    Yeah I saw a review saying it's a bit jarring at times

    It's a load of 70+ year olds playing 40 year olds for most of the film. Odd decision not to use different actors for those bits.

    The Guardian sez it's his best film since Goodfellas. But then everyone forgets Casino.

    A review I read was saying about that that there's a bit where De Niro's character is either walking or climbing up something when young and he very obviously looks like an old man.

    Gonna give it a bash though. Pesci.

    It always seems to be remembered as a lesser Goodfellas follow-up when it's brilliant in its own right, and probably the more 'accomplished' film. This passage for example is like a film within a film (and another thing, he's never bettered its use of music).

    Just saw The Irishman tonight. It's absolutely brilliant, and definitely his best since Casino, possibly better. The de-aging is fine for the most part, but there are one or two scenes were it is noticeable - mostly because of the movements of De Niro rather than the technology.

    But it never ruins the scene, in my opinion. Pesci and Pacino are both superb, but I'll be amazed if Pesci doesn't win best supporting actor at all of the award shows.

    Watched Joker tonight and thought it was alright, nothing special but Phoenix did well in the role. Pretty bleak in places though and I can't see myself watching it again.

    This "casting" of James Dean is such an obvious and shameless stunt I'm surprised the family are going for it, and can only assume they're going to make a wad.

    I also love that in the BBC article they feel the need to explain what CGI is.

    It's not a million miles away from making actors look forty years younger.

    I just watched Stan & Ollie. Blimey they did a good job making John C Reilly look like Oliver Hardy. And his wife was even more of a doppelgänger. Amazing. Nice film too.

    Not too gore 3/10. Maybe a bit to ploddy and not quite worth the build up. 3.5/5 film.

    Watched Hangman over the weekend. Not too bad as a serial killer thriller type, although I’m not satisfied it all tied up in the end and it was a pretty crap Pacino performance.

    Well in the Casino over Goodfellas camp.


    I still hold the ending of Casino as one of the best in Cinema ever.

    "And that's that".

    I've done 5 of those:

    Gone with the wind, and Lord of the Rings crap
    Godfather II and Deer Hunter, great
    Endgame, good.

    If you go into The Irishman expecting another Casino or Goodfellas you're going to be disappointed. It's closer to something like Once Upon a Time in America.

    Even though I'm still pissed they cut the Tom Bombadill sequence from LOTR for "lack of time" or whatever when they ended up doing an absolutely immense amount of other shite that was never in any books later on (not to mention the following Hobbit films that I couldn't even sit through all of them), I still can't see how you can not like LOTR, I think they are all quite spectacular films really.

    The battle scenes are good, the rest is boring turd.

    I also disliked the vast majority of the characters.

    I assume you either never read or didn't enjoy the books much then, as the characters are largely the same, which I suppose must give you a quite different experience of the films (for better or worse, probably better).

    I was bored stiff through almost all of the Lord of the Rings.

    And Casino isn't better than Goodfellas as the Sharon Stone character is immensely irritating.

    Probably. You can just tell they're all old with the way scenes are delivered. It's funny at times (more a small laugh type funny) and actually the story is probably more interesting than it is in the film (everyone's heard of Jimmy Hoffa).

    Good, not great.

    At school there was some anomalous reason why all the lessons had to stop for an entire day, so they got us all in the school hall and made us watch Gandhi. My memory was of it being more than five hours long, though google says 3h11.

    I was going to say we watched all of Roots in school on like 3 days back to back but then I realized that's a mini series and only felt like a movie because of the binge watching we did (on VHS!)
