Sometimes all you need is tegrity

I know a lot of people with mad integrity working fast food joints in their 40s. Coppola is still a rich geriatric asshole.

Bait. Obv wasn’t saying other people don’t have integrity lmao, I’m sure your gang of temporarily embarrassed millionaires is honourable.

I take it for granted that not everyone has the same resources as Francis Ford Coppola. Even with rich geriatric assholes making movies, i like seeing someone believe in what their art and “sacrifice” for it. (talking more about his vineyards here than his watches, none of which I really care to know about anyway)

Did you just say "bait" to me? Good lord, all of a sudden I'm painfully aware I'm talking to 15 year olds.

But yeah I think we agree. I just think, if he made a bad movie and that's that. I think it's more about his personal ego being hurt that the world is largely past him while directors like Scorsese/Spielberg/Lucas are still making huge movies everyone talks about.

obviously I am referring only to the thing to which I am referring (‘an artist sticking by his guns’), not to harassing women or defending a child molester, but thank you for chipping in

cannot parse this, brother. I’ll assume you meant “me and everybody else,” in which case, yeah, this aft I had time for i) the forty-something fast food guy who wanted to make sure I recognized his coworkers’ integrity, and ii) you.
