i hate mob movies. they're always like 4 hour long and boring as shit. just because there is opera music playing and slo-mo doesn't make a scene with a bunch of dumb guidos shooting each any deeper. maybe it's because i grew up around these douches.

my vote goes to johnny dangerously.

I never took mob movies as being particularly "deep." I just like seeing greedy psychopaths kill eachother over pointless shit, and to pretty much get away with it until they get whacked. LIke goodfellas, that shit is a true story. They paint the main character to be some great guy, but you know he's a scumbag, but he's an interesting scumbag.
I group up around some guys like that too, and they definitely make you think twice about the characters in these movies, but I don't know, I guess it is what it is. I can see why you don't like it, but maybe you cvan see why I do?

oh for sure, it's just annoying when you see murals of tony montana at a table with don corleone or something. the godfather is actually based on my great uncle carlo gambino (i think.) so there was always sketchy shit go on around my grandparents house when my mom was growing up. just hearing her stories kind of takes the fun and escapism out of it.


I think that everyone that grew up in Chicago is related to someone or knows someone who is a part of the mafia.  A girl I'm friends with is cousins or something of the Spallatro (spelling?) family.  For those of you who don't know that's who Joe Pesci's character in casino is based on. 
First of all, I want to thank god for giving you all so much, and me so little...

obviously not everyone but if you're full blooded sicilian i'd say there's a pretty good chance. it's actually pretty funny. my mom never realized that her family was doing sketchy shit, i mean she had her suspicions but just never thought it went up that high. then one day i'm watching history channel probably 7 or 8 year ago and it's this documentary on the mob. they show carlo as soon as my mom walks in and goes "uncle charlie?" like she had no idea. since then my grandparents told have told us all the real shit that was going and actually gave us a custom hood ornament that once belonged to al capone and was willed to my grandma mary. it's sitting in our attic right now.
