the burden of privilege


I'd just like to state that I think it's quite wonderful that Sofia has overcome so many obstacles in her life, like contending with the suffocating burden of privilege, and has managed to pull herself up by her Lucchese boot straps. An inspiration to us all.

TWO snide posts about the same topic?! Somebody's bitter that they haven't managed to make it. 

Oooh! Looks like I hit a nerve, having the gall to critique one of your heroes.
Does Sofia pay you in Coppola wine, to be her public defender on IMDB message boards? Don't you have anything better to do? What a brave little keyboard warrior you are! Four quick replies to four separate negative posts about a celebrity. You must be a paid lackey. Don't get too drunk on that Coppola wine, or you might embarrass yourself with more pathetic posts, oh self-appointed defender of all things Sofia. Quick! Better check to see if her brother has any negative posts!

Wrong. I barely even like her. The film of hers I enjoyed the most was "The Bling Ring", and that was just OK... but the envy is coming off your post[s] in waves - so hey, she's better than you... 

My point was: What is the need to write three almost identical posts?! (rhetorical) ... You still haven't addressed this, possibly because it's hard to make sense of... Moving on.

Oh. You "barely even like her." But you responded to four negative posts about her one after the other. Guess you have a lot of time on your hands.

Envy? Envious of what? That I didn't win the sperm lottery like she did? Sure not envious of her filmmaking skills. But it's good to see you're also an armchair psychiatrist. Cool. I think "contempt" would be the more appropriate word. Contempt for her one-dimensional, inept, tedious filmmaking.

And my third post regarding her was from two years ago. Yeah so I made a few more recent ones. So what? If it stirs up sycophantic fanboys like you then all I can say is "mission accomplished."

Ok, back to policing the boards for you.

I do have a lot of time on my hands, as it happens… but evidently you have more, since you posted three times about the SAME thing… The span of time in between them is irrelevant - repeating yourself is still redundant. Most people would feel they got the message across after just one… but not you. Guess you like to be thorough…

Yeah, that seems accurate. You've envious you didn't win the sperm lottery… Good self-diagnosis there! We're making progress. … and at least moving on to discussing her film-making prowess or lack thereof - however superficially - is changing the record… No need to thank me for the therapy; it's free!

I'm not stirred up - unless stirred up counts as being baffled and amused by your unusual habits, in equal measure? 

I thought you were "moving along"? You just can't quit defending Sofia huh? I think you're the one with the issues. I see you're defending her in the FFC comments section under the "He spoiled his kids" comment. Gee, maybe you should ask Sofia to send you a pair of her soiled underwear as payment for being her self-appointed white knight around here.

Too bad she wouldn't even give you the time of day, if you ever happened to make your way across the pond and managed to catch a glimpse of her skulking around New York with her buddy Kim Gordon.

I have moved on - I'm replying to you because you replied to me; that's kind of how message boards work!

I don't even remember that comment - but good job stalking me...  Gotta fill those days up somehow, huh?!

I don't particularly see any evidence that he DOES spoil his kids - but I don't think that qualifies as 'defending'... Then again, your linguistic skills don't appear to be of the highest order... If you think liking only one out of 5 major films qualifies as 'sycophantic', then God help you if you ever come across somebody who likes 5 out of 5... Soiled undies?? Weirdo. 

Who's Kim Gordon?? Looks like you know more about Sofia's lifestyle than I do... Maybe you know a little TOO much, if I'm honest... !

You're funny. He doesn't spoil his kids? Doesn't he produce their movies? Sofia didn't even have a finished screenplay before she started filming Lost in Translation. Don't know many people who can get away with that. You're pretty ignorant, huh?

Kim Gordon was in the band Sonic Youth, a hipster friend of Sofia's. Again, you show your ignorance.

Maybe you should broaden your horizons and instead of just defending the extended Coppola brood, you could start defending their friends. How about the child molester/director Victor Salva. FFC has been producing his movies for years, even though he spent 15 months in jail for molesting an underage boy. You should head over to Victor Salva's comments section and start defending him too. FFC might give you an extra bottle of wine.
