A rep theatre close by is screening this three times in the next few days. "In memory of Ray Liotta"--I suspect it's more a case of "In memory of when people saw movies in theatres." I don't blame them at all.

Nothing like a long-time friend you share a private language with. My friend Peter signed off his latest email with "Pete the Killer (I took care of that thing for you)."

Let me understand this, 'cause I...maybe it's me, maybe I'm a little fucked up maybe. Is that a putdown?

Goodfellas sighting: The Office, S6, the episode about the insurance salesman: immediately recognized the salesman--and possible Mafia soldier--as Frenchy. ("Security? You're looking at it. It's a joke. I'm the midnight to eight man.") Mike Starr is the guy's name. Didn't realize he was also in Miller's Crossing--can't get an image to confirm, but I think he's the goon who feels so bad about having to pummel Gabriel Byrne in the warehouse.

Another one I now realize is him: Born on the Fourth of July, the guy in the bar who ridicules Cruise about his war experiences.

There's actually quite a few points of similarity between "GoodFellas" and "Miller's Crossing":
- Gangster drama released in late September of 1990
- Gangsters all primarily delineated as Irish/Italian/Jewish
- Mike Starr as a character named "Frankie" and "Frenchie", two names that could both be considered slang for "Francophone"
- Irish protagonist with Jewish love interest
- Murder of a character known for his toupee
- "Oh Danny Boy" is heard, either sung or played on a Victrola
- Corpse left in wooded area, and later revisited by protagonist, who succumbs to vomiting
- Both Tom Regan and Lois insist on retrieving their forgotten hats
