TS: Godfather vs Godfather II

I want a series on the making of Nashville, with a whole episode devoted to Kael's preemptive review.

Yeah, I assume Cabaret was already covered by that.

oh watched fosse/verdon but would be happy for more Cabaret

yeah, there was some Cabaret in the Halston series too, but I want it to be the sole focus

i never finished the Halston show - Cabaret being in there might make me revisit

weird bit of crossover content in The Irishman/The Offer (based on a cursory scan of storylines, haven't seen the latter)

What was it? I must have missed that.

By the end, I think the best, most natural performance might have been Jake Cannavale as Caesar. When I saw the name I assumed he was Bobby's son (he is); also Sidney Lumet's grandson.

Joe Colombo's attempted assassination was shown during The Irishman, as was the hit on Joe Gallo by the titular Irishman. different contexts, obv. the former was this dreamlike & grisly slo-mo shooting.

There's a clean-looking print of Crazy Joe (Peter Boyle) on YouTube; I've never seen it, will watch soon.

The Halson show was fine. I admired Ewan McGregor's commitment to it.

When I saw the name I assumed he was Bobby's son (he is)

didn't he also play Bobby's son in Nurse Jackie? I remember him being good in that

(Open tweet for the full joke)

why do I find it so funny when Tattaglia is seen meticulously grooming himself during the meeting of the 5 Families

Maybe that's what the Don meant when he said Tattaglia's a pimp

Lol I actually think it is

Watched this with mom tonight in honor of dad

It never gets old.

You're not a wartime consigliere, Tom

(masked and very very distanced of course)

It's gotten old. That was all decided last year.

CLEMENZA

Anyway watching this tonight was a blessing.

always a good call <3

Part II at Regal cinemas in the US for $5 this week

WAHT

Part II at Regal cinemas in the US for $5 this week.

lol

my offer is this:

nothing.

I had the odd experience of watching II before I watched I. Anyway, I prefer the second, particularly the denouement. And the Fredo/Michael dynamic. Cazale is just devastating.

"I am not resigning," Johnson said defiantly at a news conference Tuesday, calling the threat "absurd" as Republicans are "trying to do their job." "We need steady leadership. We need steady hands on the wheel," he said. "Look, I regard myself as a wartime speaker."

If he were a wartime speaker, a Sicilian, they wouldn't be in this shape.
