That entire “infant baptism” scene in The Godfather would have been very strange if the Corleones were Baptists in a revival meeting listening to some evangelist.

Any guesses as to who’d be next to get whacked?

That is just so surreal and just so WRONG, the only reply I can make is Aliester Crowley’s comment re Jack Parsons and L Ron Hubbard:
“I thought I had a most morbid imagination, as good as any man’s…but it appears I have not.”
As well as a restatement of the TV Trope “All Christians are Catholics”; you want the maximum of rich on-screen action without looking like a mental case, you show one of the Western liturgical rites.

The last time I saw The Godfather was around a month ago, on one of AMC or SpikeTV’s marathons. After all these years, it still holds up, still fresh and rich, still a masterpiece of storytelling.

That scene, along with several others, convinced me that the Godfather trilogy was one of the 20th century’s most profound movie stories.

Off topic, but I don’t know where else to post my wishing a great birthday celebration. I was lurking the BHT site when I saw those balloons.
I struggled with myself should I post this or not, wether a stranger wish you well in your birthday has meaning or not…anyway..
Happy Birthday!
