DeNiro, Pacino, Pesci, Scorsese.....The Irishman trailer
 

Holy shit. Probably the last hurrah for these guys. Looks great

This one I am really looking forward to after being hyped for Once upon a time then letdown. Hopefully Scorsese wont make the same mistake.

Definitely looks really good. And with a reportedly / estimated $200 million dollar budget Netflix has a ton riding on this. Really liked the trailer and I hope the de aging special effects won't be too distracting.

Oh and welcome back Mr Pesci!

I've loved these guys in just about everything but some look completely miscast.

DeNiro comes across so unbelievable as an Irishman and looks just like a "Italian Gangster"

Pacino not even close to being like Hoffa despite the heavy makeover

FWIW, he was also Irish in Goodfellas (Jimmy Burke).

DeNiro is 75, Pesci is 76, and Pacino is 79. A geriatric mobster movie.

I want it to be good, but I am not optimistic; none of these guys are what they used to be.

And he wasn't believable as an Irishman in that either. The first time he appears in Goodfellas coming into the illegal gambling den he was 100% Italian but pretending to be Irish. Not believable :shake:

That’s why they are using the advanced CGI de-aging stuff.

Scorsese still has it. I trust him.

Pass. Not putting any more money in DeNiro's pocket.

this.

I'm curious how movement is going to look. CGI de-aging or not. A 75 year old guy just can't move like a 40-something.

Ditto or watch anything he has ever done!

I'm not going to swear off his earlier stuff - that's already bought and paid for and he's simply been in too many of the greatest movies ever made that I love. There's also a big difference between the person he was and the raging, noxious buffoon he is now. At least I hope so.

I've got Taxi Driver on DVD and over years have seen it 20 times. I'll never watch it again. It's amazing how these guys all become so political once they made it and don't need the money anymore. Now if Pacino became a jerk, I might have a problem, I still haven't watched Dog Day Afternoon quite enough times. Then again, all I would have to do is put on 88 minutes, the worse piece of crap Pacino has ever made. A better title would of been Cell Phone.

Will watch, dont have a Netflix sub anymore though, but ill sub for this! Plus i need to finish off a few other of their shows!

Also, he's probably always been the way he is, just didnt feel the need to speak up until recently for good reason! Dont really need to get into all that, no point really! Anyways, like i said, once it hits Netflix, will watch!

I'd watch it if I had Netflix.

And when was the last time Joe Pesci was in a movie?

Regular acting roll says 2010, before that 2006. been a while!

Stopped reading at DeNiro. Hard pass.

I'll agree that De Niro probably hasn't changed all that much, not nearly as his recent antics might suggest to a casual viewer.

But I doubt that his newfound vocality is all that ideological or actually all that genuine.

I believe he's genuinely passionate, but I'd almost put money on it stemming from some incredibly petty interpersonal interaction[s] over a broad history.

Maybe one of his sidepieces found Trump rude, or one of his sidepieces used to bang him too, or Trump badmouthed on of his precious TriBeCA/SoHo soirees or a dish at one of his restaurants.

Quite possibly, some of Trump's character traits that led to electoral success struck a little close to home to some traits that therapists have been working to eradicate in De Niro himself.

Whatever it is, I am confident it's more a matter of clashing egos than a matter of clash of heartfelt philosophies.

If nothing else, De Niro doesn't strike me as a philosopher, to say the least.

I will definitely see it. I mean, it's going to be on Netflix right? Easy enough. The stuff they are doing to make them look younger is also fascinating.

Maybe he has, maybe he hasn't. I certainly don't require the people who entertain me to share my beliefs; if I did, I'd pretty much be relegated to country music and cowboy movies. My favorite band is the Eagles, and from everything I've heard about Don Henley I wouldn't last in a conversation with him for two minutes. But Henley is smart enough to know where his bread is buttered - it's not hip urban millennials who fill the stadiums to watch him play - it's old farts like me. So he keeps his mouth shut about how much he thinks me and my worldview suck, at least publicly. And that's fine. My deal with Henley is he sings, and I pay to listen. Nothing more.

But DeNiro doesn't roll that way. There's a certain amount of gas I'll tolerate from these elitist cockbags, because I understand the bubble they inhabit. But he crossed the line, and I'm done with him and anything he does going forward.

Won't stop me from watching a 30 year old masterpiece like Goodfellas, though. Just like Alec Baldwin being a similar blowhard douche now won't stop me from watching Hunt for Red October, or Spacey being a perverted molesting creep won't stop me from watching L.A. Confidential. All that stuff's been in the books for a long time.

DeNiro playing Frank Sturgis?

Well, if your a Netflix subscriber you already have.

Honest question -- why don't you like DeNiro?

Oh for ****'s sake, you know damned well why I don't like him. Trying to keep politics out of this thread/forum. :shake:

actors have been opinionated blow hard dicks about politics since there was a such thing as an actor. You have to separate out the movie from the actor when politics are not anywhere in the movie. It’s a Scorsese gangster movie. Those ****ing rock.

De Niro was on SNL, I can't believed I watched a couple skits before I changed the channel but every line he was saying he had to read on the cue cards it was so obvious.

I have no interest in watching this movie either.

ROFL:rolleyes:

Nah, it's just Trump is categorically one of the biggest pieces of shit to ever hold the president office, but you have no morals or standards so you can't see beyond your two little feet.

Hey cockbag, keep it in DC.

Wait - not even Midnight Run?!



Ronin was a very underrated De Niro flick, imo. Anybody remember that one?

I have successfully insulated myself from the stupid. What did DeNiro say?

That was a good one, could've had a better ending though.

We really need to stop disliking people because of their political views. Both Republicans and Democrats do it.

Just rewatched this for the 50th time. LOVE that movie :clap:

Release date set:

November 1st in theaters

November 27th on Netflix

https://birthmoviesdeath.com/2019/08...es-all-of-them

Sounds like this is clocking in at 3.5 hrs long.

looks good

Reviews are filtering out


Consensus is: A Masterpiece

Currently 100% on RT. Sounds like the de aging special effects aren't so distracting. Good to know!

Anyone seeing it in the theater?

Two weeks from yesterday can't get here soon enough

Premieres tomorrow or early this morning is my guess.

Watched it last night on Netflix. Watching Pacino and Deniro act together was great to see. Scorsese and mob movies are always entertaining. But 3.5+ hours? Netflix should have made this a limited series.

Yea, I’m
About an hour in. Will have to watch in pieces

Didn’t realize Harvey Keitel was in this too. Scorcese really brought out the all star team lineup.

Yep, even Lois the babysitter has a significant role in this one. Several others from mob related shows from HBO as well.

Scorsese put the band back together for this one, its like a greatest hits reunion tour.

Wasn’t impressed

Seeing 70 year old guys trying to play and sing their greatest hits isn't always so great

Bruce Springsteen did a show last week at the Stone Pony and one of buddys who was there commented on how we are all old and can't outrun Father Time no matter how hard we try.

This movie was overrated AF. Complete snore fest

That would still have been great to see though.

So, it was not GoodFellows 2?

No because Casino was Goodfellas 2.

Really?

It has some Instant classic scenes.

“that’s what you wear to a meeting?”
“Don’t be late to a meeting “. “More than 10 minutes late, that’s saying something “

Great scene!

I went ahead and started watching it the other night - got nearly halfway through.

I'm not sure if I'll finish it or not. Just feels like been there, done that, with better material, more than once. I mean, how many retreads of the Scorcese/DeNiro/Pesci Lowlife Greaseball Show do we need? After a while it's just like another Jason Bourne movie, with big meals instead of car chases.

Deniro was great in the Joker- I really liked the part where his dumb ass got shot dead on camera.

It’s definitely slower paced than those other gangster films, but it’s still really, really good.

Ultimately it’s pretty sad. The last half hour or so is about aging and dying alone.

That sounds really great.

Hour in, I'm having trouble talking myself into finishing it.

This isn't a slam, but I think it's funny that so many people live-stream everything they do. I do it too. It's just ridiculous that we can't finish a movie or a quarter of a football game without getting online to opine. I've even seen people do chapter by chapter book reviews.

That says a lot about this movie for me. If it wasn't so boring so far I wouldn't have paused it to browse CP. I can promise you I didn't pause Once Upon a Time in Hollywood once last night.

Uh, I started watching it at 1:00 o’clock in the morning and stopped when I couldn’t stay awake anymore. That being said, if it was truly great it would have kept me up. It didn’t.

I gave up. Big Scorsese fan but this movie sucks.

Deberg says the big payoff for sitting through 3.5 hours of a snooze-fest is a look into aging and dying alone.
So hang in there!

It's the first truly interactive movie. It's so long the audience ages and dies along with the characters.

Is there anyone familiar with the "Killing Jimmy Hoffa" doc on Amazon who can say if this added anything you might not get from the source material?

I don't mind Scorsese et al dramatizing this stuff, but as the consumer appetite for true crime documentaries has grown, they've gotten good at assembling interviews and file footage to give a pretty good picture of events, and it's often just plain better to get the information straight from the mouth of the wiseguys and skells who were involved.

Scorcese taking some heat online because AnnA Paquin and Jessie Plemons have about 20 words of dialogue between them.

Although Paquins character ends up being fairly import to the film.

Movie is based on the book about Sheeran (DeNero character). He claims he was the one who killed Hoffa. But many have disputed it.

So obviously the movie is coming from Sheerans point of view.

The facts of this movie have fallen apart. 99.9% fiction

How do you make a movie around Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance based on facts when no one knows the facts?

The movie is based on a book told by Sheeran.

It wasn’t as good as I wanted it to be and not as bad as some have said. Soundtrack could have been better which is something Scorsese usually has on point (Goodfellas, Casino, and the Departed come to mind.) Any good links disputing the storyline for my lazy ass?

Watched the first hour of this last night. Will probably finish it tonight. The CGI they used to make the characters look younger is distracting as hell.

I actually think the CGI was good, but our brains are wired to know what these guys really look like , so yea it’s distracting a little bit.

Haven't seen it yet but can anyone tell me how this Sheeran killed Hoffa theory stacks up? There are so many claims with this and MLK that it's hard for me take any seriously.

It was solid. Dragged quite a bit, but a good watch.

It is. I don’t understand why people are complaining? What did they expect?

It’s still very well made and the cast is beyond Iconic.

You would watch Expendables 10, Deberg. Tell it true....

It's slow. If it had been a theatrical release, there would be an hour of cellulose acetate lying on the floor. It had some good moments. Will watch again to stitch together details.
