Reservoir Dogs (1992) - The debut feature film of director, Quentin Tarantino, has become a cult classic. In this tale of a jewelry heist gone horribly wrong, Buscemi plays Mr. Pink, a skinny, sleazy, foul-mouthed little weasel with the character of a snake. With that greasy hair and those haven't-slept-in-a-week bulging eyeballs Buscemi steals the movie.

Favorite Buscemi scene: In the opening scene, eating breakfast in the diner, Buscemi goes off on a rant, explaining his anti-tipping policy in the most profane way possible. Admit it dammit... you sort of agree with him. Any waitresses out there may want to skip this scene.

Airheads (1994) - About a group of loser musicians who take over a radio station to get their song played on the air. The movie is pretty disposable, but Steve Buscemi saves it by playing Rex, a skinny, sleazy, foul-mouthed little weasel with the character of a snake. With that long greasy hair and those haven't-slept-in-a-week bulging eyeballs, Buscemi steals the movie.

Favorite Buscemi scene: Every scene he's in is mesmerizing, but the one where he played air guitar in prison is a goodie. Buscemi makes the "F" word sound almost Shakespearean.

Fargo (1996) - One of the all-time great films, Fargo is about a financially strapped car salesman who hires two men to kidnap his wife for a ransom. Of course, one of the two men is none other than Steve Buscemi, who plays small-time crook, Carl Showalter, a skinny, sleazy, foul-mouthed little weasel with the character of a snake. With that greasy hair and those haven't-slept-in-a-week bulging eyeballs, Buscemi steals the movie.

Favorite Buscemi scene: When he's riding with his accomplice, trying to get him to talk, until a cop stops them and all hell breaks loose. Also, the scenes after he gets shot in the face are especially Buscemi-worthy.

Con Air (1997) - This action/thriller features a star-studded cast with Nicolas Cage, John Cusack, John Malkovich and, of course, the great Steve Buscemi playing serial killer, Garland 'The Marietta Mangler' Greene, a skinny, sleazy, foul-mouthed little weasel with the character of a snake. With that greasy hair and those haven't-slept-in-a-week bulging eyeballs, Buscemi steals the movie.

Favorite Buscemi scene: Buscemi singing, "He's Got The Whole World In His Hands". Imagine Hannibal Lector with the face of a frog.

The Wedding Singer (1998) - A comedy about a wedding singer who gets left standing at the altar. This is a very funny Adam Sandler movie and Buscemi has just a small role but it's a goodie as he plays best man, Dave Veltri, a skinny, sleazy, foul-mouthed little weasel with the character of a snake. With that greasy hair and those haven't-slept-in-a-week bulging eyeballs, Buscemi steals the movie.

Favorite Buscemi scene: Any scene where he's drunk, which is pretty much throughout the movie. Another hilarious bit is at the end of the movie, is when he sings the old Spandau Ballet hit, "True". It's actually nightmarish in it's own way.

The Sopranos (2002-2006) - This hit HBO series revolves around the life of New Jersey Mafia boss, Tony Soprano. Steve Buscemi is in his element here in the role of Soprano's cousin, Tony Blundetto, a skinny, sleazy, foul-mouthed little weasel with the character of a snake. With that greasy hair and those haven't-slept-in-a-week bulging eyeballs, Buscemi steals each episode.

Favorite Buscemi scene: Any scene where he shows that uncontrollable temper. The skinny little bastard can actually fight.

Well, we had hoped, for our Steve Buscemi celebration, to feature Steve as our site mascot for the month, replacing our beloved Igor. We know of no higher tribute. We contacted Steve's management company and spoke to his manager, hoping to get permission. Well, it hasn't exactly turned out the way we had hoped. Apparently, Steve was demanding a piece of the site's profits in exchange for the use of his image on the site heading. When we explained that there are no profits here at Wasted Wits, he flew into a rage. Thinking he was maybe, doing one of Steve's character's as a joke, we played along, using the "F" word as many times as we possibly could. Big mistake.

Now, we're unable to contact Steve at all. So, Igor remains on the heading of our home page. In light of these unfortunate events, we thought we'd show you how cool it would have looked to have the incredible Steve Buscemi as our site mascot for a month.

Unfortunately, we underestimated the sensitivity, not to mention, the attraction to cold hard cash, that these Hollywood types seem to have. So, be that as it may and have that as it will... we hope you enjoyed our tribute to the... still great... Steve Buscemi.
