Why do you call yourself a mob/gangster fan?
(im posting this in general cos it covers all the other sections in this forum...almost/and it will get everyones attention )

Jeez, I guess I need to run and hide my head in shame, cause I don't think I'm that much of a gangster after all?

-like how many times you've seen this and that MOB movies. GF - about 10 times. 2 times for Casino, 3 times for Goodfellas, 1 time for Donnie Brasco.
-transcripts you know by heart? too many. I usually use gangster quotes in my everyday life.
-how many mob related books you own.which ones? no books
-posters? I have the poster of Michael in his Fedora, the poster of old Michael in GF 3, and a poster of Michael and Vito where Vito's looking down at Michael.
-rare items? none
-any other memorabilia stuff? none
-T-shirts? none
-stuff you know - I know squat
-anything else in life that makes you a gangster fan. I like killing people.

My favorite piece of memorabilia that I own is a check signed by Carlo Gambino.

I also own 70 mob related books, the majority of them non-fiction. I'm using those books, and the resouces of the internet to do some background research for a book I want to write on the Mob.

I don't have enough wall space in my apartment for mob posters, but I'd love to eventually buy some.

I want an autographed copy.

You got it. Con gusto. You got it.

Oh my God..... I'm quoting Fredo now!

I second that!

As for how many time's I've seen The Godfather. God, I don't even know. I'm gonna guess at least 75 times, and that's not even a joke. Goodfellas: probably 10, 12 times. I can't even name all the mob movies I've seen.

The only thing that makes me a "gangster" fan is my collections of DVD's and books. I own The Godfather Trilogy, Goodfellas and Road To Perdition DVD's. I also own The Godfather and The Sicilian books.

You got it. Con gusto. You got it.

Oh my God..... I'm quoting Fredo now! [/b][/quote]You just love excuses to play with your little smilies, don't you? You ever find a pom pom waving one yet?

You got it. Con gusto. You got it.

Oh my God..... I'm quoting Fredo now! [/b][/quote]BTW, SC, I noticed that we have all kinds of mob nicknames here, but not even one "Fredo" or DonFredoCorleone" Nice smiley.
Book is a great idea!
As to mob- knowing Godfather novel almost by heart (with the exception of Fontane-Mancini parts) rates? And a self-hand-made GF wallpaper?

Ive seen the 3 GF films in total about 100 times and still cant get enough.Seen Goodfellas about 30 times,Casino 10,Bronx Tale 5-7 times and scarface at least 5 times.I know alot of transcript from the films.

I own about fifty mob related books, I've probably seen all the Godfather movies a 100 times, I know the dialogue pretty well. I own a 1952 Lucky Luciano Comic book, and here are my collectibles displayed on my wall :



Oh, and I think that most of you know by now that I am pretty well versed when it comes to SCARFACE!
Oh, I forgot about my Godfather Dress Shirts, My Scarface Dress Shirt ( right TIS?) and my Godfather Bobbleheads.

Don Cardi

Again Don Cardi that walls Awesome

Don Cardi, can I have your wall?

That is just amazing. A mafia shrine.

I need to work my way towards that...

Mob Movies I’ve Seen:
The Godfather Trilogy: I can’t keep count of how many times I’ve watched these, and sometimes I’ll just watch a few parts, so I’m not sure. This, however, is my top viewing one.
Goodfellas: Only once…
A Bronx Tale: At least twice
Casino: Only part of it; I’d like to watch it all
The Untouchables: Same as Casino; I’ve seen only part
Road To Perdition: Probably about twice
Analyze This & Analyze That: If you want to count these

Transcripts I Know By Heart:
I quote The Godfather quite often, and I recognize similar versions of the famous quotes by people who don’t realize they’re making them. The Trilogy is just about all I know well enough to quote, besides maybe the “How am I funny?” Goodfellas routine.

Mob Related Books I Own:
The Godfather - My parents just got me this for my birthday; I’m reading it when I can, and it’s awesome.
Omerta - I haven’t had a chance to read this one.
The Godfather Returns - Don’t kill me; my dad got it as a gift.

Posters:
None. Terrible, I know. I’ve printed out tons of pictures to hang in my room, put on my binder, or whatever else I can think of, but I’ve never bought a “real” poster.

Rare Items and Memorabilia:
Nothing! Now I just feel pathetic.

T-Shirts:
I have a T-Shirt that is for the Festa Italiana, but it has the Godfather puppet strings logo, its text is in the Godfather design, and it says, “WELCOME TO THE FAMILY.”

Stuff I Know:
More than the average person, obviously, or I wouldn’t call myself a Godfather fan, but the super-smart people here make me feel like a fool!

What Makes Me A Gangster Fan:
- Robert DeNiro
- Al Pacino
- Marlon Brando
- My dad got me into it; it’s a “family business.”
- The mafia is just interesting, and there are some simply amazing movies about it.

You got it. Con gusto. You got it.

Oh my God..... I'm quoting Fredo now! [/b][/quote]Fredo, uh, um, oh, I mean SC, can I get an autographed copy also?


Don Cardi

Wait in line bud. And if you try to cut in line I'll whack you with my zucchini.

Promises, Promises!



Don Cardi

You never mentioned you gave out spankings. :p

I think that emicon has a smile on her face.

No, it's actually Beth E wacking Don Cardi in the head with her Zucchini!

Umm.. well I've seen The Godfather probably hundreds of times.. I watch it constantly.. And I watch Goodfellas and Casino a lot too. I know all the words to The Godfather.. I guess that's the transcript, right?

I own a bunch of books.. all of the Puzo ones.. plus The Valachi Papers.. and about 20 books on various (real life) gangsters.

I've always been a mob/gangsgter fan. I've seen most popular mob movies. I have a couple Puzo books, and the GF DVD box set. I don't have any posters or momentos however.

I never proclaimed to be an expert, but thought my knowledge was ok.....until I came to the BB, and found out I don't know jack!!!!! :p

Hey, but I'm learning. I am sure I know at least 3 times more now than when I first joined, but compared to some of the genuises here, I still got a long way to go. It is fun learning about something that I'm actually interested in.

TIS

Yeah sure! That's why you and REBENGA were sitting practically on top of each other quoting the GF movie word for word!


Don Cardi

I've seen the GF trilogy probably about 60-70 times, Goodfellas about 5 times(I just got done watching it) Casino about 5 times, Scarface about 20 times. Plus I've seen about 4-5 other gangster flicks.

I don't really know many transcripts(don't really have a good memory, although I do use some quotes from the Godfather trilogy once in awhile.

Close to 30 books that I don't even begin to name.

One Godfather poster 2 Scarface posters

I don't own any rare items, or any other memorabilia.

1 Scarface t-shirt I can't find a decent place to find t-shirts. Anyone know of a place?

I thought I knew quite abit until I came here and came across Turnbull. Then I realized I don't know sh*t. But I still know a hell of a lot more than anyone I know personally.

I've always wanted to be involved in the gangster life, maybe that makes me a gangster fan.

If we put together all of the gangster related books and movies that we own between us , the knowledge that Turnbull has stored in his head would still beat us out!

Don Cardi
