I mean, serious:

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

I almost LAUGHED OUT LOUD.

I think he was feeling the pressure to recreate the success of Goodfella...
Apr 16th 2008

Casino was the Oceans 11 of Scorcese's work
Apr 16th 2008
5
it's entertaining
Apr 16th 2008

^^^I've been waiting for this plea cop
Apr 16th 2008

      can't we agree with you and still deam it entertaining?
Apr 16th 2008

Y'all wilin. This shit was a 'C' movie. Period. Here's why
Apr 16th 2008

I don't know about C... but I'd definitely hear B-.
Apr 16th 2008

I've been saying this for years
Apr 16th 2008

Don't try and pass off your opinion as truth

Nowadays, the narration gets on my freakin' nerves.....

We acknowledged this 10 years ago. Glad you're on board.
Apr 16th 2008

That was my first reaction
Apr 16th 2008
18
Still my favorite Marty flick. DeNiro killed it. That's all I needed.
Apr 16th 2008

American Gangster wasn't good
Apr 16th 2008
21
Wrong. If Scorcese directed it, you'd call it brilliant.
Apr 16th 2008
27
The main knock on AG is this...
Apr 16th 2008
31
Exactly.
Apr 16th 2008
34
      Its still better than 'Casino'. Much better.

      Not copping please, just explaining how I watched it
Apr 17th 2008
57
      yep...AG was an updated Heat
Apr 16th 2008
40
           Heat was an updated Clueless
Apr 16th 2008
43
                Clueless was an updated 'She's Gotta Have it'

RE: Wrong. If Scorcese directed it, you'd call it brilliant.
Apr 16th 2008

Not sure if u meant to reply to me but AG was better w/ a 2nd viewing
Apr 17th 2008
54
You don't honestly believe that.
Apr 16th 2008
25
      I honestly do & have said it before & will say it again.
Apr 17th 2008
53
I, FOR ONE, AM SHOCKED BY THIS POST
Apr 16th 2008

Scorsese's 1st tier films are as follows:
Apr 16th 2008
26
The Departed is 439th tier. It was a C-minus at best.
Apr 16th 2008
28
      No. Just disagreeing with you. It happens.
Apr 16th 2008
29
      FOH. The Departed >>>>>>> American Gangster
Apr 16th 2008
30
      AKA: a State Property-calibur storyline.
Apr 16th 2008
36
           cmon.
Apr 17th 2008
52
      And we finally get to the focus on this post: Scorsese fell off
Apr 16th 2008
32
          
casino was better than goodfellas
Apr 16th 2008

1 > 2.
Apr 16th 2008

YOU'RE average at best....
Apr 16th 2008

You have some bad movie views, though.
Apr 16th 2008

      And this is coming from you
Apr 17th 2008
