IdiotMachine 10/25/19 5:03:14 PM #1:	I know it's supposed to be a classic, and it's like the #1 best movie on IMDB, but holy crap... it just seems so boring and a waste of time. What is up with Don Vito Corleone's acting? He's like phoning it in the whole time. And the shootouts are all so boring, with terrible sound effects, unrealistic squibs, and really overacted death acting. --- https://imgur.com/XNEdLrJ <cite>IdiotMachine posted [p:929235543] in Godfather ...

There are a lot of things that are difficult to understand. Why does this happen? Why did this character do that? How did they find out this character was a traitor?
