Jules Segal was boring and unneeded, thus the reason he was scrapped for the movie. On the other hand, although irrelevant to the tale, Nino Valenti was a good character. If enhanced, he could have meant more, but the story flowed better with him being a bit player. Still, I liked him. I've read 'Portnoy's Complaint' and truly agree with SC bout that one. Aight, I'm out.
