  1. “Who cares if you die broke if you make something that you think it’s beautiful”

  2. Ohh boo hooo not my custom 1 mill watch 😭😭😭😭. Eat a bag of taxes dick.

  5. I respect him putting his money where his mouth is to create his monstrosity.

    Ridley Scott has been squirting out garbage for years with no ramifications.

  9. I heard that him and Kevin Costner are working on a line of caffeine vapes. 

  11. I tried to watch it, but gave up. It was just so boring.

  12. Net worth of around 400 million.

    Probably found it in his garage.

  13. I’d rather wear a broken timex than either of those ugly ass watches.

  15. He apparently even sold a majority ownership in his winery. It made him a billionaire practically, and made him so much more money than his film career. Holy shit. I get passion projects. But what’s he thinking

  17. Coppola has always been a massive gambler. He wants to make films and he’s fine with being broke as long as he gets to do what he wants with his life. 

    Trust me when I say I don’t understand the comfort he has with poverty but I can respect the balls he has for betting his fortune to make his dream movie. 

  18. Kudos to him! I enjoyed the film because it was really weird.

  19. Other than the headline, there’s nothing to suggest he was forced to do this.

  20. Even if someone like him actually lost EVERYTHING, his version of couch surfing would include pools, saunas, trips to Italy etc etc as he hangs out with his millionaire friends.

    My version of couch surfing involved a few nights sleeping rough under a bridge and eating muffins out of a Tim Hourton’s dumpster

  21. Francis ford repo man.

    Bet you weren’t expecting a community reference.

  22. “Oh no! I made stink ass shitty film! Here’s my watch. Anyway moving on.” – FFC

  23. That’s cool, but I’ve got my eyes on a pretty sweet Timex from Walmart.

  24. ‘Forced to sell’?

    I seriously doubt it. Decided to sell for some other reason more likely.

  25. I find it frightening that if I ever became extremely wealthy I might spend a million on a watch. I feel like you have to be a certain kind of callous to own a watch like that, carefree and indifferent to what a million would mean to people in need

  26. I don’t feel bad for anyone that had/has a $1m watch

  29. We’re selling plasma to pay for insulin, they’re selling a single watch for 1 million dollars. See? The wealthy really are just like us.

  30. He uses film tax write-offs to protect his kids’ inheritance.

  32. A 1 million dollar watch is nothing compared to what that movie lost.

  33. He’s been way more broke multiple times. Surprised he doesn’t have online course in how to be rich bankrupt broke

  35. I wonder if Kevin Costner has any million dollar watches?

  36. Good for him. He spent all his money making a passion project. I respect that- he truly believed in it.
