Ventura is that dangerous mix of crazy, smart, and egotistical.  It makes him hard not to pay attention to.

Supposedly it's the day that enough is sold for businesses to turn a profit.  Going from "in the red" to "in the black".

I've thought for quite a while that post face lift Tyler and Joan Rivers look like they could be twins.

I don't "know" by any means. 

But I think the main difference is that most leaks are from albums that are about to come out.  Finished, discs pressed, just sitting on a shelf waiting to come out.  The GNR leaks were of songs still being worked on, which is much more rare.

Axlin, I've been trying to tell people pretty much exactly what you said about III for years.  A lot of people's complaint about it is that Michael is "just a scumbag" in it.  I don't understand that logic, because when you think about the last couple things he did it II, he really shouldn't be kind of a hero anymore.  Like you said, it takes the character full circle.

With your thoughts on 1 and 2, for repeat viewing you might want to look up "The Godfather Saga".  It takes the flashbacks from 2, and puts them 1st.  Then you see all of 1.  Then you see the "present day" parts of 2.
