Could someone out there explain to me why exactly Goodfellas is airing right now on Lifetime? Lifetime? I mean, Goodfellas is one of the finest movies of the last 20 years - a blooy but stylish Mob epic. And while I'm not exactly part of the demographic of Lifetime, I watch it fairly regularly, both as a TV critic and as a normal viewer. But I'm boggled as to what the two have in common. I'm not saying that women as a whole would want nothing to do with watching Mafia guys whack each other and eat sphaghetti with their mothers - I'm just asking what specific aspect of the film the Lifetime programmers thought would appeal to their core audience. It can't be the scene when Lorraine Bracco stuffed the gun down her panties - I think that was more for the guys. Just guessing.

Am I missing something here?

Loraine Brassco felt so nervous at this scene, I was there, I said ‘You don’t have the confidence and winked at her. She literally said ‘Honey, you got nothing on me, and walked away. Then, when filming the scene, Loraine said that she wanted me there to see, just me alone with her, so I went in a bit embarrassed, she did the scene right in front of me and winked and stuck her tongue out at me and said, don’t worry, we’re not all as brave as me and walked away making sure to spat in my ear doing so.
