they romanticized Jimmy as being Henry's father figure and made him friends of Tommy and Jimmy. The real Jimmy Burke was a far more evil man who didn't gives two ****s about Henry or Tommy.
Now I'm not saying he was a
Friends
-watching The WB-loving, CBS-loving,
Seinfeld
-hating (OK and exagerration, as those 2 shows and The WB didn't exist until 1994, 1995, and 1990 respectively, but I'm sure he loved CBS, although Jimmy Burke lived long enough to know all of them, and I don't doubt he hated
Seinfeld
, and while he probably didn't get much exposure to
Friends
[it wasn't popular] or The WB [again unpopular compared to UPN], he probably would have liked it). Allied Nordicist racist against Italians, but he did come off as borderline racist. And btw, he wasn't even Irish anyways. Burke is a Viking last name. So his Irishness is very little. He could have had Spaniard ancestry too, since the Spaniards, like the Vikings, came and oppressed Ireland.
He was like the mob's version of Charlamagne, a borderline racist, Allied (OK the Allies didn't exist yet but he was the Allies in philosophy) Germanic Frankish warmongerer who didn't have any respect for anyone, and he was an example of Germanic cruelty too. He wasn't fond of Rome either. And plus this notion that Germanics weren't brutal. Hats off to Martin Scorsese. That was brilliant. I saw many parallels between Burke and Charlamagne. Burke had all of Charlamagne's personality minus his larger-than-life conqueror attributes. Christianity came to them via Jewish evangelists. They evangelized the world. Plus Scandinavia and Spain were never Roman Catholic. Spain is Germanic, and Spaniard are white with Penelope Cruz Englsih accents, not Latin with Latin English (not that this movie disagrees, Nuyoricans and Italians are non-white, Hispanic, Latin with Latin English accents in this one, which makes it better than stupid
Rocky
or
Sopranos- even the whole "coloreds" thing in
Godfather
came be blamed more on stupid Mario Puzo; I'm glad Francis made it for himself. I don't even think he liked Puzzo much either lol). If I recall one -ez-surnamed Spaniard plays someone doing business with the Mafia in the beginning of this movie and he's purely white-sounding and says "scumbag" unlike the Mafia.
- even the whole "coloreds" thing in

Um let's see here. She glorifies codelessness and
Basic Instinct
. That makes her unworthy of respect.
I'll take a villain with a code, before I take her "goodness". Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini and ****ing Caesar were better than her. Daffy Duck and even Carrie Underwood can kick her ass. And you insulted me. I remember you.
Plus she, and Tapart and all those assholes who made that show, loves The WB and
Friends
, both unpopular compared to UPN and
Seinfeld
, respectively. Here in the states and worldwide.
She doesn't scare me and I'm sure I can take her on. Sharon Stone doesn't scare me either. And neither does
Fourth Man

Better than being some half-assed little fag moron who likes dick, like you.
I stand by what I say, and if you don't like it, too ****ing bad.
"Xena" sucks as a show, and I can easily take her, "Basic Instinct," "Fourth Man" down and their little minions. -

No angry implies that I deep down think the people I'm replying to are somehow awesome or superior and that I'm jealous. I am merely ANNOYED which means I have a very disrespectful feeling towards some of these things that won't shut up. And idiocies. It's not that I think I'm superior but it gets annoying when you tell someone the facts and they still insist that they're right. And it's annoyingly so.
You included, obviously. And people who use the word "crazy" and "stupid" in the same sentence are dumb, cause that's just contrived bullshit to shut down an argument and that makes me the winner obviously. Mental hospitals and their doctors don't get respect and people who say that word aren't respectable either. Now go watch stupid Denis Leary, who thinks "bro" is black slang, and ****ing get a life. That jackass with his stupid firefighter show should have killed himself a long time ago being annoying and ****.
