Stuffing and football

Both awful things, try again

Agreed.

For some reason that sounds like a shitty combination.

Looks like a Turkey at least.

well, i'm trying to watch the irishman... but there's a dog in the next yard, outside, who won't stop barking. meh.

very well acted. nice to see pacino, deniro, and pesci all together. thus ends my review of the film.

I'll probably see it. I don't hold gangster movies to be in such high regard, though. So we'll see how it is...

[zombie]

to be clear, i wasn't giving it a recommend. so you can't blame me if it isn't for you. ;p

[Jason]

Pretty damn good deal here, guys. I almost took the plunge and paid the whole 65-70 bucks for it. But thankfully I waited and it dropped to 39.99. You get the movie, action figure and an 18X24 poster.

I watched it today too. Its good but very long

[Headhunter]

I honestly wouldn’t have cut a thing from The Irishman and I bet it was a tight squeeze to get to 3.5 hours.

After sleeping on it, the only thing I don't care for is the cgi de-aging. It's less distracting for most of the movie, but early on, it's pretty distracting. The rest of the time, it's mostly how bright the blue eyes keep popping out.

And I was wondering how you ended up with Worst Taste...

People are hyping it up everywhere, but I don't let hype affect the way I view a movie. I get a good idea of what to expect from it on my own before going in.

According to the trivia it was originally at 4 hours.

Some are great. Love Heat, Pulp Fiction, Casino, among others... but chest-puffing seems to be the #1 goal in a lot of them and I just ain't buying it half the time. Too often is it tryhard and way too cheesy when it's supposed to be serious.

[DancesWithWerewolves]

There's a lot there in that 3.5 hours, I can't think of anything that should be cut either. I mostly didn't feel the time go by, and I watched it late at night after a workday.

[Slaughterhouserock]

the satanic panic on shudder (or actually amazonprime. i'm always confusing the two. ) is 2006. i don't think that's the one he meant?

Definitely not. I was talking about this one:

when i think of gangster movies, a few of my favorites are.... the professional, once upon a time in america, state of grace, heat, bonnie and clyde, reservoir dogs, king of new york, donnie brasco, eastern promises. and of course the godfather 1&2, goodfellas and the departed are a given.

Leon: The Professional and Bonnie & Clyde were fantastic. I barely remember Leon, though. Still need to remedy Once Upon a Time in -Hollywood- -the West- America. The Godfather bored me to tears, but that was 15 years ago or so.

Come to think of it, the only de-aging I didn't really notice was Pacino's. Seemed to work as good on him as Samuel L Jackson's in Captain Marvel.

Now that I ranked it on my flickchart, it's come it at 3rd for the year for me, behind Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and Doctor Sleep.
