I still maintian that Eli Wallach’s overacting was even worse that Sofia’s underacting. ---

> [@Otto](#): > > Didn’t Sophia Coppola do a good enough job spoiling it already? Ya know, I here this thoughtlet[sup]1[/sup] quite frequently, but, after having finally seen GF III, I didn’t think her acting was bad. GF III certainly wasn’t on the same level as the previous two films, but I think it was a worthy end to the series. Some of the scenes (Michael sobbing on the cardinal, his death, …) were quite memorable… [sup]1[/sup]I’ve heard some people say they don’t like “meme,” so I shall use this word instead. I’m also considering “sententiicula” as another alternative. ---

I blame Winona Ryder for getting sick before filming and Francis Coppolla panicking and casting his daughter into a part she had no business playing. ---

There’s this loudmouth, never-stop-talking chatterbox who goes by the name of Michael Corleone. The _real_ Michael could express death with a mere glance, not having to use words. _This_ guy runs around with a megaphone over his mouth, _and it never stops_. Sophia Coppola, too-twisted of a plot, no, the thing that killed Godfather 3 was Chatty Kathy, er, Michael. ---

> [@Metacom](#): > > Ya know, I here this thoughtlet[sup]1[/sup] quite frequently, but, after having finally seen GF III, I didn’t think her acting was bad. I agree, but only because to call it bad acting would imply that she attempted to act. Imagine a female HAL from _2001_ and you have her cadence (except not as passionate). ---
