Coda the death of michael corleone1/30/2024 (The original running time was 162 minutes it’s now 157 minutes.) The only ones I noticed were, frankly, moments I wish were still there: those involving the character of Don Altobello (Eli Wallach), the ancient Mafioso who’s the godfather of Connie Corleone (Talia Shire), a warm family connection that only masks his treachery. Once that happens, the movie proceeds along in exactly the same way it did before, except that Coppola has made about five minutes’ worth of trims. Taking that scene, which previously came about half an hour in, and moving it to the front gives the film a kick-start, and it clarifies the underworld-meets-Catholic-Church corporate-business plot that didn’t actually need clarifying. ![]() The film now begins with the let’s-make-a-deal negotiation between Michael and Archbishop Gilday (Donal Donnelly), the weasel who heads the Vatican Bank, in which Michael agrees to pay the Vatican $600 million in exchange for the right to become the controlling shareholder of Immobiliare, an international real-estate consortium. The one impactful change is the new opening scene. How is “Mario Puzo’s The Godfather, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone”? (God, I just love saying that title.) Here’s the news and the ever-so-slight scandal: It’s the same damn movie. What happened is that she showed up and gave a technically unpolished, emotionally alive performance, and for that crime she was bashed like a Kardashian on Twitter. It always struck me that what was being attacked, at the time, was the nepotism of the casting: the fact that Coppola was born to Hollywood royalty and had landed in this movie. The dangerous romantic spark between Mary and Andy Garcia’s hotheaded Vincent is one of the most potent things in the movie, and the flow of feeling between Sofia Coppola and Pacino felt deep and true. The movie was saying that this - a girl who was clearly a product of the media age - is what a mobster’s daughter might look like. It was obvious that she wasn’t a trained actress, yet her ripe sensuality and slightly dazed ordinary-girl inflections had a vividness that came across as authentic. One of the criticisms at the time I passionately disagreed with was the collective attack on Sofia Coppola’s performance. It’s a movie that can sweep you up if you let it. That said, “The Godfather Part III” gathers force as it goes along. Yet the fact that he walks around looking like the Godfather of Beverly Hills is a trivial but revealing indication that Coppola had misplaced his former mastery of detail. In “Godfather III,” we have to buy that Michael, in the years leading up to 1979, has undergone a change - that in his cold dark staring way he has softened and is looking for redemption. But Michael Corleone? At the age of 50, he would never have abandoned his old-school Italian coif, the hair oiled straight back (just like his father’s), which gave him the look of a mobster cobra. I can certainly imagine that Al Pacino, in the early ’90s, might have shown up on the red carpet sporting a thatchy salt-and-pepper bristle cut. I’m talking about Michael Corleone’s hair. And why would Michael, now bent on respectability, object to his son becoming an opera singer?) What’s more, there’s a detail in the movie that’s so wrong it jars me in almost every scene. (Joe Mantegna’s Joey Zasa first seems a minor-league mobster, then he’s a showboating celebrity kingpin. The storytelling, at times, is slipshod and arbitrary. ![]() ![]() Thirty years after its release, the flaws of “The Godfather Part III” are just as pronounced. I think that’s a tad overstated, but I stand by it.

Bijou cocktail recipe1/30/2024 ![]() ![]() Strain into a chilled glass and garnish with an lemon twist (preferred). Ladies and gentlemen, I present the Bijou cocktail…Ĭombine ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake to chill. The herbaceous quality of the Chartreuse actually finds a nice foil in the sweet, figgy Vermouth, while the Gin lends a clean, refreshing bite on the aftertaste. On the palate the three components come together nicely to make for a refreshing and balanced cocktail. An original-style Bijou is made stirred with ice as noted by Harry, but I really prefer my cocktails shaken with crushed ice, so that is my preferred method. The cocktail is presumably called Bijou because it combines the colors of three jewels: Gin for diamond, Vermouth for ruby, and Chartreuse for emerald. Actually, the Bijou stands out as one of the oldest recipes in his book, itself dating to 1890. In French, the term “bijou” means “jewel.” The cocktail is said to have been invented by Harry Johnson, one of the forefathers of the classic cocktail and one of the earliest documenters of the craft in his 1900 tome: New and Improved Bartender Manual. Mind you that doesn’t stop me from searching… remember, great rewards are given unto that brave knight who quests for the Grail!Įnter the Bijou cocktail, a mix of Gin, Vermouth, and Chartreuse. I have yet to find a cocktail containing Chartreuse that I truly love. Finding the correct mix of ingredients to blend and balance with the heady mix already present in Chartreuse is akin to the quest for the Holy Grail. The challenge with Chartreuse is the 130 herbs, plants and flowers. Stir for 30 seconds, then strain into a chilled coupe or Nick and Nora glass. It is composed of distilled alcohol aged with 130 herbs, plants and flowers, and has a strong, herbaceous quality, as well as a healthy percent alcohol. Fill a mixing glass or a cocktail shaker with ice, and add the gin, vermouth, Chartreuse and bitters. The monks have been making Chartreuse since 1737 according to a recipe given to them in 1605 by François Annibal d’Estrées. I struggle with Chartreuse, the French herbal liqueur, made by Carthusian monks at their monastery in the Chartreuse mountains near Grenoble.

Ff 14 main sorty1/30/2024 ![]() Such devastation (it was, in fact, their intention). It will be broken up into three separate instances - a four-player dungeon, a four-player trial, and a solo fight. Of all the duties being changed in A Realm Reborn, The Praetorium is getting the biggest overhaul. The Praetorium Broken into Three Separate Instances Below, you can see the full list of the content getting the Duty Support system with Patch 6.1. Above, you can see what the Duty Support system looks like in-game. Subsequent patches will gradually roll out the system for the rest of FFXIV, including Heavensward and Stormblood. ![]() Patch 6.1 will cover all four-player instances in the A Realm Reborn 2.0 MSQ. NPCs will be chosen automatically depending on your character’s role. Yoshida-san mentioned it was hard to include the Scions for story purposes, but the team did consider which NPCs players would want to see most. You’ll be mostly taking generic NPCs into these instances. It’s very much the same, giving you AI-controlled party members to run dungeons with instead of real players to support a solo experience. The existing Trust system will apply to the character avatars you level up from Shadowbringers and on. It’s called the Duty Support system and is specifically for running instances for story purposes. This will be a separate version of the system under a new name. Duty Support SystemĪs previously revealed, all older main story content in FFXIV will be retrofitted with the Trust system. We’ll summarize everything in detail here. And consequently, the Main Scenario Duty Roulette will change as well. This latest Live Letter dug much deeper into that, showing us how the new Duty Support system works and how MSQ dungeons are being revamped. In February’s Live Letter, director and producer Naoki Yoshida detailed how Final Fantasy XIV is getting significant changes to the base game A Realm Reborn.
