My Awesome Purchase: The Godfather Trivia Game

Graham — Fri, 21 May 2010 20:32:59 +0000

I had lunch with my older less handsome brother today and afterward we went to take a quick look around the Movie Gallery for some possibly cheap bin items. Well, look what we got here:

The Godfather Trivia Game – so irrelevant and strange that it would be in a bin (next to a Spock bobblehead) for the asking price of $4.99! That is mental. The sticker price on the back claimed $14.99, victory for me. Problem is, my brother later confessed never to have seen any of the Godfather films. One less Christmas card this year I guess.

What’s In The Box:
300 Godfather Trivia Cards – 900 questions broken down by movie.
1 Score Pad, 1 Pencil, Instructions
The Offer You Can’t Refuse:
Be the first player to assemble a “Family” of 10 people. Each correct answer earns you a new Family Member.
Putting a Hit on Someone:
At any point in the game, a player may use his or her turn to put a “Hit” on another player. NOTE: Both you, and the person you are putting a hit on must have at least one family member shaded in on your score cards to attempt a hit.
To Attempt A Hit:
On your turn, before the question reader grabs the next card to read, state that you are putting a hit on someone, and say who that is. If you are putting a hit on the person reading the card, another player must read the card for this round.

Scene Stealers #3

The Godfather: Part II (1974)

One of the best movies ever made has a scene stealer? No joke. The Godfather Part II is a history lesson in film making, everything on screen in amazing, I choose one particular moment. In this scene at a hotel room after a hearing, Kay (Diane Keaton) tries to leave Michael (Al Pacino) and take their children with her. Michael at first tries to mollify her, but, when she coldly reveals to him that her recent “miscarriage” was actually an abortion to avoid bringing another son into Michael’s criminal family, Michael explodes in anger and punches her in the face. I think my favorite part is when she goes on about”this Sicilian thing” and you can literally see Michael sink, defeated. Then of course he comes back with a right of his own. See it below.
