I just watched [movie x here]
Mister D Nomms:
Finally watched The Godfather. Two whole VHS's worth. It was better than I expected.
DrPhibes:
Yesterday I watched the documentary Waste Land. Good stuff!

He was just some idiot coke dealer and when he died I was happy that the movie was over. I love the soundtrack though. I am a sucker for Elizabeth Daily.

Hate to sound like a tragic hipster, but the 1932 original is a lot better (note: I had to watch this as part of studying Crime Fiction)
Also, I watched the Godfather the other day too! It is amazing. Wasn't my first time but the gun behind the toilet scene still has me on the edge of my seat.
Mister D Nomms:
Is the original also about Cuban drug dealers? Are there differences in story?
Lupercal:
The original is more focused on gun crime, prohibition, 30s grimaces. I found both pretty funny (I suppose unintentionally) but I just thought that the 30s Scarface had a lot more individuality about it, you were really rooting for Tony even though he is a bit of an idiot, but there seems something more authentic about it. Tony is a man-about-town as opposed to a Cuban refugee, and I guess the differences mainly lie in the differences in decade, really. I suppose I'm just not into modern gangster films that much (although I love the Godfather).
