Also try the Velvet Lounge at the Venetian. No techno, more grown up, great cocktails and a nice view of the strip.

As for hotels, I got a great deal at the Aladdin. The hotel and casino are nothing special; about like a nice Hilton. But the mid-strip location is great if you get a good deal.

Waterworld was a long time ago.
Am I the only person in the world who thought Waterworld was no worse than a slightly-below-average Hollywood summer movie? When it was released, the big deal was that it cost $50 million to make or some such high number for its time. I don't know why anyone cared. The salient question seems to be "is this movie worth my $7.50," not "is this movie worth "$50M." I think that's more widely acknowledged now than it was then. Rarely are huge budgets mentioned as a drawback.

FWIW, I also thoroughly enjoyed the first 15 minutes of Ishtar

Once again, Irrefutable truth that the "E! True Hollywood Story: Hollywood Squares" is a reliable source.

Care to retract your previous statements, Mr. Bilmore?

Ghostbar was actually fun when I went. Huge, huge line, but a friend of mine had the hook up. Lines are for suckers.

Half the bar is indoors. The other half of the bar is on a huge deck. There is a glass floor near the edge that you can stand on and look directly down the side of the building. The view is amazing and everyone in there is good looking or trying very hard to be. Alas, most of the girls had implants and I don't think any of them were from Connecticut, so it might not be your scene.

Thank you for the correction. Of course Julia Ormond would suffer by comparison to Juliet Binoche (who really is too wordly/earthy to play innocent Sabrina anyway), let alone to Audrey Hepburn.

I have no information on whether Sal Tessio took the cannoli, as it were, NTTAWWT. But if he did, who could blame him? Everybody in that movie was a pervert. Sonny didn't want Michael to come out of the men's room with "just" his dick in his hands. Why on earth would a grown man be worried that his brother might emerge into a restaurant while holding his genitalia? And Luca Brasi slept with fishes, that sick fuck.

But the most disturbing thing about that movie is that after we are assured in very clear terms that Moe Greene is dead, he shows up as Nancy McKeon's father on "The Facts of Life." Talk about posthumous conception.
Serious Godfather II question:

Why does the presence of Frankie Plantaglea's brother at the Senate hearing make him (Frankie) decide not to testify?

Michael's explanation of "It was between the brothers, Kate" doesn't quite clear it up for me.

Is there some parallel between Michael/Fredo and Frankie/his brother that we're supposed to draw?

Michael flew Frankie's brother in from the old country to be present at the hearing, because Frankie had agreed to witness protection and was going to rat out Michael and the rest of the family. The implication was that Michael was going to whack the brother if Frankie did so, nothing more.

I don't think there was any parallel between the Michael/Fredo or Frankie and his brother other than Michael had no problems with fratricide.

FWIW, I think the insufficiency of Michael's explanation to Kay had more to do with the fact that she under no circumstances (except for the one time at the end of The Godfather) was supposed to ask him about his business. Even then, he lied to her. I think he was basically saying, "Shut the fuck up, I told you never to ask me about my business again."

It's been a while since I've seen II, and this may be obvious, but I think it was more subtle than just wacking Frankie. I think the larger, more ominous implication was that the Witness Protection Program won't mean shit to people who know enough about you that they can get to your family in Sicily.
