I’m very hard to insult, anyway. One time, Robert Smigel arrived for a TV critics press conference, with the Triumph puppet tucked under his arm. Asked if I’d be okay if he opened by taking some shots at me. I said that was fine. So then he roasted me with some fat jokes to warm up the crowd. A badge of honor.

I’m not actually trying to insult Alan for the record

Stupendous backhanded insult, DRed.

Death, unfortunately, has become less “cinematic” in Scorsese’s movies as he’s gotten older and I’d guess it’s the same way in the new one. There wasn’t a lot of music or fancy cinematography or mise-en-scene around the Jimmy Hoffa killing in The Irishman, or really any of them.

Is there any better use of a song in a movie than the piano part in Layla when all the shit starts hitting the fan?

Nope, there isn’t.

Also a big fan of the juxtaposition of Atlantis, and Billy Batts getting violently whacked.

Most of the people I know who saw KOTFM really enjoyed it, but I’m not sure I can sit in a theater for that long. I guess you could say I have a TV critic’s attention span for movies.

ugh, it’s so hard to keep up with player valuation, the roster rules and incoming league revenue resources – I would have held the line at 23 million per year…

i don’t know, maybe 25 million for the role he plays isn’t too bad…it’s tough to pay him though with: jalen/RJ/jhart/grimes/DDV on the roster…

if he plays well this year he’ll make at least 27 million a year on his next contract…if he plays poorly, he’ll be lucky to get 18 million a year…

i wouldn’t bet against quik…shit, we probably should have just paid him…

man, i would make a terrible gm…

I’ll watch the hell out of Casino. It’s just that it stands in the shadow of Goodfellas.

And so does Wolf of Wall St., for that matter (which has the exact same thesis as Goodfellas, just about a different subculture), but I find Wolf of Wall St. significantly more fun, probably owing to the lack of violence.
