Vomiting is not better than diarrhea
My point is excellent
And Goodfellas is NOT diarrhea
My point still stands and is still excellent

I think he’s a solid director, but many of his movies are flawed or just good, not great. Goodfellas is his best though, and an all time classic.

Nah. I've never been a big fan.

Look, I exaggerate about him a lot, mostly to mess with TVG, especially when he's dishing it out. But I think we all know that's all in good fun.

Scorsese isn't a hack. I just don't think he's the masterful genius that others seem to think he is. Like Anders, I think he has some good films but many (most that I've seen) are flawed. And I get that I'm in a very small minority but I really do not like Goodfellas. It just does nothing for me. Ditto The Departed (though, it is better than Goodfellas). I think that's really the only "edgy" thing about my Scorsese takes. But it's not an affect. It's an honest opinion. I'm not trying to be shocking or contrarian or trolly.

But Taxi Driver, Last Temptation of Christ, Gangs of New York, Raging Bull, these are all good to get films. And there's a lot I still haven't seen.

Watched Ponyo this weekend with my neice and nephew.

Totoro
Spirited Away
Howl's moving castle
Ponyo

They've all been great though. No disappointments so far.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Yep. And Shane Black’s best.
I still need to see it. I have no idea what's taken me so long. I was so excited when I first saw the trailer.

It's streaming on Hulu now. I enjoyed it, though I'm surprised Trag did as well considering it has the Siobhan actress in a pretty central role.
