🪡 🎥 The making of #TheGodfather — some facts, clips & the challenges of getting #MarlonBrando #AlPacino for their now critically acclaimed performances.
Paramount didn’t want #MarlonBrando. With Coppolas insistence, Brando finally landed the part after a number of screen tests and even an arrangement for Brando to personally post a bond to cover any potential costs incurred by any possible poor on-set behavior.
#Coppola handed #Brando tape recordings of a 1950 investigation into organised crime that featured real-life mobsters, including Joseph Valachi. Vito’s mumbled drawl was drawn from Valachi’s own speech. It was also Brandos idea to make Vito Corleones face look like a “bulldog”.

Music really IS the food of the soul.

The best period of my life (I think this applies for most people) was between ages 18 and 24 as a free-spirited student with no real responsibilities.

I have songs from that period playing right now, and I'm so happy. So much nostalgia...
Dunno which of you kiddies ever heard this song, but in its day, it rocked the fooking planet.

Macarena!!!
Once upon a time, there were no female rappers. Enter MC Lyte. She didn't open doors for those that came after her, no, she smashed them down.

THREAD of LEGENDS

To mark #3Years since the largest vote for anything in the UK’s history let’s celebrate the MPs, who by their actions in Parliament, have kept our #Brexit dream alive. They are an elite band of #BrexitSpartans. Every one a #BrexitLegend

In this majority Remain Parliament there are only 40 MPs (6%) who’ve fought, under sustained pressure, to uphold the will of the British people as expressed in #EURef2016

28 #Conservatives
10 #DUP
2 #Labour

Here they are below. Please give them a RT
