I know I know. I only recently grew enough brains to have an attention span for movies.

It's one of my wife's favorite movies so she is guiding me through it. Her all time favorite is Godfather II.


Seems like kind of a bum deal that Godfather has to meet with people all through his daughter's wedding day and give them whatever they want.

Are they in Italy? My wife says it's like New Jersey or NY.

These actors are all really charming, although the cinematography could have more establishing shots and pans.

Frank sintatra clone just asked for a part in a movie. True to life, I'm assuming it's the prequel to Die Hard

The first two are fantastic, third one not as good but worth watching, very strong correct ending imo.

It probably did, originally, but IIRC, Coppola had to do some brutal cuts to bring it in short enough so the studio would release it.

Brando was a loving nutcase and they let him do what he wanted.

Also yes Don Corleone is like stupid saintly considering.

The guy who played Luca was so nervous about doing a scene with Brando that he spent all his time on the wedding set rehearsing. Coppolla saw this and made it part of the story.

Did you catch the bit about Sonny's dick? In the book it's apparently really explicit that he has a massive dong and injures a girl with it. There's a quick reference to it during the wedding scene.

I actually saw two references, I think: The wife or w/e gesturing, and then... someone was giving a speech and gestured to his pelvis then made a thrusting motion with his handds


I can barely remember these characters names, but I catch every dong reference

If Luca was alive when there was a hit attempted on the Don, no force on Earth would stop Luca from getting revenge.

Oh, so he wasn't low-level, he was a fanatic? Hmmm... seems excessive to my wife... seems confusing to me but then again any movie with more than 3 main characters baffles me. That's why I'm live posting this, mainly, so I can go back and check my notes and not ask my wife " who was that guy again? Oh, the main character? Oh."
