I HATE COPPOLA AND SCORSESE

No, I really do not hate those two movie making geniuses, although Francis Ford has not really done anything of distinction in a long while. I hate the genre of movies that they have helped launch. I am talking about the mafia movie. Movies like The Godfather Trilogy, Goodfellas, Casino, A Bronx Tale and the Sopranos TV series, and many other great works that I neglect to mention. These are all great great movies (and TV series) and I love them, so I really do not hate the mafia movie genre. What I reall hate are the fans of that genre. The fans that do not really see the movie as demonizing these criminals but sees them as heroes. In every one of the these films the bad guys all basically get their comeuppance in the end, usually a violent death or a long jail term but mostly the violent death thing. I just do not see how anybody can see these movies, see the lowlife scum in it, see the horrible acts that they pull off and then turn to their friends when the credits roll and say damn I like that guy.

I hate that every half assed goumba who sees the movie thinks that they are the second coming of Michael Corleone. I hate every gold chain wearing, velour jump suit having, pasta eating, Z28 driving, stupid city accent speaking hardass with even 1% Italian somewhere in their lineage thinks that they walk around like they have some kind of connection to Jon Gotti. Half of these jackasses would wet themselves even in the slightest hairy kind of situation. I hope that they all die.

The other group of mafia movie fan I loathe is the kind that arte not Italian but then after watching a mafia movie miraculously turn into Mr. South Philly. They watch a movie then their voice changes, you start to notice a little bit of an accent that was not there before. You cannot really place it but it kind of vaguely sounds like some form of a bad generic European accent. Then the guy wants to have some red wine, and some gabbagoul, then some linguinin in white gravy (sauce?), then finish it off with come priscout and some cannoli. You do not know what the fuck any of those things are but you presume that the are Italian foods, mainly because they all end in vowels. Then you realize that this guy, this friend you once knew, has exactly zero Italian in is heritage, in fact he is a completely different nationality, say Polish. We all have a friend that fits into this second category, I won't say his name but his initials are Jamie michael Dutkiewicz.

The last and most mind-boggling category of mafia fans are blacks. This one I just do not get. Everytime I watch cribs or something involving a rap star, they have all of these mob movies and paraphenalia all over their lavish houses. They have albums called the Doggfather, they pose in suits and recreate scenes from movies, they do whatever they see in these mob movies. All this is fine but the ironic thing is how much the mafia HATE blacks. The Godfather deals with moving into the drug business. They do not want to sell it to their own people so they sell it to black communities because "those animals do not have a soul anyway". Whenever a couple of goumbas get into a fight you hear some man of power break it up and tell them to stop "acting like niggers". The mafia just has a general disdain for black people and black people just lap it up like they can't get enough. I just do not get it.

Anyway that is the end of my latest hate filled rant, stay tuned because I am sure that it will be followed by others. I am thinking about next blogging about drivers that I hate. Well until next time. My name is Jason and she said that she was 18.
