In honor of the 33rd anniversary of Apocalypse Now, film editor Brian Caroll put this mash up together. It's a gem. Makes me want to go back and watch the movie and the epic documentary Hearts of Darkness around the making of the famously plagued and problematic - but ultimately brilliant film. Coppola's quotes, especially the one that Caroll ends the tribute with, are gold. Here are a few of my favorites: "I want a...
