Guess what, kiddies. Ol' Vladimir Putin likes Francis Ford Coppola's movies. [And this is different from gangbangers valorizing Scarface how?]
Russian President Vladimir Putin praised the works of director Francis Ford Coppola as the two met for tea at the Kremlin before Coppola received a film award.
"In Russia your works are well known and highly valued," Putin told Coppola during a televised portion of the meeting Saturday. He said he was not just referring to "The Godfather" -- which is extremely popular in Russia -- but also to films "that so accurately tell of the horrors of war."
You get the feeling that this may be one of those meet and greets the filmmaker may later live to regret? Me, too.
Makes you wonder which Coppola character Putin most identifies with, though. Leave your best guess in the comments. Remember, Stalin liked John Wayne.
