As The Better Godfather (Part I), I cannot condone this kind of behavior. Unless I get some of your points to put on a Classical Mythology test.
I actually did really well in mythology.

face should write me back about what he is doing for school next year.  it might be on these pages somewhere but there is no way i'll catch up with everything i've missed (and i suck at searching this site).
But I wish the public could, in the midst of its pleasures, see how blatantly it is being spoon-fed, and ask for slightly better dreams.

The updates are in the School Days thread (and maybe in the What Do You Wish You Were Doing thread).  Nothing's been decided.  Curiosity grows.

Rent and watch Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles.

I couldn't. I called video rental place and asked if they had it, but - as expected - they didn't. So I watched most of the BBC miniseries Charles II. with Rufus Sewell in the lead. It's pretty great.

Have you even seen the Godfather II?

I remember it differently.  In my version, you blindly gave it an A+ just to shut people up.

Tada!

This isn't really the place for this conversation, but I'm gonna butt in here for a moment.

The best part about The Godfather was that Michael wasn't your typical mobster. He wasn't his crazy brother and he wasn't anything like his father. He had to reluctantly join the "family" and he wasn't very happy about it. In the second part he was just another Don. It wasn't as compelling.
