Scarface Tattoo special

"scarface tattoo" is the most popular search term bringing people to this blog. Therefore I felt I should capitalise on this by showcasing another, um, beautiful example of Tony based body art:
I can't help finding this a particular rodent-like Tony. Oh well.
Excitingly, I found this on a blog post which reflects the themes of this very blog!
Favourite lines:
"It did poorly because it was a very bad movie. Not that it really matters."
"The "Scarface Philosophy" has been lovingly embraced by all kinds of young dummies who idealize a lifestyle of blind aggression, ambition and greed. And paranoia and droogs. Every syllable mumbled by Al Pacino in this movie has been emblazoned on jackets and shirts as ride-or-die mantras and his face is essentially a flag for the independent nation of Fuck You-stonia."
And this blogger has assembled a very impressive selection of crappy Montaniana, only some of which I have found. My favourite:
This is not only a quote I am unfamiliar with, it is a spectacularly dull one, and when coupled with one of the few shots of Pacino-as-Montana in which he doesn't look murderous in some way, creates a bathetic air.

Personally, I preferred "Kiss Me Kate"

The Shakespeare-Scarface interface even extends to The Taming Of The Shrew

Hamlet and Scarface

While there don't seem to be quite as many Hamlet/Scarface mashups as Macbeth/Scarface ones, there are still more than a few examples on the auld 'Tube.

For instance (with a rather jarring big band swing soundtrack)

Nixon as Scarface



From this article "AmeriKa dämmerung? – Parte II: L'eKonomia" on Carmilla Online which seems to be a radical left Italian website.
