i like the andy kaufman joke. but i mean it's true about al needing to be in the fourth one. the godfather is about passage of rights from father to son. as long as there is still enough of a story to tell of the old don there should be a way of completing mike's story. it's one big arc, the rise of the corleone family with the great don, and the fall of the corleone with the son. i got to say though, mike may have been brilliant but the one advantage his father had that he didn't was that the don didn't have the fbi up everyone's ass.
