The bad "V"
Imagine thinking a movie about an emo taxi driver is better than a movie about a super being who saves ALL OF HUMANITY from total annihilation
Casino has the economic aspect which Goodfellas doesn’t. The fall of the mob in Las Vegas to the corporate world.• Casino was unnecessary and just made me want to watch Goodfellas for an additional time, and it felt like someone making a Scorsese knock-off.
Which movie is that? Is this Taxi Driver vs. The Last Temptation Of Christ, or Taxi Driver vs. Superman?Imagine thinking a movie about an emo taxi driver is better than a movie about a super being who saves ALL OF HUMANITY from total annihilation
That’s a spirited defense of that film, nicely done. I also loved the dropping a Marx quote in. 5/5Casino has the economic aspect which Goodfellas doesn’t. The fall of the mob in Las Vegas to the corporate world.
It also removes all the cool elements that Goodfellas has. For all the negatives it’s pretty unarguable that Henry Hill life is cool.
Waking up to your beautiful wife pointing a gun at your head is extremely hot. Rushing to flush bags of coke down the toilet just before the cop break in is exciting.
Casino is far less quotable but imo its a stronger work. It’s full of losers and Joe Pesci character has one of the worst deaths in cinema.
Casino reminds of the Karl Marx - “Capital comes dripping from head to toe, from every pore, with blood and dirt.”
Also this shot

Silence should be in Scorsese's top 5. It's underrated but a brilliant movie end to end.This list made me realize I haven't seen a lot of his movies. But I agree Irishman and Killers are way, way, way too high. Shutter Island should be about middle of the pack, and Gangs a little above it. Their critiques of the films was pretty spot on, just the final rankings were weird. I'd personally go
Taxi Driver
Goodfellas
Raging Bull
After Hours
The Departed
as his top 5.
Top 3 even for me. Pretty flawless.Silence should be in Scorsese's top 5. It's underrated but a brilliant movie end to end.
Yea, I love it.Top 3 even for me. Pretty flawless.
I feel like we might have had this exchange before, that rings a bell! I do agree Driver was great in his part, but having a soft spot for Garfield, I was quite happy with things as they were.Yea, I love it.
The only thing I thought at the time that would make it better would be if Adam Driver was the lead and Andrew Garfield was the 'other' priest. Not that Garfield did a bad job or anything, but I felt that Driver really nailed his limited role.

Just order the novel a few days back. Interesting to see how it differs to the film. Also the cover design is amazingSilence should be in Scorsese's top 5. It's underrated but a brilliant movie end to end.
Let me know how it is - and agree with the cover. That's pretty powerful.Just order the novel a few days back. Interesting to see how it differs to the film. Also the cover design is amazing
He's come a long way. Used to drop clangers left and right, but now *chef's kiss*. Just kidding. I have no idea what his old posts were like, only that he got the "most improved poster" medal.He's very good at what he does

I honestly think extortionate cinema prices for movies and popcorn etc has something to do with it. It's just not worth it.Tweet

You must be in an affluent and like-minded area. Manchester odeon IMAX was 14.99 to see dune 2 on a Sunday in the premium section.I honestly think extortionate cinema prices for movies and popcorn etc has something to do with it. It's just not worth it.
Dune tickets in Odeon premium seats were £20 each, the regular seats were £15 each...and this is their off peak (weekday prices) - it goes even pricier if you go on a weekend.
A popcorn and drink combo was £11.
I enjoy going to the cinema, but it's a costly hobby these days.
I remember the days when I was in school, and I went to see the Matrix sequels for like, £5 or £6.
Its a bit of both here. The quality of home movie systems has vastly improved over the past decade, which makes it a lot easier to stay at home, particularly after the pandemic. The inflation of prices to go out has obviously not helped either.I honestly think extortionate cinema prices for movies and popcorn etc has something to do with it. It's just not worth it.

Exactly this. The movies are incredibly expensive now. If I go with the family (four of us), during a peak time and get food and drink for all of us, it’s about $150-180. Ridiculous.Its a bit of both here. The quality of home movie systems has vastly improved over the past decade, which makes it a lot easier to stay at home, particularly after the pandemic.

Me going to the Barbie film and giving it a 9/10 review
Or RollerCoaster Tycoon! They could charge extra for 3D too!I feel like sim city would make for a better movie
If Ryan Gosling is willing to lose 20 pounds of muscle he'd make a decent Guybrush Threepwood.They should really do a Monkey Island - the movie.

Could be interesting if it goes at capitalism the way Barbie did at the patriarchy, though I expect it'll be more of a Cannonball Run-esque escapade.Tweet
