Watching the Godfather Commentaryes i learned some weird stuff. Fans of the movie will remember that director Francis Ford Coppola had his daught play Mary, Michaels daughter in Godfather 3. I learned that this was her actually reprising ther role as she was the baby they used in the earlier films.
More then that i learned that Talia Shire (Rockys Adrian) is actually Talia Rose Coppola, sister of Francis.
And Francis ford Coppola's nephew is Nicholas Kim Coppola. Better known as Nicholas Cage.
Why cant i be a Coppola?

Did you get the Sofia Coppola connection? Even bigger, for some reason Francis met this year with Vlad Putin and gave him a copy of one of his daughters movie. Mr. Big Time, that Francis. His wine is pretty good too I must say.
Courtesy of IMDB (the names dropped are apparently movie people they have separate stuff about):
Coppola was a sickly youth, a case of polio which allowed him time to indulge in puppet theater and home movies.
Father of Mary Coppola, Sofia Coppola, Roman Coppola & Gian-Carlo Coppola
Son of composer Carmine Coppola.
Uncle of Nicolas Cage, Christopher Coppola and Marc Coppola and Jason Schwartzman.
Coppola began his winery enterprise by buying portion of historic Inglenook estate in 1975. His success in field is explored in book "A Sense of Place" by Steven Kolpan, 1999.
Brother-in-law of Bill Neil.
Uncle of Robert Schwartzman.
As of 2002, he is one of only four people to simultaneously win Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay (the other three being James L. Brooks, Billy Wilder, and Leo McCarey).
As of May 2002, the number of Coppola-family members appearing in or contributing to filmmaking stands at thirteen, spread over three generations.
Uncle of Matthew Orlando Shire, John Schwartzman and Stephanie Schwartzman. Grandfather of Gia Coppola. Father of Gian-Carlo Coppola. Great-uncle of Weston Coppola Cage.
Has released his own line of specialty foods.
His wife arranged for him to meet Jane Powell as a 40th birthday present.
Made a commercial for Suntory whiskey with legendary Japanese director Akira Kurosawa in the 1970s, an event which later influenced a salient plot point in his daughter Sofia's movie, Lost in Translation (2003).
George Lucas said that he based the Han Solo character from the Star Wars trilogy on Coppola.
Serves as the Honorary Ambassador of the Central American nation of Belize in San Francisco, California, USA. On their official roster of worlwide honarary consulates found on their official website, he is referred to as "His Excellency Ambassador Francis Ford Coppola," although he is not a Belizean citizen.
Four of his relatives have been involved in the Star Wars films of his friend George Lucas. His brother-in-law, Bill Neil, worked at Industrial Light and Magic during the production of the original trilogy. His daughter, Sophia, and son, Roman, played a handmaiden and Naboo guard, respectively, in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. His nephew, Christopher Neil, who worked as a dialogue coach for both Francis (on Jack and The Rainmaker) and Sophia (on The Virgin Suicides), did the same job on Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith--a job for which Coppola recommended him. In addition, his late older son was named Gian-Carlo. In Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, there is a Naboo vehicle called the Gian Speeder.

So I was watching Bram Stoker's Dracula the other day and I was checking out Dracula's concubine's, you know, his three hotter than hot brides, wondering whether I should just totally start wacking off at a hundred miles an hour, smoke pouring forth from between my hand and you know who when I said to myself, "Self," there must be one quality actress who went somewhere out of these three slick hotties. So at the end of the movie I checked out the credits and I was correct, there was one chick who went somewhere. One of Dracula's brides was none other than.......Monica Bellucci. Oh yeah.

I discovered this same through reverse. While wathing The Matrix Revolutions i was overcome by Monica Bullusa's protruding breasts. I said I must see more. I checked the internet for her boobies and found them in a still clip from dracula. Later I watched dracula and saw the whole deal. Nice tits man. Though i would not call her a quality actress.
Trivia: In the movie John Carpenters Escape from New York, The director of special effects photgrpahy and Matte Artist was non other then a young buck named James Cameron. If you watch Escape and Terminator you will see the similarities
