Did you catch the Black Whale in the opening sequence, Babe?

I forgot to mention this movie to you last year, but I knew you'd love it. We saw it in theatre at the Whitestone Multiplex, just off the Hutch. How's that for getting in the spirit of things? I've since bought the dvd.

Well, I'm glad you got to see it anyway!

I did think that Garcia's Bronx accent was a bit over the top, but it was all in good fun. I'd never really heard the musselsucker/clamdigger thing outside of a City Island bar before, so they really did their homework .

Fun fact: That's his real life daughter (Dominik Garcia-Lorido) playing his on-screen daughter. And I give Andy even more credit for that, what with her playing a stripper and all. I sure as Hell couldn't handle it if it were me!

If it weren't 20 degrees I'd shoot up there right now for dinner. Oh well, maybe tomorrow.
