As for the watching of the movie...same here. I did have it on for lengths of time and tried have it on for sone of my favorite scenes (managed to catch the Michael/Fredo lakehouse scene twice)...but not quite as riveted as in the past and I did change the channel not only during commercials but at certain parts of the film as well.

Not sure I would say I am over an addiction, but there's definitely a familiarity factor that means you dont' have to watch it EVERY time it's on.

Also...I like it better when they alternate GF with GFII. Not one one day and then the other the next as was the case this weekend.


A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
