Week 5: Heat

Dear Avid Reader,

Man I hate Waingro. Don't you? Do you know someone that is like Waingro? I hope not.

Look at Cheritto's face when he first meets the guy. He almost doesn't want to let him into the truck. He thinks about it. There is a gut reaction to Waingro. He tells him to "stop talking" after just a few seconds of conversation. Waingro makes people want to shut him up.

Want Some Pie?

I mean seriously I could literally burn my TV for having had his image on the screen. During the robbery he hits a guard because he stumbles toward him. After being told it's because the guards are disoriented from the explosion, he still shoots the guard. Later he explains the guard was "making a move" and he "had to get it on". At the diner, it's obvious that the other members of the crew are giving him the cold shoulder. Waingro can't pick up on social cues.

Holy jumping grasshoppers in June I hate this guy. Waingro then procures the services of a lady of the evening. After fishing for compliments with regards to his lovemaking ability, he kills her. Why? Why does Waingro need to kill this women? What is freaking wrong with this guy? Waingro doesn't think.

I Am Cowboy, Looking For Anything Heavy

Great Ceaser's ghost in a tube top walking down the road and laughing at a Bazooka Joe cartoon I despise Waingro. At the bar he gives the bartender his resume of prison terms. He regards himself so highly, but he sucks so badly. Asking for "anything heavy". If you could handle "heavy" stuff, then why do you need Billy Rickett to gain an in with the bartender Waingro? And that whole "grim reaper is with you" bit is so over the top. Does he really think he's cool enough to pull that line off? I'm shocked that girl didn't laugh in his face. She probably cracked a smile and that's why she wound up dead. Waingro is a total idiot.

Then comes the betrayal. What a tool. What a pneumatic, kick-start on sale at Sears but I got it at a garage sale when I stopped with my sister cause she's trying to outfit her college room. Waingro betrays McCauley to Van Zant by giving him the location of McCauley's next hit. Once again, Waingro exaggerates his abilites by claiming to know McCauley better than he does. They took down some "major scores" according to Waingro. Man that guy just deserves it doesn't he? He totally overplays his hand. Then he turns state's evidence when Zan Zandt ends up dead. Like a punk. Waingro is a punk.

I Got Some Move I Could Make Here, Probably Be A Big Help To You

Oh by my rage filled fists and feet I want to hit Waingro. You know what, here's the thing. There are a lot of things to hate about Waingro. But the truly repulsive thing about Waingro, is his ability to stay alive. He has just enough ability to eek by. Billy Rickett thought enough of him to vouch for him. And he did get in with McCauley's crew somehow. Waingro realizes that it's McCauley outside the door in the hotel and he escapes McCauley when he tries to kill him in the diner parking lot. I mean he's such an awful human being, but you kind of have to give him a little credit. Waingro is so frustrating.

In the movie Casino, Nicky Santoro (Joe Pesci) describes a person that he has no confidence in as a "guy could screw up a cup of coffee". Only he didn't say that quote exactly as I wrote it. Waingro is that guy. He lives. He survives. Despite his best efforts, he has small successes. You could say a lot about people like Waingro, but I choose to say this: Waingro could screw up a cup of coffee.

Until Next I Blog,

James

Such a pure, unadulterated dirtbag. I look Waingro up every now and then because knowing that he gets taken out in the movie somehow helps me deal with the various Waingros of the world. What an awesome movie. Still one of the best.
