The Irishman (Martin Scorsese, 2018) Movie • Page 23

I’m sorry but only seeing every post-2000 Scorsese is so funny. It’s like watching every post-‘80 Coppola film and being like “yeah I never understood the hype” lmao

 

Gangs of New York was aight

 

I had to turn off Gangs. It was too corny

 

I appreciated the excellent set design and DDL was rad in that

 

Imagine the possibilities. Someone who started with Jaws 2. Someone who only saw Matrix Reloaded. Someone who started Twin Peaks with season two.

 

The Departed has some goofy stuff in it but I fell in love with it so deeply at 14 that I can put it on anytime anywhere and watch it until the end.

I loved Gangs when I saw it (also at 14, I went through a bunch of his filmography right after seeing the Departed), but haven’t been able to get through a rewatch the last couple times I’ve tried. Some great stuff in it, but too much of it doesn’t engage me

 

I forgot Boxcar Bertha. Also skippable

 

does it count if I've seen Goodfellas

 

My family pretty much never went to Blockbuster so the fact I even saw those surprises me on this side of it.

but this is a pretty shitty way to mock someone who was legit asking from a place of curiosity but do you

 

My hatred for The Departed is well established.

 

Wow this thread suuuuuucks. Everyone stop being assholes.

 

I’m not mocking you at all. I think you yourself should recognize how funny it is. Watching Shutter Island and Silence but never watching Goodfellas is just very humorous. It’s like someone saying they’re a fan of Orson Welles but never got around to Citizen Kane. It’s a rare, odd situation

 

Does what count

 

We might need to bump the general Scorsese discussion thread and give some more in depth suggestions there. I’m very curious to see how your opinion changes after seeing some of the greats.

I definitely recommending working through a lot more of his work before getting to The Irishman since so much of that is a culmination of everything that came before.

 

departed is an adrenaline hit. it may be karaoke scorsese, which keeps it from being one of my favorites of his, but it's infinitely rewatchable. also probably the best leo performance until this year.

 

Alright if we’re doing Leo:

1. wolf of Wall Street
2. Hollywood
3. Aviator
4. Departed
5. Catch me if you can

and the gap between 1 and 2 is WIDE

 

I fucking love Bringing out the Dead, just want to make that known

 

I assume you mean Shutter Island, not Catch Me

 

I’d need to rewatch it, haven’t seen it since theaters.

 

been hearing shutter island was mid-level for him until recently some more have been calling it his most underrated film. similar with bringing out the dead kinda

 

I just mean that Shutter is Scorsese, Catch Me is Spielberg

 

and hollywood is tarantino

 

Oh I was just ranking Leo in genera

 

After Hours is my favorite Scorsese. That’s my hot take for the evening.
