I used to work with a bunch of genuine movie buffs. I had a TV and a VCR in my office, and often brought in movies that we could watch (partly) during breaks or lunch times. The Billy Batts scene (with Frank Vincent) was the most-requested of Goodfellas for these viewings, with Spider-gets-shot #2. Incidentally: The guy with the salt/pepper beard, turtleneck and medallion who's greeted by Batts is Vito Piccone, former lead singer of the Elegants, a '50's doo-wop group that had a single hit, "Little Star," in '58 (anyone here old enough to remember it?) And Vito Antuofermo, former middleweight contenduh who played The Ant in GFIII, had a tiny bit part in Goodfellas--Pesci greets him at the Copa.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
