Film Liveblogging The Godfather & The Godfather Part 2

Posted by Paul Constant on Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 3:06 PM

Tune in to Slog tomorrow from noon until the evening. I will be liveblogging The Godfather and The Godfather Part II from the projection booth at SIFF Cinema.

Obviously, it cannot possibly be as good and entertaining as Charles Mudede on the 7-hour film version of War and Peace, but I hope you will stop by and visit. We will be up to our necks in Puzo. See you at noon.

"We will be up to our necks in Puzo."

Should someone call a plumber?

I used to love the first two Godfather films, but between A&E and AMC, you would think no other movies were made. They are on TV all the time. Still, your thing sounds fun. Sorry I'm going to miss it.

holy crap that is a brilliant idea.

Spoiler alert! Sonny gets ambushed on the causeway.

what, no Godfather III?

LAME! LAME AGAIN!

Meanwhile...
I'll be liveblogging the giant shit I'll be taking after my Christmas meal. Ooooo Can't wait!

Didn't I see those films in town, oh not so long ago on the largest screen I could ever imagine? They played the Cinerama very very recently. Even the mighty SIFF screen couldn't beat that experience.

The Godfather, Part III doesn't exist. Actually, let's just pretend that the last movie he made was Apocalypse Now.

Two of the most overrated movies of the 1970's.

Oh look at that juxtaposition they are baptizing the baby while people get shot. Yawn.

Posted by Heather on December 19, 2008 at 4:23 PM

Spoiler alert! "It was Barzini."

Posted by Cookie W. Monster on December 19, 2008 at 4:25 PM

Wow. It looks like gay Star Trek porn. Where was this when I was 13?

Posted by another Andy on December 19, 2008 at 4:28 PM

Oops... Wrong post.

Posted by another Andy on December 19, 2008 at 4:29 PM

Mudede's liveslog of War and Peace was epic. The last hour was particularly choice.

Posted by klimpo on December 19, 2008 at 4:32 PM

@15: But, really, it's kind of just the right comment for the wrong post.

Posted by Paul Constant on December 19, 2008 at 4:33 PM

Spoiler alert! Michael Corleone gets caught in Havana the night the Castro Revolution begins.

Posted by Cookie W. Monster on December 19, 2008 at 4:37 PM

shut and stop spoiling things, jubilation. you're not foolin' anybody.

i wouldn't care what the movie was, being in a projection booth with paul constant sounds very sexy.

Posted by scary tyler moore on December 19, 2008 at 4:48 PM

Keep an eye out for that young hottie DeNiro. I hear he's going places.

Posted by Jessica on December 19, 2008 at 4:54 PM

Spoiler alert! Michael Corleone has his own brother killed.

Posted by Cookie W. Monster on December 19, 2008 at 5:10 PM

Doesn't Brando look like he's playing air guitar?

Posted by Sarah on December 19, 2008 at 5:15 PM

Spoiler alert! Some self absorbed Stranger contributor thinks we give a shit about his liveblogging the Godfather movies!

Posted by Franklin Weiner on December 19, 2008 at 5:32 PM

Paul,

Please ignore @23 -- hater. We love you, and Francis Ford Coppola, too.

Posted by Cookie W. Monster on December 19, 2008 at 5:42 PM

Oh, puhleeze: everybody KNOWS GF: III is the most deserving of being MST3K'ed on a Live SLOG...

Posted by COMTE on December 19, 2008 at 8:27 PM

Live-blogging the Godfathers is tantamount to blogging Will of Seattle sniffing his fingers. Is there nothing so sacred that would prevent you from loudly blowing your nose or farting or belching during its showing? Do not further subtract from the sum of human intelligence by entitling us to your opinion. We already have one - it is unlikely to change. Stay home, Lucky! With your whore's head.

Thanks for the reminder, Paul ...sounds like a fun gig in the projection booth.

I can't wait to see both Godfathers at SIFF, an incredible theater. Even though I have the new Godfather blu-ray set -- which is awesome -- *nothing* will rival seeing the stunning restored versions on the huge screen.

For anyone who hasn't been to SIFF Cinema but loves a great moviegoing experience, don't miss this one.
