The Godfather
This is madness.I'm with you all the way Chuck!
The Godfather
Too easy to even have to think about it.
I am quickly losing faith in the HTF!What's the problem? I think just about everybody agrees that The Godfather is a brilliant film. Anyone who doesn't think so has misfiring cinema synapses. I've seen it several dozen times myself and love it. But there's nothing wrong with more often being in the mood to watch a great comedy. Lebowski isn't my favorite Coen comedy, but it looks like I'm not going to be able to vote for those, so I'll throw my vote their way for this one.
The Big Lebowski
What's the problem?"The problem" is that I don't understand why so many people would want to watch a comedy like The Big Lebowski over, what you yourself admit, is a "brilliant film". And the fact that Lebowski isn't even your favorite Coen comedy, yet you still vote for it over the brilliant Godfather, simply doesn't make sense to me.
I would rather watch brilliant cinema than a "good" comedy at least 90% of the time.
I also consider myself a very big fan of the Coen Bros. But prefer The Big Lebowski to The Godfather? Nope. Not by a long shot!
I am quickly losing faith in the HTF!Alright fellow members, we have to do something here. Our pal Rob is losing faith. What can we do? First, I thought maybe we should all go back and change our votes. Then I realized that wouldn't be right. We have to smooth him over in another way. We could all go in together and get him a nice box of race-car shaped chocolates. No, then he might think we were coming on to him. So out with the flowers too. Maybe we could all change our sigs to something from Lawrence of Arabia. No that would suck. It's like my dear old grandpappy used to say, "You can have Lawrence some of the time for some of the people, you can have Lawrence all of the time for some of the people, but you can't have all Lawrence all of the time for all of the people." Or something like that. Maybe that was pornography he was talking about. Oh well, you get the picture. So what to do? Send him emails saying we really love Godfather, but the evil Coen Imp came and said if we didn't vote Lebowski he would burn our women and rape our fields? We could all sew sweaters out of our Lawrence slip covers. I don't know. I'm at a loss. All I know is that if Rob loses faith, well then.... uh.....um......ahh....let me see..... something is not good. Or something.
