[The G Man]

What you really want to do is rent the Godfather epic. Godfather II is interspersed with flashbacks detailing Vito Corleone's rise to power (played by Robert Deniro). The Godfather epic takes those parts out and puts them ahead of Godfather I so the entire thing runs in chronological order.

Good luck. And may your first child, be a masculine child.

I could not believe how young everybody was. I didn't even recognize Al Pacino! I got kind of lost in G2, too many mobsters. Theres a scene where one of Al Pacino's allies is strangled in a bar, why did that happen and did he survive? The camera flashed to him after the cop interrupted and he looked like he made it. I went to bed right after that scene, just couldn't keep my eyes open. My husband said I'd regret going to sleep. I wish I would have stayed up for the rest.

"Seriously, Hollywood is not run by Jews. It's run by atheists, many of whom happen to be of Jewish ancestry, but who are atheists precisely because they have abandonned their religion (tautological, no?)."

A pox on all of Hollywood, Jews or otherwise. They started out during the Golden Era just sleeping with each other. For the past forrty years they have been screwing America. Look back through the old movies up to the present and you will see that America has been adopting the morals of Hollywood at just about the rate of ten years after. Hollywood sets the trend for a new depravity and voila, ten years later we're all doing it.

There were some exceptions who tried to set a good example. But for the most part they were selfish, mindless hedonists.

I agree, the epic is the best way to experience The Godfather.

I'm drawing a blank here, is there a chronological version with 1, 2 and 3 yet or is it still just 1 and 2?
