Miscellaneous Movie Musings - Page 311

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

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.

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

All that and more via Quick Reply.

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.

innerSpaceman · 03-19-2008, 02:14 PM

Oh, there's a smiley pull-down that I never noticed.

Woot! Ah, but if G.C. had never perceived me as cranky, I would never have had the smilavailability pointed out to me. Huzzah.

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.

Oh, uh, to re-focus the thread on movie musings.

I'm amused that Paramount is going to take another shot of adapting Dune into a movie.

And bemused that Sam Raimi will direct an attempted revival of the Jack Ryan franchise (which will likely take the Bond route of a just-getting-started Ryan in a present-day adventure).

- but, God, that makes me so happy!

Where's the Total Serious Happy Thread?
