It was freezing.
ICE is a very good name for the exhibition.
Thanks for the replies…
Although I am a bit sad that no one commented on where the term “fargin’ icehole” came from…
I guessed “Fargin Icehole” was Joe Piscopo in “Johnny Dangerously” a flick staring Michael Keaton…
In the movie Piscopo used the term “Fargin Bastages”
LOL!
Very, VERY close, Lou…
The actor was not Piscapo… although he WAS in the movie.
The actor (whose name I do not recall) player Roman Moroni, an Italian imigrant who tried his best to curse like Scar Face. However, his English was so bad it never came out right. For example… while on trial for organized crime charges, Moroni addressed the court like this:
“You lousy cork-suckers. You have violated my fargin’ rights. This suminonbatching country was founded so that the liberties of common patriotic citizens, like me, could not be taken away by a bunch of fargin’ ice holes, like yourselves.”
Funny funny stuff….
Edited to say – The character was Roman Moronie and was played by Richard Dimitri ya miserable cork-sucker;) (sorry Integ)
Another great quote
“Okay, you and the rest of your bastages can gamble, but don’t try no fargin tricks, otherwise you wind up with your bells in a sling!”
And another beauty
“I would like to direct this to the distinguished members of the panel: You lousy corksuckers. You have violated my farging rights. Dis somanumbatching country was founded so that the liberties of common patriotic citizens like me could not be taken away by a bunch of fargin iceholes…like yourselves.”
So yes – he did say fargin icehole just for the record;)
WOW
I just found this in the search engine results
JOHNNY DANGEROUSLY ORIG script SIGNED Keaton JOHNNY
DANGEROUSLY ORIG script SIGNED Keaton, $95.00, -, 2h 41m.Seems the original script was selling on ebay some time back. $95 with 2h 41m left…. Damn – Im sorry I missed that..that would have been cool to have.
Decent flick. Good actors.
Hey, what the hell happened to Keaton and Joe Piscopo? Both were decent actors and Keaton was really hot there for awhile.
Keaton is directing now – he did Body Shots. One of his last movies was Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown (he played a cop). Another great flick.
And as for Joe
For almost 20 years, Joe Piscopo has proven so be one of show business’ brightest lights. After stints as a disc jockey and dinner-theater performer, Piscopo turned to comedy. In 198O, he was chosen to join a newly formed ensemble charged with one of the most difficult tasks in TV history-replacing the original cast of Saturday Night Live.
By the time he left the show in 1985, Joe Piscopo had left his mark on the program, and the nation, thanks his wide range of hilarious original characters and celebrity impersonations, from “The Sports Guy” and “Doug Whiner” to David Letterman and, of course, Frank Sinatra who has repeatedly endorsed Piscopo’s portrayal of him.
His work on SNL quite naturally led to Hollywood and starring roles in such smash hits as Wise Guys (with Danny DeVito) and Johnny Dangerously (with Michael Keaton). His other film credits include Dead Heat, Sidekicks, Hick & The King of Hearts, Two Bits & Pepper and Demolition Day.
Even tough the big screen beckoned, Joe didn’t forsake television. He has starred in three HBO specials; his work in the first of these, The Joe Piscopo Special won him a CableACE Award for Outstanding Performance. Piscopo also starred in the critically acclaimed New Jersey Special on ABC-TV.
Advertisers have long appreciated Joe Piscopo’s unique relationship with his public. He has been featured in two long-running and memorable ad campaigns, for Miller Lite Beer and Bally’s health spas, and has also served as spokesman for GNC nutrition centers,
Live performances have always been an important part of Joe Piscopo’s career. He has long been one of America’s most popular comedy concert attractions, filling arenas and casino showroom from coast-to-coast and in Canada, where he is revered as entertainer.
In January 1996, Joe Piscopo conquered yet another realm when he starred on Broadway as disc jockey Vince Fontaine in Grease! (Ever the trouper, Joe insisted on performing opening night despite conditions created by one of the worst buzzards in history).
The show’s producers were so impressed with Piscopo’s Broadway turn that they built a touring company around him for the summer of 1996. And when Grease! reopened on Broadway in April 1997, after a three-month hiatus, it was Joe Piscopo who was asked to headline the production in order to get it back on its feet. His month-long run resulted in a $1 million advance sale and a string of SRO performances.
Although his unique talents are in constant demand from show business quarters, Joe Piscopo devotes an extreordinary amount of time to non-profit and charitable activities. Piscopo’s willingness to perform at benefit functions knows no limits. Joe Piscopo currently is spearheading a major drive for New Jersey’s Columbus Hospital, which plans to put mobile medical clinics on the the inner-city streets of Newark, N.J., and other cities.
Perhaps nearest and dearest to Joe Piscopo’s heart, however, is Jersey Joe’s Gyms, a Newark, N.J., program involving the city’s police department and Boys and Girls Club. The concept is twofold; to give inner-city kids a safe fun place to develop their minds and bodies, and to bring together police and children for mentoring and the promotion of drug-and-violence-free behavior.
In addition, Joe Piscopo has been a tireless crusader for father’s rights. Piscopo says his proudest achievement of all is twice being named Father of the Year-in 1983 by the National Father’s Day Council, and in 1989 by the New Jersey Council of Children’s Rights.
No matter how busy he may be, Joe Piscopo always makes sure be has enough time to spend at his Central New Jersey home with his wife Kimberly (whom he married in April, 1997; their “honeymoon” was spent in Manhattan during the Grease! run) and his son-and best friend-Joey.
Oh yeah – the answer to your question about Michael Keaton and how hot he was… One word… Batman :rolleyes:
Personally I think they all sucked….
Actually the critics decided he sucked in Batman…
He sure didnt do much after that…
I liked him and Kilmer as the caped crusader. Unfortunately the movies themself went downhill quickly. Clooney looked the part and I like him as an actor, but his Batman film was the worst of the bunch.
The critics were way off the mark if they said the Keaton Batman film sucked it was clearly one of the best comic book adaptations on the big screen. Most of the others I have seen dont hold up very well.
I guess with Batman you need a little “stimulation” to properly enjoy the film :rasta:
Kinda like Altered States. If you saw it without a buzz it was goofy, but in the “proper” frame of mind… DAMN!!! It was like a revelation, especially if you spent anytime in a field populated with cows prior to watching the flick. (OK this probably made sense to Floridians or midwesterners everyone else is scratching their head… Think Mushrooms and you get the drift)
Yeah – how would ya like to take a 1/4 ounce of shrooms and sit in a isolation tank for a while…:3eyes:
