Much better than any of his kids got. Sonny got a 100 bullets, Fredo one from someone hired by his brother and Michael died alone with nothing.

Every time I see this scene I think of when I watched the movie with a younger cousin. She was 13 or so and said "The kid is poisoning the old man with pesticides!" Entering the family business at 3. ha.

I thought Michael died on the steps of the opera house with his daughter cradling his head in her lap? Meh, whatever. Godfather 3 sucked anyway.

No there was one more scene after that. Took place 10 years or so later. Its him sitting alone in a wheel chair. Then something happens, probably a heart attack, he falls to the ground and dies. He probably would have preferred to have died on those steps. It was the daughter who was shot and died on the steps.

I really wish they hadnt gotten Sofia Coppola to play the daughter. Thats the biggest complaint I (and many others) have about the movie. A good actress would have made it a lot better. Instead I wound up cringing every time she spoke. Her death scene was the only one where I actually felt anything for the character. Its not really her fault though. From what Ive read she didnt want to do it and had no interest in acting but her father talked her into it. Interesting piece of trivia - she also plays the baby who was baptized in the fist movie while Michael has his people taking care of business for him.

Ah, yes. Okay you're right. I'd gotten them mixed up in my mind. I think I only sat through it once, maybe twice.

I wish they hadn't gotten her either, she was horrible in it! But she's become a fantastic director though.

I have seen it but many, many years ago. I can't recall most of it to be honest.

So, the only "proof" we have of multiple mistakes on my part is your faulty memory.

I don't think that would stand up in court. So I'm calling one and done. :D

:)

Lol.

No way did I say multiple, ya think I am that stupid, no way. Boss -It was phrased as a polite and subservient question.

That it was, that it was.

Look, if I published all the mistakes I've ever made in a book, it would make War and Peace seem like light reading. ;)

I ain't perfect. But I am fun. And I'd rather be the latter than the former anyway.

For one of such tender years, mistakes are part of life.
Is that enuff sucking up or do I need to do more jumps thru the hoops?
Being old I am not as limber as I used to be.
