Speaking of Italians, I watched “the Godfather” on the plane last week. I never had before (it came out when I was 3 years old).
Funny how much of the dialog and situations were so completely familiar because of their iconic status. After seeing a million parodies and homages, it was interesting to imagine seeing it all for the first time.
Also, the new Star Trek was pretty good.
My husband was visiting his Sicilian grandmother in NYC when this movie showed on TV for the first time. Naturally it captured a lot of attention in Italian-American homes.
After the movie was over, he asked his grandmother, "Nana, it wasn't really that bad, was it?"
"It was WORSE!" she responded.
