You can’t fail to have been hungry watching the dinner scene in Goodfellas (see above). It was always one of my favourite scenes from one of the greatest movies ever made (well, after Morrie – the man with the wig – talking about Robert De Niro’s character, saying: “Hey, fuck him. fuck him in the ear. What are you talking about? fuck him in the other ear, that son of a bitch”).
Paul Sorvino, the man who is seen slicing garlic with a razor blade in the jail scene has finally cashed in and decided to make some cash from it, bringing out the Paul Sorvino marinara sauce (though he has also produced a vodka sauce). You can see his commercial, which he wrote himself by clicking here. Unfortunately there’s no one being whacked, there’s also no razor blade for the garlic.
“I have had a life long passion for food and have enjoyed cooking since I was twelve years old,” says Sorvino.
“I am really excited about creating food that consumers will be able to enjoy and share with family and friends. I have a box full of family recipes waiting to be developed. I want Paul Sorvino Foods to be a ground breaking company that produces great tasting food that will be affordable to consumers. Our company’s trademarked slogan is Simply the finest”.
Who’s gonna argue with him? I’d hate to wake up and see Joe Pesci standing over me ready to throttle me, would you?
