Mafioso (The Criterion Collection, 3.18.2008) Nino Badalamenti is a supervisor in a car manufacturing plant who hasn't taken a vacation in over two years. On his way out the door to visit his beloved childhood hometown of Sicily -- with his blonde wife and daughters -- Nino is handed a package by his boss and asked to deliver it to a powerful and influential Sicilian gangster named Don Vincenzo. Once in Sicily, Nino has a hoot seeing friends and family, but his wife has trouble fitting in and is unfairly dismissed as a snob by Nino's family. Even more worrisome, Nino finds himself entangled in an intricate web of secret mafioso dealings and is eventually sent on an unexpectedly... elaborate errand. (continued)

And I thought this story was going to be about Ahnuld and Bruce Willis teaming up for an action movie!

Really in light of his decision to not support any reversal of the Cali Supreme Court's Gay Marriage decision, Bruno might want to cut him some slack.

ALI G: fake wigger who pranks unsuspecting Americans

BORAT: fake middle-easterner who pranks unsuspecting Americans

BRUNO: fake homosexual who pranks unsuspecting Americans

Cohen really should have gone into construction because he's great at hammering the same idea into the ground over and over and over and over.

p.Vice: Every movie is crap.

p.Vice: Every filmmaker lacks originality.

p.Vice: J. Wells is a moron


p.Vice really should try to make a living as an Internet Troll since he's great at hammering the same themes into the ground over and over and over and over.

Damn it. I was about to get indignant until oakling made the pertinent point.

If such a sizeable proportion of the American public were'nt so great at making tits of themselves then maybe the joke would start suffering from fatigue. But they are, so it hasn't.

He's the one who put that ban into effect.

Chris, say what you want about Vice but you can hardly argue about that third point.
