That was a great SNL skit.
IIRC he was saying that to Billy Idol being played by Sting. He was answering Idol, and Idol had just said, "I think your a boring old fart."

The funniest part was when he told Steve Lawrence to go beat him up.

I was watching that show and I could not understand one word that Bob Dylan said that night and I'm sure Frank couldn't either.

Thank you for mentioning the original "Ocean's 11" movie. It was in every sense a much better movie than the recent one. And don't even get me started about another abomination in the works called "Ocean's 12".
There is simply no comparison between them.
That last scene at the funeral when they all look to the next guy in line as the body is being cremated is dead pan comedic genius.

Sinatra/Jobim, with Antonio Carlos Jobim. I think I'll put in on right now...

I'm not familiar with "ranks", does that mean you agree?

Oh, I'm aware of the Hamilton "oeuvre"--it goes waaaayyyy back to the late 50s, I think....First Bite and "Zorro" were actually vehicles for his belated comeback, sort of like the way "Pulp Fiction" was for Travolta. Sort of.

Any man that would punch Ava Gardner in the face and was a mafia goomba doens't get any praise from me.

I hadn't listened to Pat Metheny for years.You don't know what you've been missing. "The Way Up" is the finest work by a jazz guitarist in decades IMHO. It's on eenormous, breathtaking composition - groundbreaking. He performs the entire piece live in concert- the best concert I've seen in a long time.

If you want a treat...search YOUTUBE using "sinatra jobim". and you'll see a rare performance by them together on a TV special.
I'd post the link but the YOUTUBE search feature is down right now.
