Official The Irishman Thread

[Tony D'Amato]

Another HBO Gotti cosign

 

[Brad Piff]

I’ve always loved that HBO Gotti film. Mad slept on. Bugsy with Warren Beatty is also underrated af.

Loved the Irishman. Not a perfect movie but well worth the watch and I wanna rewatch it again when I have the chance. Too much shyt to watch, not enough time.

All i know is Boy Meets World was in philly . and nicky scarfo was a bad mofo.



I fjnally jatched the irishman tonight. I had read the heard you paint houses book in 2014 so i was familiar with the story. De niro did look old aa fukk but still did a decent preformance. Pesci was great. Pacino was pretty good as hoffa, Everybody Loves Raymond as a lawyer coli favorite Action Bronson as a casket salesman. I kept hoping Ray Liotta would make a cameo...

plan to watch again over the weekend.

DAMN I DIDNT REALIZE U HAD THE ABILITY TO POST MORE THAN 3 WORDS ON THIS FORUM HOMIE

MOVIE WAS DOPE....DUNO IF I'D CALL IT A CLASSIC, IT'S DEFINITELY A STEP UNDER GOODFELLAS AND EVEN CASINO. THE CINEMATOGRAPHY WAS INCREDIBLE, ACTING WAS ALL TOP TIER, PACING WAS A LITTLE DRAWN OUT BUT WORKED, AND THE DIALOGUE WAS EXCELLENT. THE CGI DIDNT BOTHER ME AS MUCH AS IT DID OTHERS, AND I WASNT EVEN TRIPPIN BOUT DE NIRO MOVIN OLD.. THE BIGGEST ISSUE TO ME WAS A LACK OF CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT IN SOME OF THE SUB-PLOTS, BUT I SEE WHY IT WAS DONE THAT WAY. I'M TORN BETWEEN CALLIN THIS A GREAT MOVIE AND A MASTERPIECE...I GUESS ONLY TIME WILL TELL.

I think all white people look alike but they did a really good job with the actors

 

[Jimmy the gent]

Good call

“The Shootist” is in the background on the theatre billboard when Pesci is getting arrested near the end

What's the movie with the female assassin who "retired" but her ex-boyfriend found her and killed her family. So she went and wiped out his mob. That was a good one too.

I think that's "The Villainess", maybe?

Can't remember the exact plot.
