Francis Ford Coppola talks about Kinski
Coppola might take his words back now given that the pinnacle of YouTube achievement is dogs humping stuffed animals and kids lip-synching to god-awful music.

The clip is from the Hearts of Darkness (1991), the Apocalypse Now documentary.

Yeah, his vision of YouTube does seem somewhat Utopian... The new Mozart on YouTube? That'll be the day.

I wonder what he thinks of this today.

not much of a prediction. This was obviously going to happen once VHS came to town (all but the fat girl reference, that is, which I think was a projection anyway).

Yes, camcorders have been accessible for a long time. I'd say that it wasn't at all obvious what the distribution model would be. Coppola's prediction has more to do with what content would become popular, and on that point I think we can agree that he ate his words.

<he ate his words>

I'm sure he's eating more than his words! ;-)
