WrestlinFan 02/26/23 11:16:20 AM #1:	Overall, I loved it. There's a few things like the ~~vagina~~ subplot that are dumb and go nowhere. But other than a few bouts of filler like that, the added details of the minor characters are fascinating. And I've only recently watched the movie for the first time, and the book pairs so well with it. I'm very glad to have seen the movie first, because those portrayals were so strong, that I feel like they enhanced the books. --- Trying to burn the bridges to a culture that taught us to hate and fear and live like cogs in a machine and not like lovers, friends, and kin. <cite>WrestlinFan posted [p:971816719] in Finally fi...

I guess the only thing missing is the music. --- "Whatever the reason you're on Mars, I'm glad you're there, and I wish I was with you." ~Carl Sagan.

DrizztLink 02/26/23 11:55:50 AM #3:	My favorite bit of trivia about the movie is that scene at the beginning with Luca Brasi being super nervous to deliver his good tidings to Vito. The actor in question was supposed to just deliver the line normally, but he was that nervous to be acting in front of Brando. Like, Lenny Montana almost definitely was breaking legs for the actual mob at the time but this was massively intimidating to him. --- http://guidesmedia.ign.com/guides/9846/images/slowpoke.gif https://i.imgur.com/M8h2ATe.png https://i.imgur.com/6ezFwG1.png <cite>DrizztLink posted [p:971817422] in Finally fi...

FortuneCookie 02/26/23 12:02:18 PM #5:	Yeah. That's why we get the scene of him flubbing his lines as he's rehearsing them. It was forced method-acting. Brando supposedly intentionally riled the guy up too. <cite>FortuneCookie posted [p:971817543] in Finally fi... [t:80361379]...</cite> <quote>Yeah.
