Joe Pesci

I saw 'My Cousin Vinny' - Great movie! I was expecting Joe Pesci to come up more of an Italian don kind of role, but was disappointed when Pesci was shown more of a struggling-lawyer. But as the movie started moving - it was more of a 'as good as it gets' kind. Me enjoyed all the sequences in this movie thoroughly. I remember Joe Pesci playing the role of an Italian don smattering some expletives in almost all the movies that I have seen him act. So, this rather funny-role really caught me by surprise. Marisa Tomei's cameo was outstanding and she looked stunning!

George Carlin(GC), a famous stand-up comedian once during his regular stand-up dose about 'Religion' said something like this:

GC: You know who I pray to? Joe Pesci. Joe Pesci. Two reasons; first of all, I think he's a good actor. Okay. To me, that counts. Second; he looks like a guy who can get things done. Joe Pesci doesn't fuck around. Doesn't fuck around. In fact, Joe Pesci came through on a couple of things that God was having trouble with. For years I asked God to do something about my noisy neighbor with the barking dog. Joe Pesci straightened that cock-sucker out with one visit.
I noticed that of all the prayers I used to offer to God, and all the prayers that I now offer to Joe Pesci, are being answered at about the same 50 percent rate. Half the time I get what I want. Half the time I don't. Same as God 50-50. Same as the four leaf clover, the horse shoe, the rabbit's foot, and the wishing well. Same as the mojo man. Same as the voodoo lady who tells your fortune by squeezing the goat's testicles. It's all the same; 50-50. So just pick your superstitions, sit back, make a wish and enjoy yourself.
And for those of you that look to the Bible for it's literary qualities and moral lessons; I got a couple other stories I might like to recommend for you. You might enjoy The Three Little Pigs. That's a good one. It has a nice happy ending. Then there's Little Red Riding Hood. Although it does have that one X-rated part where the Big Bad Wolf actually eats the grandmother. Which I didn't care for, by the way. And finally, I've always drawn a great deal of moral comfort from Humpty Dumpty. The part I liked best: "and all the king's horses, and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty together again." That's because there is no Humpty Dumpty, and there is no God. None. Not one. Never was. No God.
