The Irishman (Martin Scorsese, 2018) Movie • Page 17

What kind of bread was that??

 

The Howard Hunt brick joke was one of my favorites in the whole movie.

 

I thought the bread and grape juice scene was a sacrament metaphor.

 

Damn that ending was sad. I kind of want to be put in a wall when I'm done now. 100% agree with Frank during that scene.

 

There was a viral-ish tweet with a screencap of the "well liked by all" death overlay/joke. Was it in here? Does anyone have it? Thanks!

 

That poster is so, so bad

 

Two of my fav movies this year have horrible posters (other being Once Upon A Time in Hollywood)

 

What

 

the first hollywood posters are all time bad photoshop

 

Ok so not this? Cause I love this and bought it:

 

no, this:

 

Ok yes that is terrible.

 

Angelo: They own a part of it. Somebody else got an interest in that. You know who?
Frank: No.
Angelo: I do.
Frank: Who?
Angelo: No, I do. I own the other part. Not I know somebody who owns the other part.

thinking about this exchange pretty much daily

 

the “it is what it is” rules for me

 

Loved Hoffa telling his lieutenants they’re all dumb motherfuckers and when Frank leaves he’s like “no no, that part didn’t apply to you!”

 

“i didn’t even see you, frank! i wouldn’t have said it if i saw you!!”

 

Watching “The Irishman” on Netflix Is the Best Way to See It

 

I think Brody’s overall analysis is sharp, but I don’t totally see the connection between his analysis and why it makes watching it at home a better experience. That argument felt pretty tenuous to me.

I’d highly recommend seeing it in the theater if people can.

 

Agreed

 

Basically it’s that it holds up really well to rewatch and being able to pause and go back, to sit with moments mid-film, etc. That part of the analysis was the least intriguing to me, the theater experience is my preferred option 10 times out of 10, I just love reading his writing.

 

Yeah I’m mad I didn’t see it in theaters, BUT on the flip side watching over that 4 day weekend I just had was perfect.

 

I won't stand for the "the irishman is boring" meme. I started watching it for the third time the other night and had to stop myself from getting sucked in again and losing a night of sleep. Someone, please, anybody explain to me what is boring about these 3 acting titans coming together with Scorsese for one final say on the gangster genre?

 

As great as this was, all I want to do is go watch Heat now.

 

Some people don't deserve the finer things in life.
