Godfather "I Didn't Know That"s: Part I

I watched The Godfather films with the director’s commentary while exercising.  Since almost everyone I mention DVD commentaries to says, “I’ve never listened to them,” I present these lists of entertaining stuff I didn't know as a public service. 

I’ve confirmed most of the list in other books and websites.  There may still be errors, but that serves as a lesson to listen to them yourself next time.  

Jaws Through a Kid's Eyes

One night, my Whovian wife and I planned to sample the Russell T Davies/David Tennant Casanova miniseries on Netflix. 

Due to the whimsical and ever changing nature of Netflix availability, we suddenly found the need to make another choice.

Operation “Giant Nostalgia”

When the Basement Finishes You

The unhappy diagnosis of one of our annual boiler cleanings was that its efficiency was at levels that get entire departments fired, meaning we needed to replace it.  

 "No problem!" we thought, “We have American Home Shield for just such things, and they'll get us a new one now.”

Operation “Excessive Travel”

Taylor Sith?

Now that Disney owns Star Wars, they have announced Episodes VII-IX and a myriad of expanded universe movies.  All that’s missing from these announcements is a new Disnified home release of the original films.

Disney loves to throw music videos on their discs, featuring popular current performers on Radio Disney singing songs from, or homages to, the film in question.

Therefore, I would like to submit this little diddy, to the tune of Taylor Swift’s “We are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” for the home release of The Empire Strikes Back: Super Duper Special Edition. It is a musical celebration of Luke’s big “NO!” right after,

“No… I am your father.”

Which USED to be the greatest reveal in cinema history, before the prequels spoiled it by revealing Vader’s entire back story. (Not that I’m still bitter or anything.)

Feel free to blame my daughter for getting yet another girly song stuck in my head, forcing me to release this on an unsuspecting public.  This one's for you, kiddo!
