  1. Something I just realized:

    Carmine and Italia Coppola had 3 children:

    1. Talia Coppola - She initially married film composer David Shire (The Conversation, Zodiac), before marrying Jack Schwartzman. They had a child, actor Jason Schwartzman (Rushmore, The Darjeeling Limited).

    2. Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather, Apocalypse Now) - He married Eleanor Coppola had three children, filmmaker Sofia Coppola (Lost In Translation), film writer: Roman Coppola (Moonrise Kingdom), and the late Gian-Carlo Coppola whose daughter Gia Coppola directed the recent James Franco film (Palo Alto.)

    3. August Coppola - He married Joy Vogelsang and together they had several kids including Nicolas Coppola better known by his stage name: Nicolas Cage (well, ya know).

    Together their family has accumulated 23 Academy Award nominations, 9 wins. This may not be news to anyone, but I had no idea all these celebrities were all so closely related. Sofia Coppola, Nicolas Cage, and Jason Schwartzman are first cousins, that kinda blows my mind.

  2. It's a fine title, there is absolutely nothing inherently wrong with it. I'm just a little disappointed that it doesn't have the "movie-serial" quality of the originals, sounds more like an EU book title. But four years from now, we'll all be throwing it around like all the others. It serves its purpose and has absolutely no impact on the overall quality of the movie.
