“Stop Feeding the Dog from the Table, from the Plate on Top of It!”

As Scorsese obsessives are aware, my subject line is a quote from GoodFellas, the greatest of all Scorsese films, which is screening tonight in the tricked-out parking lot of Havana.

If the opportunity to watch one of the most entertaining Great Films of all time in the well-stocked parking lot of a bar isn’t enough to tempt you out on a Wednesday evening, consider this information released today by Havana’s Quentin:

Via Tribunali is setting up a portable pizza parlor in the Havana parking lot. Dino, Tribunali’s Pizzaiolo, is a master chef from the heart of Napoli, and he’ll be manning the wood-fired oven all night. This is a real treat, a gesture of profound generosity, and something that happens when a neighborhood comes together. It’s old school, and it’s the way things ought to be.

In addition to great cinema and freakishly accessible pizza, tonight features pre- and post-show music from DJs Cherry Canoe and Self-Administered Beatdown. Admission is $5, gates open at 7:30 PM, movie begins around 9:00, and the forecast calls for 75 degrees and sunny.

See you there. Until then, contemplate the brilliance of this painting. (“One dog goes this way, the other goes that way, and this guy says, ‘Whaddya want with me?’”)

I wish I didn't have plans for tonight already. =( Even though I just watched GoodFellas like 2 weeks ago, that's a movie that I will never get tired of.

When we were kids, the compares used to visit one another. There was this man. He would never talk. He'd just sit there all night.

They say to him, "What's the matter? Don't you say anything?"

He says, "What am I going to say, that my wife two-times me?"

So she says, "Shut up! You're always talking!"

But in Italian, it sounds much nicer.

Greatest movie ever made. The rest is conversation.

Actual quote:

One dog goes one way, the other dog goes the other way, and this guy's sayin', "Whadda ya want from me?'

Now, go home and get your fucking shinebox!!
