Gee, Thanks for the Compliment

Daily writing prompt
If humans had taglines, what would yours be?

In the film Once Upon a Time in America, Noodles, played by Robert De Niro, said to Chief Aiello, played by Danny Aiello, “You know, Aiello, for a rotten lousy no-good sonofabitch, you’re not half bad.”

That bit of movie dialogue might not represent my most ideal tagline, but I thought I’d start off the week with a little humor. If you haven’t seen Once Upon a Time in America, it’s Sergio Leone’s best opus, and, in my humble opinion, the only gangster film to rival The Godfather. Also, Ennio Marcone’s film score is the most underrated and underappreciated in cinema history. Happy Monday!
