I thought I was nice.... Godfather Of Harlem .....Another scene that is full of shit (NSFW)



Here is another scene where they get it all wrong. They have Costello negotiating with Joe Boannao played by one of our favorite phony Mafia actors Chaz Palmentiri from "The Bronx Tale." Now that was a good freakin' movie.

Still they have the Chin saying he gave Joe Banana's the docks in Brooklyn. Well everyone knows that the docks and especially the Union were controlled by the Gambinos. If anyone else had any pull it was the Colombo's.  So the scene where Costello is the go between out in the open with the Chin and Joe is just a big bag of bullshit.

Still it is well acted.

We need more Mafia shows not less.

We actually need more (or even one) Goldman Sachs show since it was Hank Paulson and Ben Bernanke who stole not ten times, not a hundred times, but a THOUSAND TIMES as much in the 2008 financial crisis as all the Mafia thefts of all time put together.

JJ: I thought it was make up at first, but it looks like what happens with aging and plastic surgery. Not good.

He's old. A catastrophe that happens to everyone. But maybe it's more shocking if the person was vital once, like Palminteri.

It was the surgery. It is catastrophic. What a mess.

They got everything wrong in this show. The Muhammad Ali stuff was even more wrong if that was possible. Ali lost that fight. That was the consensus of most observers at the time. The word was that the fix was in by the Mob so Ali would win not the other way around. They were setting up a big payday with Sonny Liston.

I have no idea what any of that was about, D'Onofrio goes what, about 5 bills now? Chaz might as well change his last name to Bono, and if you really want a laugh, watch that clip like I do, with closed captions on - that translation is comedy gold right there.
