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.

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.

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.

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
