Horsehead found in Larry Probst's bed

Godfather 1 & 2 (taken as one body of word) are the perfect American movie. They are everything a movie should be, and nothing they shouldn't be.

In comparison (not outright) the Godfather 3 was complete trash. If you liked it, fine, if you thought it compared in any way to the first two, or even deserved the Godfather name, you are a fucking idiot. People booed at the screen when it came out in the theatres and threw their food before asking for their money back, until Sofia Coppola died in the end and they actually cheered. THEY CHEERED, AT THE PREMEIRE! Sofia Coppola's awful acting, Andy Garcia's lame character, the twin bodyguards, shooting people with a helicopter, it was a god-damn parody of the Godfather movies and no fan of the series thinks it is any good.

The fact that people watch it makes me sick to my stomach.

Yeah, that was overboard, it wasn't terrible, but it was the Episode 1 to the Godfather's Episode 4-6. The series was complete and perfect, and they went and ruined it.

Again, alone as a movie it has a pretty good story and some horrible acting.

Yet more proof that videogames are not art.

If this is a Mafia clone that's a disgrace as well.

On a side note I just finished Mafia recently, and as far a video game's are concerned, I thought it had one of the best stories I'd ever seen. The only thing I would change is having your last Mission end by going to the Diner to meet with the cop.

Or proof that video games are art that feature people killing each other pretty often?

If abstract paintings are art, videogames are art.

Videogames that have no purpose but to merely entertain are not art. This is why Price is Right is not art and Godfather is.

Art conveys something of substance about the human condition. Abstract art (some of it, anyway), despite what the philistines say, is art precisely for this reason.

A game is not art. Interactive stories, which is what videogames could become, can certainly be art. We've some games that get close to being art but the form, taken as a whole, does not rise to the standard of art. Yet.

Can we not have this discussion here? Art is defined on a personal level, it is like defining the meaning of life.

Not really. Just because you don't think The Adoration of the Magi is art doesn't mean it's not art. It's not really defined on a personal level.

The Meach is 100% right on this one. Including the "Yet" part.
