#GAYNRD DAILY Our daily round-up of things we like or find interesting on the web and social media for Tuesday September 14, 2021. Above: The Thinker by @isuke5238. Below: London saw a huge spike in manspreading on the underground in August.
“I don’t think there’s any artist of any value who doesn’t doubt what they’re doing.”
Director, Francis Ford Coppola
THE DIRECTOR is willing to spend up to $100 million of his own money to make Megalopolis. Deadline: Breathtaking bets on his vision established him as one of the greatest living American filmmakers and a vineyard magnate. Now, Francis Coppola is ready to put a lot of his hard-won chips on the table one more time to make his epic dream project, Megalopolis. While the financial configuration is still evolving, Coppola at 82 years young is betting big on himself once again, by sharing the financial risks of a film that will cost between $100 million-$120 million. He is in deep discussions with a stellar cast of actors eager to work with the director of The Godfather trilogy, Apocalypse Now!, The Conversation and other classics, on a seminal picture that is decades in the making.
Emboldened by the recent sale of a portion of his considerable vineyard holdings in Sonoma County to Delicato Family Wines, Coppola has fortified his resources to borrow against, and is ready to gamble once again on his vision to make a movie he feels can be a North Star for a younger audience, and society in general, searching for optimism in a moment where global warming is taking its toll, and polarizing politics and digital misinformation are so pronounced that half the country is resisting Covid vaccines that scientists honed in a remarkably short time to combat a global pandemic. “It has become like a religious war, in that it’s not about anything logical,” Coppola told Deadline. “I think the big news here is that I am still the same as I was 20 years ago or 40 years ago. I’m still willing to do the dream picture, even if I have to put up my own money, and I am capable of putting up $100 million if I have to here. I don’t want to, but I will do it if I have to.
THE VMAs were gay as hell.

CLASS IS IN SESSION with Radam Ridwan. Pssst, even cis people have pronouns. Keep swiping for more thoughts and follow @radamridwan this instant—and visit the link in our bio to support their work. Almost everyone has pronouns! Who doesn’t, you might ask? Some folks prefer to avoid using pronouns entirely, often by replacing them with their name. That is totally valid!

In the case of someone called Alex for example, instead of saying “she/he/they doesn’t/don’t use pronouns,” you would say “Alex doesn’t use pronouns.” Instead of saying “that belongs to her/him/them,” you would say “that belongs to Alex.”
