artist...(should all art have a degree of suffering? idk..but it feels more 'real' if it does...) but when he said that it gives the artist control over the light levels, the colors, just the entire shot has COMPLETELY reversed my thinking! whoa, ok, that whole part about digital film allowing the artist to compose the film was very profound!

How amazing to get such a film making legend on the show. Very interesting. You used to joke about having such folk on - who's next? Wow! How amazing to get such a film making legend on the show.

And really, I could listen to him talk, almost endlessly. He's such an interesting person, and really I do wish that he'd been able to successfully produce the films he wanted. He almost seems like a modern day Orson Welles, in how he's derided for the dreck he's made and the fastidiousness to which he wants his movies to be made; but when he is given the chance he is able to shine. <br><br>I'd never say that Coppola is the best filmmaker, ever, but he is one who I can say has the largest number of "favorites" sitting on my DVD shelf. And the man is truly an artist. I loved his comments on wanting to make things that aren't pigeon-holed into similar movies, and the great line about Sofia never remaking a Twilight film. <br><br>As always, a great show guys. The one down-side I'd say to the interview - and I kind of already did - is that you didn't really get to ask too many questions. (And I liked how you both felt victorious in his opinion on The Hangover.) :) Great interview – or should I say great to listen to Coppola talk.
