Figured I would just post this little news item here rather than starting a new thread.

Actor Frank Sivero, who played Goodfellas character Frankie Carbone, has filed a $250 million lawsuit against Fox Television Studios for basing one of The Simpsons's mob characters on his likeness.

“Okay, maybe my dad did steal Itchy, but so what? Animation is built on plagiarism! If it weren’t for someone plagiarizing ‘The Honeymooners’, we wouldn’t have ‘The Flintstones’. If someone hadn’t ripped of ‘Sgt. Bilko’, there’d be no ‘Top Cat’! Huckleberry Hound, Chief Wiggum, Yogi Bear? Ha! Andy Griffith, Edward G. Robinson, Art Carney. Your honor, you take away our right to steal ideas, where are they gonna come from?”

Thought i'd start watching Scarface
I am half way through the movie and love it !
I would say if the Godfather is Fine Dining food, Scarface is great comfort food

I've finished watching it now
Loved the first third, second third was good, last third i didn't like
SPOILERS
I just didn't buy it that from where he came from and what he had to do to get to the top that he would be such a dick to those closest to him culmulating of course in him killing his friend.
I really wanted to see more of the business side of things and how Tony actually got to the top. It happened a bit too quick for my liking

Now you can watch the 1932 original which tells virtually the same story (but set in Prohibition-era Chicago) in half the running time.
