The events of yesterday’s SERENITY session….

Take Me Out, To The Black…

I don’t know how many of you have seen A Bronx Tale, the movie based on Chaz Palminteri’s one-man off-Broadway play, which was directed (and co-starred) Robert DeNiro, but it’s one of my favorites.

Given the thesis statement of the film (which is quoted in my post title), you can imagine my sadness at reading this: Lillo Brancato, the actor who played “C” as a teenager, has been charged with the murder of an off-duty police officer in NYC. He had also appeared in a half-dozen episodes of “The Sopranos”….and if throwing that all away and committing burglary and murder isn’t a perfect example of “wasted talent”, I don’t know what is.

Very sad.

Got an amazing Yule present from today.

During the whole dust-up about the no-talent asshat and his attempt to “take me on” , joked about buying me some of the asshat’s products.

Of course, now the asshat’s products are no longer available at RPGNow.

So, created a JPG of one of the asshat’s “neo-pulp” product covers, a picture of the asshat from his website, and the statement I quoted in this linked post, where the asshat played the Race Card…. He then printed it out, and presented it to me in a frame, which is now hanging in my office.

Fucking HILARIOUS.
