Sitting here watching The Godfather for the 1400th time....

[Robbie3000]

I fukking love the Godfather epic on HBO. They cut out so many great scenes in the first one, but it's still so classic.

I was reading the Godfather wiki and didn't know Sonny was a beast on the streets. Apparently he was quite the field general on the streets.

Makes sense why he went to the mattresses so quick.

One thing I didn't get is why Solatzo thought he could murk Vito and then get Sonny to work with him.

Another book tidbit: Mike gets back at the guard who betrayed him as well

It's in the book and you only see this in the Epic.

Random shyt but my first exposure to message boards was a Godfather fan site. I was shocked as a lil kid that you could get so many new talking points from 2 movies and a book.

I really think I should find time to read that book finally.

Don't breh, it's ... one of the few instances where the movie is (vastly) better than the book.

You can read his eyes the whole time and even in that scene where dumbass Fredo said he Johnny Ola took him a place

I remember watching that part and softly saying, "Fredo, you fukkin idiot "
