Kingdom of Heaven scales the action scenes a bit, and actually provides a back story. This should be the #1 film of the weekend. Orlando Bloom does his best, though he's not quite there yet. But you could see flashes of Errol Flynn in him.

Sesso is no longer where it should be so Brucolino was the night's destination. Got in there in time around 9. The Mozzarella In Carrozza was excellent, and the pasta and pork chops were good as well. Waiter wasn't as attentive (hey i can pay too, you know), but this is the Upper West Side, and despite the suit, I'm not white.

Wanted to drop by Cafe Lalo but it was raining and the chilly wind didn't help matters. Oh well. Still quite something to look back at.

Interesting side note: Saddam Hussein took pride in the fact that he was born in the same town as Salahuddin. Salahuddin wasnt an Arab. He was a Kurd. And it's ironic that despite the fact that Saddam billed his generalship on the same level as Salahuddin, he showed no compunction about gassing the Kurds in his hometown.

Mozzarella in carozza.. Blek. Just a fancy name for a grilled cheese sandwich. Nyaahahahaa!!

Au contraire ... the cheese is not sandwiched between 2 slices of your everyday bread ... the dough coats and boxes the moz in. Its so yummy that you snickering blathering fool will like it once you taste it.

Ok so it's a baked cheese sandwich. Nyahahahaa!!

Can't get real mozzarella in the supermarkets here. Real moz is a fresh cheese and is supposed to be eaten onthe day it's made. It won't make the trip from NY (or Italy) to here.
