thebookpileTo continue our Classics Initiative, I went to the video store on Friday night to rent The Godfather Part 2. I saw Part 3 sitting beside it and decided to pick it up at the same time - they're only due on the following Saturday, so we could watch it next Friday night. When I got to the cash, the clerk told me that I could pick another 1-week-rental for only $1 more.
So I picked up The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. It was a sneaky way to successfully end my campaign but I have no regrets. You do what you gotta do.
We watched The Godfather Part 2 on Friday night. I liked it but not as much as the first one. I did find it fascinating to see Robert DeNiro that young, though, and I was very much convinced that he was a younger version of Marlon Brando's Vito Corleone.
We watched The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly last night and I quite liked it. The Missus...well, The Missus hated it. She found it too slow (it takes 10 minutes for the first line of dialogue to be uttered). I, however, kind of enjoyed those long, silent moments when they managed to add a bit of tension. The Mexican standoff at the end is a good example, and was absolutely classic.
