wait waht?
well . . . i just learned something
The oil of the two dogs was painted by Nicholas Pileggi’s mother, and is based on a photograph from the November 1978 issue of National Geographic. Pileggi was the author of Wise Guy, a treatment of the life of gangster Henry Hill, on which GoodFellas is based.
This may have been common knowledge but I wasn't aware. Whaddya want from me?

At first I thought someone v v painstakingly recreated the painting but I was like wait a second . . . and then the internet came through.

Pileggi was the author of Wise Guy, a treatment of the life of gangster Henry Hill, on which Good Fellas is based. As chance would have it, Pileggi was present in 2006 when friend and casino developer Steve Wynn accidentally stuck his elbow through Le Rêve, a Picasso painting that Wynn was about to sell to hedge funder Steve Cohen for $139 million.

i still don't get why they froze a *friend* to death. is it explained in the book? i mean.. sheesh.
― piscesx, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 19:16 (thirteen years ago) link
Jimmy did it himself. Paranoid that everyone involved would start singing. He was a psychopath who made the assumption that the more gruesome the death, the louder the signal would be.
― Pleasant Plains, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 19:22 (thirteen years ago) link
mm i thought maybe he could have just ended up in the garbage though, with those others or gunned down or whatever. at least Morrie went quickly. frozen to death is so grim, possibly worse than the baseball bat method in Casino. it's debatable i guess!
― piscesx, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 19:28 (thirteen years ago) link
freezing to death is like going to sleep, right? sure in this case it was like going to sleep while suspended on meathooks but hey what do you want from me?

I thought he was shot AND THEN frozen.

It took a long time for him to thaw out too. Any fresh evidence would be gone by then.
Didn't stop him with the other victims, but just sayin'.

this "guy was frozen to death" theory is like some sub-"sleep! that's where I'm a viking" level nonsense

When they found Carbone in the meat truck, he was frozen so stiff it took them three days to thaw him out for the autopsy.

That rules.
