Francis Ford Coppola’s personal laptop was stolen in a robbery at his production office in Buenos Aires. The laptop contained drafts of his upcoming film Tetro, which will star Matt Dillon. Reps for Coppola say the screenplay was saved in other places.
Reps for the thieves say they were only trying to help. They call themselves freedom fighters, and say that if Coppola releases another film like Jack, it may ruin the Godfather movies and Apocalypse Now for them forever. They say they did it because they’re sick and tired of having to see movies with Nic Cage in them, just because he’s related to Francis. They say they wished Sofia was present so they could shoot her in the face kidnap her and keep her from making movies. They say her movies are tedious exercises in nothing and that she needs to learn something about life before she wastes everyone’s time again. Yes, they said all of this.

Don’t like the Coppola’s? Eh, to each his…Pwn. Hehe, good one NOMINUS.
Not sure where the Hogan reference came from, but it made me laugh. Good work.
LONG LIVE BIRTHDAY DOG!! YIPEE!!
Oh, and let me please deflect the sure-to-follow claims that Lazytown stole the laptop. We get it.
I like the Coppola of 20 years ago. Now? Not so much.
Lance seems to know a suspicious amount of what the thieves said. A South American prison isn’t the place one wants to spend their life, however noble the cause.
not saying it was, but if Lazytown really did steal the laptop, would you turn us in?
imean c’mon.
c’mon.
I wish there was TV news on here. I’ve had this one liner about the "bionic woman" that I’ve been saving for about a week. sigh. When will an opportunity arise? sigh. And depression sets in. high.
+1 Brazilian
RobbersFreedom Fighters!Did Birthday Dog escape from a German prison camp? Is that why Colonol Klink has come to get him?
"Birthday DOOOOOOOOOOOOG!"
does it make me a wigga if i pronounce it ‘Birf-day Dawg’?
Yes. Yes it does.
Hell nah JK, we all need ar skrill wigga.
Birthday Dog RUNS THIS SHIT!
B-Dog is on the case. He will sniff out the stolen laptop.
After he finds it most likely he will make needed changes to the script anyhow.
Only if it’s not a mac laptop. B-dog only knows windows OS and linux.
They opened the front door with a credit card, so that’s what you get Hollywood people when you try to invent quirky ways to stole things.
Besides, he runs a production office and doesn’t even have a proper lock (let alone an alarm)?
That’s stupid if you ask me, considering the robbery rates in Buenos.
Looks like an inside job. Better check with Serious Cat first if that’s the case.
Sounds like maybe Coppola might be looking for some good press and this was a cheap way of getting it.
I agree with dudley, perhaps this is a way to get press, since his previous scandal the "stolen" sex tape, "One Night In Francis" didn’t work out as well as the Coppola empire had hoped.
Personally, I want to hear Nominus’ Bionic Woman joke.
So now we’re going to criticize people for nepotism and other unfair business practices? What’s the world coming to?
Ah, thanks hairy, I knew I could count on you. So whats the subject? Bionic Woman you say? I’ve only got one thing to say about that:
"We couuuuld rebuild her, but who’s her insurance company? Plus, this is just a woman, so what’s the point?"
Something like that
I knew I should have just waited for it to naturally come up in a conversation. I mean, me and my friends are ALWAYS chatting about that show, so why couldn’t I just wait? Because I got greedy, thats why.
Is she on a PPO or an HMO, that could be the deciding factor.
Did anyone actually SEE the Bionic Woman premier? I chose to sleep. She does look hot though.
Coppola Dursted when he released a Wine label!
In his defense Vegas, my girlfriend likes how the "Sofia" bottle of wine looks. We didn’t buy it though because Sangria was on sale.
I would have went with Sangria too.
I said this about Oliver Stone on another site, but its just as true for Coppola these days.
Some directors are full of piss and vinegar, too bad Francis Ford Coppola ran out of vinegar years ago.
