Now this is a post a can get behind. Not a chance I will watch a 3.5 hour movie in 1-2 sittings.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Glad to be of some small service

What about the horrible song with Glen?

Solid old school movie, with great acting. Really enjoyed it.

They should have looked younger than they did when jumping back in time, but it didn’t really bother me.

[Anders]

Makes sense.

Still thinking about that phone call. Damn that was hard.

I was very excited to watch this and convinced raz to watch it with me on a Saturday night but before the halfway mark we both decided to call it quits and got a divorce ... Ezra chose me. It reminds me more of casino than goodfellers.

It's a reference to that terrible lyric in the new song Eddie performed with Glen.

[dimejinky99]

I haven’t heard it

[epilogue]

ha!

I couldn't get past the aging effects CGI -- too distracting throughout. It made the acting feel muted and a step removed from reality -- almost as if we were seeing an echo of their performances. De Niro's eyes, in particular, looked off whenever he was de-aged. Pacino's face looked like it was floating independent of his head in some scenes. I think they were mostly successful with Pesci. All of this caused a disconnect that made the 3.5 hours FEEL like 3.5 hours because I was never truly immersed in the story.

Side note: based on his appearance in the half-hour conversation featurette with Scorsese, Pesci, De Niro and Pacino, Joe is trying hard to hold onto his youth...and failing.

Welcome back

Watched this last night. Fantastic film.
