The Irishman

[MikeBiDude]

I would rather rewatch Once Upon a Time in America, the long version of course

I rewatch it at LEAST once a year. And of course only the “long Version”.

I was unsatisfied with the ending of the Irishman.

And while taking a long post-movie piss I had this 20 something guy showing me his thick dick in the bathroom. That was odd.

I seem to be the only one who thinks MEH. The acting was superb but halfway through I thought I would rather rewatch Once Upon a Time in America, the long version of course. Similar story line. Similar attention to detail and a lot more content in OUATIA. The little pop up video type recounting the deaths of minor characters added little but distraction for me. Mafia bad and kill people is not a point that needs to be stressed to anyone interested in watching this movie. The Mafia involved in killing Kennedy and the Bay of Pigs is old territory and speculative and I do not think this movie added any insight to that. Perhaps those that did not know of the hatred between Bobby Kennedy and Jimmy Hoffa found that informative. I do think the line after the Kennedy assassination when Hoffa says: Bobby Kennedy is now just another lawyer, was a powerful moment.

Otherwise, I enjoyed the film but I doubt it is winning a Best Picture Oscar. Tom Hanks and Mr. Rogers are probably taking the acting and the Best Picture Oscars back to their neighborhood.

 

I agree that organized crime and the Kennedy family is very old news.

But you relish in history and old news?

Was the free peek something he deliberately forced upon you? Did you call him out for it?

Here’s hoping you were watching on the big screen at home.

Nope. It was a mutual thing. After I started peeing, he seem dedicated to demonstrating his full dick to me.

Hopefully you had a happier ending with the young man

Finally got around to watching The Irishman.  The holiday weekend was perfect for dividing into a 2-part watch.

Best part for me was Al Pacino.   Always enjoyed him. 

But yeah, the whole movie is good.   Highly recommended.

Saw, and liked, The Irishman at the Director's Guild theater when it first came out, so got to hear a great interview with  Scorsese.
