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? lol 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 smile.

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! lol

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


I just saw the movie. It wasn't bad at all. I enjoyed it. Seems like it should have gotten a bit wider release/notice.

Also it had Ricky Aiello in a brief cameo. He looks like -acts like- what I expected Al Neri to look like in my mind's eye. If they ever did do a remake.. smile

"Musselsucker" sounds like something that you would say to start a fight. rolleyes

"You musselsuckers don't run things around here any more.." lol

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
