I did fall asleep reading a particularly erotic chapter
in my grandmother's journal.

She wrote very detailed descriptions of her experiences...
===================================
Updates! I've also now seen The Godfather Part II and The Godfather Part III, click the links if you want to skip ahead! Hey, we even have goon impressions for an obscure made-for-TV spinoff (via its source material) as well as The Godfather Epic/ Saga!
===================================

Some random thoughts:
  • James Caan is, um, not particularly convincing as an Italian. Thing is I think they might've been able to get away with it if they kept his hair straight and dyed it black. They seemed to think him having curly-ish hair would be enough for the audience to be like "eh, of course he's not Italian but I can buy it" but the opposite might have worked better.

  • Diane Keaton looks kind of Taylor Swift-ish here.

  • This is the first time I've ever seen Al Pacino actually look like a healthy young man. What's funny is by the end he's already starting to look like the usual coked-up burnout he usually is.

  • I kept getting floored by some of the dumb decisions Diane Keaton and Al Pacino's characters kept making. She finds out her boyfriend's father is a mafioso that kills people and isn't like "well I'll see ya around, good luck with that!" Pacino's first wife gets blown the gently caress up and so since he loves Diane Keaton and presumably doesn't want her to meet the same fate of course he should marry her, right? Oh, and Keaton accepts because she's also a dumb bitch I mean drat!

  • Gotta say it rivals Amityville II: The Possession in its accuracy of depicting Catholic families!

You uh, totally misread this dude. He doesn't love Diane Keaton and Diane Keaton doesn't want to marry him but 1. he needs a wife for his ambitions and 2. is Diane Keaton just going to say no to the dude who kills people?

Was Pacino's whole don't-wanna-go-into-the-family-business thing in the beginning all a bunch of bullshit? It doesn't seem like it to me, but then I couldn't really feel a "turn" in his character when he goes all-in on the mafia poo poo, either. He was just hard for me to read.

I don't know if I buy that about Keaton's character. When Pacino was hiding out in Sicily she was still all trying to get in touch with him and poo poo. I really think she was just an idiot and/or "I am just so in love I can't help it ugh".

I actually do remember that Al Pacino's character's name is Michael Corleone and Diane Keaton's is Kay, but I think it's way more fun to refer to them as Al Pacino and Diane Keaton for some reason that I'm sure is stupid but IDGAF.

I’m pretty sure he loved Kay before he went to Italy. Plus he didn’t have mafia ambitions before the attempt on Vito’s life. There was no love after he returned to America, for the reasons you described.

No he was earnest then. He turns either when they try to kill Vito, or when they blow up his wife.

Far be it from me to go about criticizing a timeless classic, but just to be honest not being able to understand what motivates Al Pacino kept me from really appreciating it the way I hoped to. I couldn't tell if he was more "turns out the only way I can keep my loved ones safe is to dive right in and kill all the other dudes" (sounds like this isn't it) or if maybe he's just the ultimate badass and was always playing the reeeeaaally long game (sounds like this isn't it either) or this is a tale of a good guy getting corrupted (sounds like maybe this is more like it).

I do still feel like watching The Godfather Part Deux, though, so that's something!

maybe he didn't want to be intimidating, kind of like a willy wonka where you tell people there will be consequences if they gently caress around but you secretly want them to gently caress around because you and your hobbits have been rehearsing this bit for weeks and you're just so proud of them.

except the hobbits in this case are guns

The book has recurring subplot of Sonny Corleone's wife having a huge vagina that only Sonny could fill.

You have it backwards. Sonny had a ginormous d*ck that made sex painful for his wife. This is why she was ok with sonny cheating.

I was cooking dinner that night. I
had to start braising the beef,
pork butt and veal shanks for the
tomato sauce. It's Michael's
favorite. I was making ziti with
the meat gravy, and I'm planning
to roast some peppers over the
flames, and I was putting on some
string beans with the olive oil
and garlic, and I had some beautiful
cutlets, cut just right, that I
was going to fry up before dinner
just as an appetizer. I was home
for about an hour. My plan was
toStart the dinner early, so Karen
and I could go unload the guns
that Jimmy didn't want, and get
the package for Judy to take to
Atlanta latex that night. I kept
looking out the window and the
helicopter was gone. I asked Michael
to watch the sauce, and Karen and
I started out.
