Humorist Kevin Lawson has stepped away from his usual survival guide duties, and has decided to explore his movie maven tendencies. From The Godfather to Forrest Gump, from On The Waterfront to Some Like It Hot, Lawson shares his recollections of a life spent in total darkness, armed only with a box of popcorn and a soft spot for classic films.
The Godfather
So, I finally decided to watch "The Godfather." You know, that movie that everyone claims is the pinnacle of cinema, the film that supposedly defines the mob genre and has been quoted more times than any other film in history. I mean, how could I resist? It's like saying no to pizza. You just don't do it. So, armed with a bowl of popcorn and a slightly stale soda, I settled in for what I thought would be a cultural experience.
First off, let's talk about the opening scene. It's dark, it's moody, and it's just a bunch of people talking. And not even interesting talking! It's like they're having a really serious conversation about... well, I don't even know what. I'm sitting there, popcorn halfway to my mouth, thinking, "Is this a movie or a really long episode of a soap opera?" I mean, I'm all for character development, but come on! If I wanted to watch people talk without any action, I'd just go to my family reunion.
And then there's Marlon Brando. Oh, Marlon Brando! The man is a legend, but can we talk about his voice for a second? He sounds like he's trying to talk while chewing on a mouthful of mashed potatoes. I found myself leaning forward, straining to catch every word. I had to turn on the subtitles, which felt like cheating, but I wasn't about to miss any of this legendary dialogue. I mean, I had to know what the "offer I can't refuse" was all about. Spoiler alert: It's not a pizza delivery.
As the movie progresses, the plot thickens, and I'm still trying to keep up. There are family dynamics, betrayals, and enough drama to fill a season of reality TV. But here's the kicker: I couldn't help but chuckle at the sheer absurdity of it all. These guys are mobsters, right? They're supposed to be tough, but they spend half the movie sitting around a table, discussing their feelings. I half expected one of them to pull out a therapist's couch and start venting about their childhood. "You know, Vito, I just feel like my father never really understood me."
And don't get me started on the wedding scene. It's like the world's most awkward family gathering, but with more guns and less potato salad. Everyone is dressed to the nines, and there I am in my pajamas, feeling like I crashed a party I wasn't invited to. I mean, who has a wedding where the guests are more intimidating than the bride and groom? I half expected the DJ to start playing "Gangsta's Paradise" instead of the traditional wedding march.
Oh, and the food! They're always eating, and I'm sitting there, staring at my sad little bowl of popcorn. I swear, if I see one more cannoli, I might just lose it. I felt like I was watching a cooking show where the main ingredient is guilt. "Hey, you want a cannoli? Sure, but remember, you owe me a favor. And, by the way, that favor might involve breaking a few kneecaps."
As the movie reached its climax, I realized I was invested. I was cheering for the Corleones, despite the fact that they were basically running a crime syndicate. I mean, how did I get here? I started the night thinking I was going to watch a classic, and here I was, emotionally rooting for a family of mobsters. I was in too deep...

Diritto di recesso
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
