2 hours into the 7-hour Godfather special. Already learned something new.

Posted by GregW (aka not2fast) Jan 20 '16, 15:11

The horse-head bit was not all about Johnny Fontaine. Tom runs into the young (under-age) 'protege' the director is currently screwing on his way out of his house.

That was probably why they were so gruesome.

I loved Tracy Morgan's line about the Godfather on the Tonight Show a couple of nights ago. "I watched the Godfather 150 times while I was (spoils) - pmb Jan 20, 15:25
I swear there was stuff in this cut I'd never seen before (I'm not putting a warning on this as it's a 40 year old movie on a board of movie fans - Mel Profit Jan 20, 15:17 10
- Yes, a chonological cut with more footage. These are some other differences I have seen so far. - GregW Jan 20, 15:34 3
  - My favorite part they added - eag Jan 20, 17:13
  - good gravy - that's a lot of difference. - Mel Profit Jan 20, 15:37 1
    - yes. -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 20, 15:41
- it is 1 & 2 edited chronologically with deleted scenes put back in..my spoils - Peglegpete Jan 20, 15:29 5
  - I figured given the chatter. I hope they run it some weekend soon. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 20, 15:30 4
    - they will and it's also ON DEMAND! -- nm - Remlik Jan 20, 16:03 1
      - come'er...*puckers up like Bugs Bunny* -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 20, 16:17
    - I gave notice of it last week :( -- (link) - Peglegpete Jan 20, 15:31 [Backboard] 1
      - I'll look for it. Thanks. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 20, 15:33
That they are a little overrated? -- nm - Spawndroid Jan 20, 15:13 28
- You're just terrible at everything. -- nm - David Jan 20, 15:33 2
  - At towing the line? Agreed. -- nm - Spawndroid Jan 20, 15:56 1
    - I knew Rocky Burnette. Rocky Burnette was a friend of mine. You, sir, are no Rocky Burnette. -- nm - David Jan 20, 16:41
- On the list. -- nm - Krusty Jan 20, 15:17 23
  - I'm just gonna forget he said that - eag Jan 20, 15:18 1
    - I watched them once 20 years ago, I never need to see them again. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 15:19
  - I actually kind of agree, I find them good movies, but terribly boring. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 15:17 20
    - What did you think of The Good/The Bad/The Ugly? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 15:23 3
      - Slllllllloooooooooowwwwwww. -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 15:24 2
        
        And what about The Hateful Eight? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 15:29 1
        
        slow but enjoyable -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 15:52
    - I find perfection boring as well. - Krusty Jan 20, 15:20 15
      - give me Goodfellas over any of the Godfather movies. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 15:21 14
        
        Agreed. -- nm - Spawndroid Jan 20, 15:54
        
        I don't love Goodfellas as much as everyone else. I don't care for Ray Liotta as an actor so that hurts the film for me. - Krusty Jan 20, 15:27 12
        
        Right. Goodfellas shows that they don't win. Godfather shows that they don't win and... - Mel Profit Jan 20, 15:40 9
        
        maybe it is something I need to see again at this stage in my life. - groiny Jan 20, 15:49 1
        
        It might have more meaning for you now. It deals with the consequences of choices. Michael's choices and decisions are... - Mel Profit Jan 20, 15:58
        
        Godfather was opera. Goodfellas was rock and roll -- nm* - slipping jimmy Jan 20, 15:41 6
        
        Right. -- nm - Krusty Jan 20, 15:57
        
        well put. I was googling art terms to make the comparison but this is accurate. - Mel Profit Jan 20, 15:44 4
        
        i never read the original novel but apparently it was pretty pulpy. Coppola's genius was turning it into something more Shakespearean -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 20, 15:46 3
        
        Mario Puzo wrote a Damn good book, others stuff of his was good to, makes a good read, ie the sicilian -- nm - Big Zebowgeiski Jan 20, 16:25
        
        I didn't think it pulpy but definitely less than the movie. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 20, 16:00 1
        
        you did learn why Luca Brasi was feared though. *shiver* -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 20, 16:01
        
        rest easy Krusty...I got this *pats Krusty on the shoulder nods, turns and punches Groiny in the crotch* -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 20, 15:28 1
        
        Haha! -- nm - Krusty Jan 20, 15:34
- Not a bit. -- nm - GregW Jan 20, 15:14
