[QUOTE="Tarrasque Wrangler, post: 1781402, member: 7473"] BEGIN HIJACK. I watch a lot of movies. Probably more than is healthy. I bought a gigantic TV to watch them on at home. Hell, watching movies (and writing about them) was even my profession for a little while(Note: This is not to make me sound smarter-than-thou, just to say that I'm not some Outer Mongolian goat herder who's never seen a moving picture). And in all the thousands and thousands of hours of films I have watched, only The Godfather rates a 10. Perfect film, beginning to end. Some of the greatest actors of their generations at the top of their game (and Brando's best performance ever), a director who was never better, gorgeous cinematography (watch those scenes in Sicily - mafia bombers or not, you'll still wanna go), a beautifully evocative score and theme, and a script that retained all the potboiler-y goodness of the novel and injected it with epic scope. If I were stranded on a desert island with only a TV, a DVD player, a generator and an endless supply of popcorn (this is a really weirdo island, way weirder than that one in "Lost"), my one movie of choice would be Godfather. That said, feel free to disagree. END HIJACK To not thoroughly disrupt the Shaun lovefest, I have one question. Why did Shaun get upset when people called them "zombies"? I mean, apart from "it's ridiculous!" At first I thought it was just denial, but even when they're in the Winchester and he knows what they are, he still says that at one point. Is this a zombie movie in-joke that I missed? Speaking of zombie movie in-jokes, I busted a gut when Ed yells into the phone "We're coming to get you, Barbara!" I had to explain that one to my girlfriend afterwards. [/QUOTE]
