you see, the thing is you're asserting that he used nepotism to get in. it's your responsibility to provide proof, so let's see it.

I don't have to provide anything. Yes. I'm asserting it. I'm saying that anyone who ever hired him knew he was related to Coppolla. Can i prove it? No. But no one could possibly have hired him for any other reason. Just because you read some silly article in People or saw some crap about him wanting to do it on his own on E! True Hollywood Stories doesn't make it true.

Slim swears it's a bunch a BS. Hahaha. what a scumbag. The guys tries to screw anything with two legs. I wouldn't let him near my favorite goat. The sad part is that he probably does get alot of poontang.

i'm perfectly willing to accept that it did happen. i'm also perfectly willing to accept that a given politician is corrupt, but i would have to have some kind of evidence beyond "boy politicians sure are corrupt!" the way you presented it makes it sound like you would always err on the side of likelihood just for the sake of not getting embarrassed.

Nepotism doesn't make $100,000,000 at the box office.

I'm saying, "I don't know why the movie-going public loves this guy."

I don't either. But nepotism does get you roles you wouldn't otherwise get. Then once you get roles, it gets your vehicle more publicity than it would otherwise get. I think it's kind of a weird snowball effect or something too. I'm not saying nepotism is all there is too it. I think Cage's success is one of the universe's biggest mysteries.
