I used to think this movie was really really awesome, but I'm finding that I can't really figure out why that was anymore.
I've actually gotten to the point where my favorite character is probably, kinda, you know.....Kay Adams. So, I guess that gives you an idea of just how much I've fallen off the Godfather bandwagon.
For shits and giggles, I wonder, do the goombahs hate her because (a) she's an Anglo, (b) she's a woman, (c) she's someone who doesn't like violence, or (d) all the above.
I'm guessing, they basically just hate everything about her.
"Eh, I'm gonna go buy some fruit."
Oh well. I least I still think "The Departed" is pretty fucking awesome.
.....
I mean, it's not the easiest thing to explain, but....
I did go through this phase where I was like, The Godfather is fucking awesome! But then one day I basically sorta woke up and said, Woh, shit, this film glorifies crime and violence, doesn't it! (And no wonder my Italian friend gave me a dirty look when I said that I liked this movie!)
Although I do have this really funny memory, (do you know, one of those stories where you honestly can't remember if you've told it a hundred times, or if you only think that you have?), about how my friend and I randomly tuned in to this movie at some random point in the middle, and he said something like, Isn't this supposed to be one of the greatest movies of all time?
But, anyway.
And-- "speak softly love so none can hear us but the sky"? Is *that* the theme for *Teh Godfadda*? *crazy face*
I mean, at least the Dropkick Murpheys song from "The Departed" fucking fits into the theme, right.
So....
Just go, slowly, kids, go slow-- andante. Andante, no, slower-- adagio.
Adagio.
Take it easy.
....
And, you know, if Juan Magan forgets what his last name is, he has it tattooed on his forearm. *respect*
Leave the gun, take the tickets.
(rather loud) Electro Latino.
~ Ay ay ay, ay ay ay. Ven bailar conmigo; tu no bailes sola.
{Oh. Reto. 'El reto latino'. *nods* Right.... Is that it?}
"If I had any idea who Will.i.am is, I would be really psyched right now."
"It's one way, man! It's always been one way."
And you have to respect a man with a name like Don Omar....
But, you know, once I was watching this thing, and the guy was describing all the romantic chivalry crap of the air war in WWI, so he said-- Basically, it was about sneaking up behind someone, and shooting him in the back.
But where's the respect in that?
Ay ay ay, ay ay ay.
....
I mean-- George W. Bush: great president, or greatest president?
Because the whole thing is basically just a fancy way of saying, 'I don't believe in America.' (Or restaurants.)
And, you know, what movies were there, before 1980, at least, anyway? "Broken Blossoms" (1919, 1936)?
.... All that I can say is that Tony Tanner looks pretty damn good compared to Gerry Adams or Marlon Brando.
