We talked about this a little bit in the "Legitimate" thread. Ever since then it has been really bugging me. What is the deal with passing the jewels around on the plate at the commission meeting in GFIII? It is so corny and doesn't seem to fit. Why would FFC put that in the scene?

There are things that have to be done and you do them and you never talk about them. You don`t try to justify them, they can`t be justified. You just do them. Then you forget it.

The avarice of these people knows no bounds. They pass them around like they were candy.

Old age caught up and overtook FFC's genius. That movie was full of such corny stuff

It was a coming-out party for Michael. They wanted to play dress up and have a drag show.

I think the whole movie is 'corny', but most of the 'stuff' is probably pretty accurate. I don't believe that FFC put much inadvertant material in these 2&1/2 GF movies.

Passing of the jewels definetly sounds like something from the old Roman days. These guys absolutely worship relics and the old ways of life.

'and we was like the Roman Empire...'
