Paul Rudnick: "This is:
- If you remade #TheGodfather with Pope Francis and actual criminals'.
- The ultimate 'One of these things is not like the others.'
- When Pope Francis asked God for the day off.
- Right after Melania asked, 'So do you own the Vatican? Is there a Mrs. Pope'?"
Don't get me wrong, I like 'The Godfather', 'Goodfellas', and 'The Untouchables'. Just don't want them to feature so heavily in the daily news headlines.

1) The gym was mostly empty when I went in. This is lovely. In my neighborhood the kids (anyone under 40) like to sit on the equipment and browse their phones while sometimes doing work. An empty gym is glorious.
2) Gallery visit with my spouse and an old friend. Really nice work!
3) 15-yo asked if we could watch #TheGodfather as a family this evening. Surprised that’s what she wanted, but sure! Classic for a reason.
Ides of March going particularly well here.
Going on Julius' experience in the forum I think we can rule out "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer" as a reliable winning strategy.
Donald Trump or Don Corleone? Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference:

@heidilifeldman finally watched #TheGodfather marathon. Timely programming. #robertDuvall was particularly instructive and compelling.
THE GODFATHER: THE COMPLETE NOVEL FOR TELEVISION debuted on NBC this week in 1977.
The chronological recut of GODFATHER I and II aired over 4 nights — with more than an hour of previously unseen footage.
The beginning of “#TheGodfather Part 2“ shows a young Don Corleone being offended by the local #Mafia boss Don Fanucci demanding $200 of ‘protection money’ from him.
In the #2024election #DonTrump is literally telling #American women that they must give him their vote 
so he can be their “protector”. https://www.forbes.com/sites/siladityaray/2024/10/31/trump-dismisses-advisors-and-repeats-protect-women-line-says-hell-do-it-whether-the-women-like-it-or-not/

Toot para recordar que tal día como hoy nació Mario Puzo, autor y coguionista de El Padrino. «También sé por experiencia, Michael, que no se puede elegir la familia en la que naces».
A toot to remember Mario Puzo’s birthday, the author and co-screenwriter of The Godfather. "I also know from experience, Michael, that you cannot choose the family you are born into".

After exploding #pagers and #walkieTalkies, #Lebanon is on edge over #phones: 'We don’t know if our phones are safe'
In Lebanon, no electronic equipment is now considered safe. "Everyone is just panicking… We don’t know if we can stay next to our laptops, our phones. Everything seems like a danger at this point, and no one knows what to do,” one said.
This is like the "bloody horse head on the bed" scene from #TheGodfather, but on all beds.
>> how in the hell…??
Apparently by compromising the Supply Chain.
It is so important to buy stuff from secure trusted sources, and apparently that's where #Hezbollah failed.
This is so diabolical that it brings the "bloody horse head on the bed" scene from #TheGodfather.
Even if the injuries are not fatal, they must rattle Hezbollah members to the core for sure. If Israel can get inside pagers, what else can it get inside? What else is compromised? How to communicate?
A weekend with the Corleone family. Two new episodes of Yelling About Movies drop this Friday. #YabtM #reviews #YouTube #movies #film #cinema #FilmMastodon #CineMastodon #Coppola #TheGodfather

One of the most famous behind the scenes shots from THE GODFATHER (1972), Robert Duvall holding up Marlon Brando's lines, mid-scene.
@rsmon77 you’ll shoot someone else’s eye out!
