I liked this movie better when it was a show on HBO called Penguin.

So all the men will be bumbling idiots and the mom and Connie will be the ones directing the whole enterprise. I can’t wait to not buy my tickets.

And she will 100% have a wise black female best friend

Trigiani, a million-selling author who wrote of her own Italian roots in the novel “The Shoemaker’s Wife,” is also known for such favorites as “Lucia, Lucia” and “The Queen of the Big Time.” According to Random House, the Puzo estate “sought out” Trigiani after she published a Substack essay lamenting how little was known about the Corleone women.

“We had been looking for someone to retell the story from a new perspective,” Anthony Puzo, the author’s son and executor, said in a statement. “Adriana was knocked out when I told her that the character of Vito Corleone (played in the films by Brando and De Niro) was actually based on my grandmother. We talked about how the women ran both of our families, but behind the scenes. Adriana’s vision for Connie’s life blew us all away. I’m very pleased and excited to have her on board.”

Jay Are is lighting up his cigaratte and sighing deeply somewhere as he prepares to go once more into the breach

ok i just looked it up, and it was some other fourth Dixie Chick who left the band before they got big, and yeah her husband won it

Hard to believe that she was once good looking.

it's between her and Ashley Judd for who is the poster child for rapid decline in looks once they made their hard left political turn

Natalie Maines was cute in the 90s, but i was always a much bigger fan of Emily. here's Charlie singing about his divorce from THAT crazy chick

You must be absolutely worn out having to constantly mount the ramparts to defend the unending stream of Hollywood retardery.

every time the latest Hollywood nonsense like this comes out and someone shares it on the board, i picture Jay Are as the Ben Affleck smoking meme, wearily preparing to pick up his shield and sword once again to defend his lady love.

Watchmen is one of my favorite superhero films of all time, and the trailer was even better IMHO. Jesus, seeing those panels from the comic beautifully brought to life, fricking amazing.

---

painfully underrated. i think the main problem is that people who were unfamliar with the source material came into it expecting something different. this was during the Tobey Maguire Spiderman and the Hugh Jackman Wolverine / X-Men era, and i guess peopel expected that, instead of a more cerebral, dark look at the genre.

it's so fricking good though.

I was fairly shocked at how low rent the people were. Lower than a trailer park. No one is going to college, open drug use on social media by a minor, a minor living with a 20 year old instead of her parents, parents who are okay with their kids being complete losers. Hopefully this show is just reflective of Strongsville, OH and not the nation at large.

there's something about that post high school couple of years for kids that dont have a plan that is just so depressing to me. we all knew people like that. they didnt go to college, but didnt really have a plan to go to work either, and they just sort of floated in that no-man's land of realizing that the glory years of 11th and 12th grade were over and never coming back. happened to my little brother. lots of drinking, drugs, and pretending like you're still in HS while the real world is looming over you like Mordor.

anyways, that's neither here nor there. i was just reflecting on that while watching the show.

She was a random middle manager that just got picked.

my guess is that she rejected him and he had some sort of mental break over it that resulted in this

I don't think you understand what "full time" means
