The Annotated Godfather

If you love "The Godfather" like I love "The Godfather" you should run, not walk, to your nearest bookstore and check out The Annotated Godfather, which features the complete film script and pages and pages of super cool bonus features. Annotated is, of course, a favorite geek word in and of itself but paired with a favorite movie-it's almost too much goodness. I thought I knew a lot of "Godfather" trivia (yes, it was a real horse head) but even I found new fun facts in this book. For example, Mario Puzo was once confronted in a restaurant by Frank Sinatra, who was of course, partial inspiration for the character of Johnny Fontaine. Sinatra objected to the portrayal and John Wayne, who was sitting at a nearby table, offered to back Ol Blue Eyes in the fight. Can you imagine?

So if you find yourself talking about making people offers they can't refuse, this is the book for you.
