Why does this sickly manlet make so many tough guy movies?
Why does this sickly manlet make so many tough guy movies?
because he is good at it
He was. Everything in the last 20 years has been an embarrassment though. Scorsese is a man who has simply lived too long to come away with his legacy intact. The Irishmen is going to be the final humiliation.
Humiliation? Pesci DeNiro and Scorsese making a vintage mob movie?
Run along little plebposter, there must be a marvel thread somewhere with your name on it just crying out for someone of your 'caliber'.
Its a fantasy thing, he wishes to no longer be a weak manlet. He portrays characters he wishes to be.
He actually hates macho men. He's stated that on numerous occasions.
Gangs of New York, The Departed, and Wolf of Wall Street were great.
Looks like someone has taken the boomer bait. Never mind the fact that none of those three have done anything of value since the 90s. Now we're getting some straight to netflix shitfest.
>Everything in the last 20 years has been an embarrassment though
shittaste. hes still made great movies in the last 20 years
You just have way too high expectations from him. He's literally never made a bad film. Just ones that aren't as good as Raging Bull or Goodfellas.
imagine being this misguided. all of his flicks have always been top quality, its the actors who embarrass themselves outside of scorsese‘s work.
Hugo was good too. Gangs and Wolf were not really classics though, just merely good.
Because hes a manlet and wishes he was a macho man lmao
Bringing Out The Dead and Silence were "nice try" tier. Everything else is outright TRASH.
Silence is the only film he has made in a long time that you might call great. And that is not a film that is going to satisfy just about anyone.
I guess. Whatever you say.
Bringing out the dead is a masterful piece of work. A classic.
lmao when will they ever learn
You're entitled to your opinion. But most critics(whose opinion matters) seem to disagree.
Gangs of New York, The Departed, and Wolf of Wall Street, The Aviator, Shutter Island. were all great movies some of them better than the other but still great nonethless.
Isnt it obvious? He's 5'4. My wife is taller than him.
>Silence was an embarrassment
I don't know if you could go as far as 'great'. Goodfellas is great. Casino and taxi driver.
I don't think there is room on a 100 films to see before you die list for - Gangs of New York, The Departed, and Wolf of Wall Street, The Aviator, Shutter Island.
All those movies are absolute shite and represent the worst of latter era Scorsese. Someone should have taken him out behind a shed and shot a bullet in the back of his head as soon as he made The Aviator. If I saw the man today I'd kill him myself. He's made some of my all time favourites but at this point I'd be filled with nothing but a blinding rage at the sight of him.
There is room for The Departed.
Now that I've said it though, Shutter island is pretty fucking classy. It's hard to make a good horror film.
And a horror movie that is deep and meaningful.
Taxi Driver is great. Casino and Goodfellas are pretty capeshit when you look at them through adult eyes. Those are barely films about human beings. Just flashy cartoon movies with a mob setting for boomer appeal.
Jack's haminess keeps it from being truly great though. He just plays 'Jack' as usual, and is not really truly intimidating or convincing as a Whitey Bulger clone.
In an "all time" list, maybe not. But The Departed is definitely in the top 10 of the best movies of the last decade.
Everything after the first four words is a disgrace to your ancestors. Now go get your fuckin' shinebox.
>I don't think there is room on a 100 films to see before you die list for - Gangs of New York, The Departed, and Wolf of Wall Street, The Aviator, Shutter Island.
that's the issue with your point though. a top 100 films list would be full with masterpieces and not 'great' movies what i called them.
opinion. many would disagree seeing the ratings from audience and critics everywhere on the web.
I can always sit and watch it, but No, it really isn't bud.
>But The Departed is definitely in the top 10 of the best movies of the last decade.
Maybe if it's 2009 and you're an IMDBcore 16 year old
You don't know how to understand characters and plot.
the first comment to unironicaly make my blood boil. go watch capeshit mr. "adult"
Audiences are retards and modern day critics are the only group I trust even less than audiences.
so everyone is "wrong" but you? got it.
All of the films you mentioned deserve a place you fucking chicken hawk
The characters in Goodfellas would be right at home in the type of pretend mature capeshit that has swearing and violence. Every character is a walking meme.
You seem a little confused about what the word great implies son.
The don't call them the great pyramids or the Great wall just because they are a bit big.
The word great is easily synonymous with masterpiece.
Hey man, how was your big mac? Huh? Oh it was good. You are not going to describe it as great unless you are a shill shooting an ad. That's how the word fits in context.
You sound like a colossal cunt. Do you have any friends?
Gangs of New York is outright bad. You are not serious about film if you think that film is anything other than a failure.
If you're truly devoted to cinema then you don't get to bring friends.
that's great man
i guess you don't like gangster mob movies?
well then 'good'?
Have you ever met a real full blooded Sicilian? They’re fucking terrifying.
I'm glad someone said it. I haven't watched it for a long time, but I wasn't wholly impressed at the time. Seemed pretty hammish and comic book like. Seemed nothing like what the reality would have been like.
Was the first time Scorsese really looked ungodlike.
What an obnoxious runt of your family you are.
Stay lonely
My top 10
There will be blood
No country for old men
The diving bell and the butterfly
Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind
Oldboy
The pianist
Mullholland Dr.
Punch Drunk Love
The Departed
Requiem for a dream.
To be fair you actually do have the top 10 of IMDB 16 year old lmao.
This man bagged Isabella Rosalini in her prime.
What's yours?
Yeah I still think Scorsese's got it after Silence and have enjoyed his other 21st century movies but you're right
I don't care about movies anymore. I used to like most of the films on your list but the only one I still give half a fuck about now is Mulholland Drive. If you had asked me 10 years ago I would have eagerly told you all about my cool yet widely praised list of 10 films. Now I don't care. None of it matters. Immersing yourself in movies is no substitute for a life. Eventually you'll get bored with it all.
user leapt into the air, 600lbs of pure trenchcoated grace, katana clutched in one massive sweaty hand, and executed a perfect somersault landing in superhero stance on one knee, katana extended artfully backwards and his index finger landing squarely on the enter key as he made this post.
Every window in mom's house blows out instantaneously as he lands, not with the shock of his bulk shaking the house's foundations, but with the pure force of his will and his euphoric incel energy halo.
Bingo. His last good movie was casino. Everything after that is shitpoop
I'm not kidding. I don't see how it's possible to maintain any escapist passion over a long time period if you're not living an otherwise satisfying life. Going off your list, There Will Be Blood, Mulholland Drive, Punch Drunk Love and No Country For Old Men were at one time significant films to me. Now I don't care anymore so I can't name any films I like.
Nothing euphoric about it. It would be great to see value in something.
he could probably beat the shit out of your incel ass
This tbqh
That isn't my list. I would have to spend a fair bit of time looking back over global cinema to make my list.
1) I'm a volcel
2) I have 100 lbs on Marty.
Don't you mean 600? Cutting off his air supply with your girth doesn't really count as beating the shit out of him.
I don't like Marty's movies but I like Marty. He has great taste in classic movies and I'd love to hang out with him for a day and watch The Leopard and Ben Hur. Why he doesn't make something in that style himself?
Partly because Hollywood doesn't like to spend that kind of money these days. They just want to make it, not spend it.
Most people would rather see him make another gangster film with Pesci and DeNiro than rehashing someone else's style of film.
My sides. Is this an excerpt from one of Hannity's hagiographys?
