Another Bronx Tale


"The saddest thing in life is wasted talent."

I saw the movie "A Bronx Tale" (DeNiro's 1993 Directorial Debut) for the first time this weekend and was struck by the actor playing DeNiro's son.  I looked him up on IMDB and this is what I found out:


Lillo Brancato Jr.


Lillo was born in Colombia and adopted at 4 months old.  He lived in Yonkers, NY with his parents and brother.  He was discovered on the beach by talent scouts looking for a DeNiro lookalike.

After his epic performance in "A Bronx Tale," he appeared in a few more movies and started doing drugs. Lillo was arrested in 2005,  when he and his ex-girlfriend's father attempted to break into a house for herion.  An off-duty police officer was killed when he tried to stop them.  Lillo was acquitted of manslaughter (he claims he did not know his assailant carried a gun) but was charged with attempted burglary and sentenced to 10 years in prison.  Lillo will be eligible for parole in 2014.


I am sad to see this is how his story unfolded, given the promise he shows in that movie.  But I am still rooting for him to recover and get back into acting.  

If you've never seen the movie, I suggest you go watch it now.

Girls Hate Me because I'm So Pretty

The Downside of Being Pretty - Samantha Brick - DailyMail

The hottest woman ever, according to Samantha Brick

Sorry boys, she's taken


This article just went viral by self-proclaimed British beauty Samantha Brick.  In it she chronicles how difficult it is to be pretty.  In her mind, getting gifts and attention from men is terrible for one main reason--because women hate her for it.

If you're American like me, you immediately notice her teeth.  But whether you think she is attractive is not the point.  She suggests the only reason people hate her is because she's pretty and doesn't stop to think about an alternate scenario (her massive ego).

I think a bigger drawback of being too pretty would be the unwanted attention from creepers and strangers.  Yet the article does not even bring it up.

The article seems fake, like it was written to garnish attention.  Or....Samantha Brick is the most delusional woman ever.  What do you think?
