Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[Gemini Cricket]

Well, don't devastate your life by watching a movie, iSm. Sheesh!
It's all make-believe, don't forget...

[innerSpaceman]

Um, except that it's not make-believe, G.C.

I know you were kidding around, but Goodfellas tells a true story. (Though of course it takes dramatic license)

Perhaps that's why I like The Sopranos, but can't stand to watch Goodfellas or The Godfather. Ugh, I hated constantly driving through through those tollbooths where Sonny was gunned down. Yuck.

[Gemini Cricket]

Oy, lighten up, dear.
No one's making you watch anything.

[innerSpaceman]

Ugh, I hate the internet. You mistake my tone, sweetie-darling.


It's the damn Quick Reply feature. It's so convenient, but doesn't offer smileys. But the time I type stuff and then realize a smiley might be appropriate, I'm too lazy to "Go Advanced."



But, um, yeah, those are true stories. The Godfather stories in particular, well, I knew relatives of some of those people. And yeah, those tollbooths were a constant drive-thru.


For perspective though, there's a certain tunnel on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad that scares me every time I go thru it. And I squeal with a combination of fear and delight. And it remains one of my favorite rides.


It's all relative.



Still, I'm not a big fan of mafia movies. For repeat viewings that is. Pfft, I wish I never purchased Schindler's List. Great film, but am I ever in the mood to watch it. Um, No.

That's an outright falsehood, you fvcking troll.

Just in case it wasn't obvious, I'd like to add:

I get what you are getting at, though, iSm. However, I'm a big fan of the genre. Oddly, J doesn't seem to be - at least not as much. He has yet to see the Godfather series in any part, and I'm sure there's a bunch of other stuff he missed. I'm not even sure if we own Goodfellas, though I have a feeling we do. I can't wait to catalogue his DVDs.

I'm not a fan of the genre, which is why the sheer excellence of Goodfellas really stands out for me. I've never watched The Godfather. I did watch the first season of The Sopranos, because it was a satire. I think it began to veer away from that in the 2nd, and so lost interest in the show.
