As long as you don't type "loose" instead of "lose", you're okay with me.

I totally forgot that Rachel Weisz was in the original…
She was actually in the second one too but bailed on the third as her star rose and Brendan Fraser's fell. I guess since he's won an Oscar since she's back in.

IN MY OPINION the first 2 Godfather films were great for their time but not all that awesome either if you compare them to the best of the last 50 years like Goodfellas and Casino which are a couple of my favorite gangster movies.
FIFY. Saying "LET'S BE HONEST" somehow implies that you know better than the rest of us and we just can't admit to it. That's why you're catching so much flack. Your opinion is valid, but let's be honest, that doesn't make it factual or absolute.
Others have mentioned the two major flaws--the lack of Robert Duvall's character and the casting of Sofia Coppola.
Missing Duvall is one thing, replacing him as the family lawyer with George "Suntan" Hamilton is another. He was already an ongoing Hollywood joke because of his tan. How were we supposed to take him seriously in that role.
Other than those things I also thought it was a great movie. It mixed the plot with actual historical events of the time. It added depth where most people who didn't see it when it was released in the 80's will never get.
From Screen Rant:
quote:
The Godfather Part III fictionalizes events surrounding the death of the real Pope John Paul I and the Papal banking scandal. The film portrays Cardinal Lamberto, played by Raf Vallone, as a moral and honest man who investigates the Vatican Bank's activities. However, upon being elected pope his life is cut short when he is poisoned by Archbishop Gilday, a character based on Paul Marcinkus, the head of the Vatican Bank. The film's depiction of these events is inspired by real-life conspiracies surrounding the Pope's death and the subsequent scandals.

re: "We Built This City" is often labeled as the Worst/most annoying song of all time. BS.

Mickey Thomas was a great, great singer
Yes! I'm not a fan of "We Built This City" but Mickey Thomas sang one of my favorite songs from that era--Elvin Bishop's "Fooled Around and Fell in Love".
Get a Dry-Pro Air Tight cast cover. My 10 y/o son broke his arm a few weeks before we went to an all-inclusive resort in Jamaica. Needless to say, he was a very active kid and we planned on snorkeling, water parks, etc. This thing was amazing and there was rarely a drop of water after hitting water slides and snorkeling. You suck the air out with a straw or a pump, and it seals up. Worked wonders.

Playa de la Mar Bella, Barcelona--after 20 minutes my wife said she had seen enough schlongs for the day--big gay presence. Good gin and tonics at the beach bar, though.
Playa de la Malagueta, Malaga, Spain--better sights and they deliver drinks to you on the sand.

Before the aunt gets there, the wife (Alex's mom) says it was her mother's sister, and that she was going to take her in because that's what her mom would do. But evidently no one had seen her for years.

I had a jockamo last week and it wasn't bad. I don't know if they've tweaked it or I've become less hip.
Jockamos are hazy IPAs for the last few years. The original Jockamo was a west coast, or clear, IPA (my favorite kind). Still my favorite Abita recipe ever.
I was actually at a bottle sharing event a couple of years ago and someone offered me a low alcohol, or "all day" IPA. I declined and said that when one brews down the alcohol in an IPA it tends to have a sort of Ammonia smell--my wife calls it cat piss. For example, Abita's Big Easy IPA. Turns out one of the guys I was talking to was a brewer at Abita. He told me it was a big seller. More power to him but it's still cat piss.

What a weird thing to focus on, a two second shitting scene.
It was just a wtf moment that caught everyone off guard and added nothing to the show
Now you REALLY get the idea of what a hedge knight is--not exactly glamorous. So it added that.
Great movie, Great soundtrack.
And for all you folks who just didn't know wrestling existed, I get it. It's not football. However, in Louisiana it's been around in force since the 70's, and and to a lesser extent for decades before that. By the 70s lots of schools, particularly in South LA along the I-10 corridor had teams, and NO, BR, and Lafayette all had big tourneys back then. And as someone stated, LSU was nationally ranked and became a top 10 team under coach Larry Sciacchetano in the mid 70s-80s with two Top 8 finishes in the NCAA's. Unfortunately Title IX put the kibosh on many college wrestling programs, particularly in the South.
And as a State Champ back in the day, I can tell you that most decent wrestlers could do that peg board thing Matthew Modine did in the movie clip someone posted. :lol:
