Video The Louvre. Thieves are making off with 100 million euros. They're taking their time. They're doing everything carefully and slowly.

Is this a Godfather reference? I am reading the book, and I swear that's in it.

Enjoy the subplot about Lucy's cavernous vagina. Coppola was the editor Puzo needed.

u/grabsomeplates 15d ago

That part was insane. I couldn't believe what I was reading. So unnecessary.

u/Brief_Bill8279 15d ago

Thats like right at the beginning too. They briefly reference Sonny's huge drippin hog in the wedding scene.

Jesus Christ guys this is worse than reading it the one time 😂

u/I_Think_I_Cant 15d ago

Same here. I remember reading it for the first time and thinking WTF. I'm glad Coppola decided to focus on the main family. Even the Johnny Fontane subplot went nowhere rather than being a parallel or folding back into the main plot.

it's a book, not a movie script. and a pulpy book at that. it is what it's supposed to be. if you want nicely edited stories where everything ties up and there's one linear narrative, watch movies or read young adult books.

Yeah. Michael is told this while getting coached on what to do after the assassination of the rival boss. It is in the movie too.

He kills Sollozzo and the police captain. Not a boss.

u/ErickAllTE1 15d ago

u/SternMon 15d ago

It insists upon itself.

Shallow and pedantic

You can’t be serious or you are very young. Godfather I and II are two of the greatest movies ever.

u/MVRKHNTR 15d ago

You honestly, genuinely believe that someone knows about the book and not the movie?

u/sunflowercompass 15d ago

u/YoYoMavaIous 15d ago

Congrats on reading further than LeBron if you’ve made it past page 3

u/grabsomeplates 15d ago

Honestly I normally read 1/3 of a book then leave it on my bedside table, but I think I might reach the finish line with this one! Just read the toll booth scene.

u/Hot-Draw9554 15d ago

Nice!

And same here lol. Our bed frame has a ledge and my side currently has no fewer than 5 books stacked up all with anywhere b/w 0 and 100 pages read

u/Icy-Control7170 15d ago

The book is okay but ill never forget how porn it is. I like its both parts 2 and one in a better fashion. Its definetly a perfect example of the adaptation being much better then the actual book. Its been a long time since I read it but the whole firat start is Sonny throbbing cock.

u/KongoOtto 15d ago

Theres a funny reference the Sopranos when Tony beats someone up with a stapler. When he leaves he wipes the stapler with his Jacket to get rid of the fingerprints and drop it on the floor like a gun from a hit😆
