Where does that guy find the time??</p>

<p>Anyways, for those of you who either admire multitasking or great American cinema, Francis Ford Coppola will be speaking <strong>this Saturday</strong> after the 7:20 screening of his new movie, <a href="http://www.ywyfilm.com/"></a> at the <a href="http://www.sundancecinemas.com/showtimes.html">Sundance Kabuki</a>.  <i>YWY</i> apparently creates a complicated plot involving a linguist, the nature of consciousness, trippy imagery, possible time travel, Nazis, and a great romance, such that even FFC says it'd probably be better for you to talk to him after you see the movie to try and figure it out.  </p>

<p>Talk to Francis Ford Coppola?  What a chance!  Take him up on his offer!  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Godfather">Can you refuse</a>?  (Extra bonus:  maybe you'll get yourself cast in the next <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001068/">Sofia Coppola</a> movie too!  Or get a job at a <a href="http://www.cafecoppola.com/cafezoetrope/">North Beach cafe</a>.  Or meet <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Cage">Nicolas Cage</a>'s son <a href="http://justjared.buzznet.com/2007/02/01/kal-el-cage/">Kal-El</a>.  Or get your short story optioned by <a href="http://www.zoetrope.com/">Zoetrope</a>.  Or hear the band <a href="http://www.myspace.com/coconutrecords">Coconut Records</a>.  Or sip some <a href="http://www.sofiamini.com/">sparkling wine with a straw</a>....)  </p>
