A Note From My Boyfriend's Favorite Self-Help Movie, The Godfather
Part III, by Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola, a line spoken by Al Pacino as Michael Corleone:
"Never hate your enemies. It affects your judgment."
(Gregg's of the mind that most of life's problems can be solved with the wisdom from The Godfather, Mean Streets, and a couple other movies in that neighborhood.)
Indeed. I've found most of life's problems can be solved by making people offers they can't refuse.

Movies like Airplane, Monty Python and the Holy Grail or Spaceballs?

Ah, just leave a horse's head in their bed. They'll get the message.

There's no problem that can't be solved with swift and blinding violence.
If you are invited to go fishing, look around for a Fredo. If you don't see a Fredo, you're the Fredo.
If your dinner companion in an Italian restaurant gets up to "go take a pistol," leave the cannoli.
Always have someone else start your car for you.
Avoid toll booths.

Dude, Don't worry about that... Avoid the third sequel. Let's not kid ourselves; Sonny got off easy.
My sentiment line is applicable in all industries, and it's pulled me out of many of a slump.
That's right... I work in television.
It used to be very popular.

I always hated the popularity of the "offer" line... It's beloved by people who can't distinguish their second encounter with sarcasm from wisdom.

OK, I meant the second sequel.
You knew that. You knew what I meant. Sofia… George Hamilton… Punishing boredom…
