I tried to read her article but I got distracted by the awesome trailer above. What a great film.

Yeah, I like that scene and I have no problems with the CGI in it, no more than in the rest of the film... I think it might be time to admit I'm a fanboy, though. Marty is my Marvel.

One thing...

Wow, that looks bland.

I think you might be demonstrating a failure to show appreciation.

Yeah, but... the content is not the same. With that criterion, every Fellini, every Bergman, every Woody Allen movie is the same.

Hugo is beautiful. And whoever thinks Irishman is the same movie as Goodfellas or Casino wasn't paying attention to any of those.

My lifelong dream is meeting Scorsese, and if I actually did, I think I could do nothing but cry like a baby.

Hahah yeah that was priceless.

I think Scorsese felt obliged to show those two assassination attempts because they were a big part of the real story and probably a huge deal at the time, coming...

Also, this is probably the best featurette about The Irishman so far, and I'm watching them all. What he says about his meeting with Frank Serpico is gold.
...

Huh, no, dude, come on. Frank is clearly not a guy in touch with his emotions. He obviously cares a lot about his daughters, he just doesn't know how to relate to a child, in contrast with Hoffa who...

Has anyone made a meme yet with "don't hassle the Hoffa"? I'd like to see that.

Well, I obviously disagree. The lenght of some scenes is a deliberate choice, I think. For example, in Frank's homage party, Russell and Sheeran trying to talk sense into Hoffa are obviously long...

Eh, the last thing on my mind while watching this were goddamn Marvel superheroes and movies. I remember back when I was a kid I would have killed for the amount of superhero feature films that we...

I intended to see just a few minutes of this on Netflix to pass the time and ended up watching the whole thing again. Goddamn, what a masterpiece. I'd be shocked to see a better film this year. I...

For me, at least, the first shot of young De Niro was indeed jarring and uncomfortable (it reminded me of The Polar Express) and made me afraid the entire film was going to feel like that, but as...

Ok, now my collected thoughts - this is just a beautiful work of art. The running time is controversial on its own merit, but it's justified because it's a story focused on how choices made in the...

Hahah I wondered about this as well, specially since Scorsese basically still gave it the I Heard You Paint Houses title card - it's way more prominent in the actual movie than The Irishman.

Just...

That premise is ridiculous and it's not what I'm talking about. I would argue that state-subsidized filmmaking leads to movies that wouldn't be made otherwise due to their limited commercial appeal.

Huh, that sucks. My theater in Buenos Aires was packed.

It's actually a decent enough film, but I get tired easily of late period Woody Allen - I think every once in a while he manages something affecting and surprising like Wonder Wheel, but mostly it's...

I agree that the script could have been subtler. I disagree that this film is somehow a menace to society, and I'm aware that's not the argument you were making.

The Killing Joke actually functions as a blueprint for this movie in many ways. And I kind of agree that Phillips could have been a lot subtler in his writing and I said as much when I first watched...

Well, thank you for the data, but Joker is made on the shadow of the small percentage of mentally ill people who turn out to be dangerous for others, one of which shot up a theater showing a Batman...

Huh... What the hell? Mentally ill people are potentially dangerous. Not all of them, of course, but... why is this even up for discussion?
