Film

I watched the Godfather movies this weekend. I don't agree with the view that final film is poor compared to the first two. I thought it was just as good.

Are ya serious?

Never actually watched the 3rd one so must remedy that. Love the first 2.

Dont bother. You'll be better off. Christ I hated it. First two are perfection though.

I mean, to put The Sopranos bit in context at the very least, it's worth a watch

I watched the first episode in Cabinet of Curiosities and thought it was utter shite. It's it worth going back and watching more?

[Pentagrimes]

Not especially besides the Panos Cosmatos one..but I didn't watch the ones based on Lovecraft yet

I recently watched all 3. The 3rd is enjoyable for the most part, but the first two are classics. Coppola shouldn't have cast his daughter in the 3rd one as she can't act very well. Makes some scenes hard to watch I find

Watched Halloween H20 last night. Such a bad film. Michael Myres is like comic relief in it. I love the new ones though

The reason for Sophia Coppola being cast was that Winona Ryder backed out at the last minute after being ditched at the altar. Francis Coppola had to scramble to find someone within 48 hours or lose Paramount Pictures' backing.

You are right though - she's brutal. I read an interview that she did years later around the time of "Lost In Translation" regarding the whole thing and she was (apparently) at odds with her old man during the entire shoot because she wasn't one bit comfortable with taking on the role.

"Godfather III" has some massive problems - not least replacing Robert Duvall with George Hamilton - I mean for fuck sake. Also

Spoiler

the scene at the opera on the stairs is more Marx Brothers than Corleone Family

. It's not terrible overall, there are some decent pieces posted in and around the mess. Still better than a lot of films being made today.

Has anyone seen the newest cut of it? The 2020 version?

Watched the new Halloween last night. Good fun but obviously for what it is.

All Quiet on the Western Front the other day. Really enjoyed it. Might watch it again though because I had the dubbed version on while the kids were knocking about and I usually prefer subs.

Lastly watched The Asylum with Peter Cushing and Britt Ekland which is a sort of Vault of Horror type thing. Was grand as well

Is that a new cut of the Original one, or Godfather 3?

[Carnage]

New edit of Part III, called The Godfather Coda (with a subtitle that's a spoiler, kinda). Interested in that myself, though not optimistic, I didn't think much of the original version.

[astfgyl]

Haven't seen any of The Godfather movies. I keep meaning to get on it

[warhead]

Have just returned from the movies, seeing Halloween Ends. It was much better than I've expected, it is probably something like 6/10. I wasn't able to watch the couple of last ones past 20-30 minutes. It was good family fun.
