'I'm Embarrassed': Francis Ford Coppola Apologizes for 'Godfather II' Starting 'Sequel Trend'

This writer will confess something: she didn't like Francis Ford Coppola's mob classic 'The Godfather' the first (and only) time she saw it. In her defense, she was 17 and in high school. Her tastes in movies have changed in the 24 years and she's willing to give the movie and its award-winning sequel, a second look.

So it struck her as odd that Francis Ford Coppola would apologize now for a movie that he made 50 years ago:

More from The New York Post:

Francis Ford Coppola apologized for making one of the greatest films of all time.

The Oscar-winning director, 85, told the Washington Post in an interview published Monday that he’s to blame for the never-ending amount of sequels in Hollywood, because he helmed 1974’s 'The Godfather Part II.'

'So I’m the jerk that started numbers on movies,” Coppola said. “I’m embarrassed, and I apologize to everyone.'

Yeah, no.

'The Godfather Part II' is not what started the trend. Not by a longshot.

And this writer knows enough about movies and Hollywood to know the sequel was goodVery good.

Six. Oscars.

It's not like the slop Hollywood is producing today.

Everyone knows Part III was terrible.

EVERYONE.

Seriously.

Like 'South Park' said: put a chick in it, and make her lame and gay.

Absolutely nothing.

Heh.

Perfect use of this gif. Well done.

Or that.

The trend of sequels was not Coppola's doing, and he shouldn't apologize for it.

And if he won't apologize for Part III, he should apologize for 'Megalopolis.'
