The Departed is awesome (s***k it "cinephiles")

The way some “cinephiles” dismiss The Departed as overrated is genuinely hilarious. Scorsese, DiCaprio, Nicholson, Damon, Wahlberg, an insanely tight script, incredible tension, dark humor, and one of the best casts ever assembled—and apparently that’s not “cinema” enough. Sorry the masterpiece was actually fun to watch.

What is Scorsese's best soundtrack/score?

Goodfellas is the obvious answer, but I'm going to go with Taxi Driver. I love licensed music when done well, but an original score done well just hits so much harder for me. It's a mix of beautiful and haunting jazz that highlights Bickle's innocent demeanor and horrifying psychology.

I think, while one note, Killers of the Flower Moon has a great score. As does The Departed.

The Best & Worst Boston Accents in Movies 🎬😂 — Who Else Belongs on This List? “I know the Boston accent is notoriously hard for actors but they keep letting them try, what do you all think?!

Boston accents are notoriously hard for actors to nail—but these two might be in a league of their own. Who gets your vote for the worst of the worst? 👀
I love me some Leo. So he was very hard to call out. But after rewatching Shutter Island recently it reminded me of the horrible Boston accent that John Travolta tried to do in The Forger movie. Which is way worse. I say Leo has the best so far I could find with John the worst. Thoughts comments?! Who’s got the worst Boston accent.

Happy 83rd Birthday Robert De Niro! Smoking Scene (Goodfellas) (1990)

Wishing RDN as many more birthdays as he wants. As far back as I can remember, De Niro has always been my favorite actor, so I will celebrate his special day by rewatching one or two of his outstanding performances. But with so many to chose from, which one(s) should I pick? Feel free to make recommendations and share the reason for your choice(s), ... or not. Whichever way, I will be more than "a little bit" grateful for your suggestions.

The Irishman (2019) vs Killers of the Flower Moon (2023)

I watched them both recently and found them exceptional. Rich, layered, detailed, whole worlds filled with multiple characters and statements about american history. Great performances, great filmmaking and great story-framing.

Which one would you say is the better movie and which one do you enjoy the most?

Working in Brooklyn armory today and found some familiar hardware. These are the guns that killed Stacks and Billy Batts.

I love Goodfellas, but I think Paul Sorvino was miscast and did a bad job. He didn’t want to play Pauline as the dirt bag he was so he played him as a man of honor. That’s another movie called the Godfather. I really would have loved Danny Aiello roll up his sleeves and play this part.

Does anyone else wait to lock their car door until after you have started the ignition?

One thing that helped Ace escape the bomb was that he popped out of the car quick. Keeping that door unlocked might have saved his life.

Martin Scorsese creative process

Looking for any articles or interviews that give more insight into how Martin Scorsese uses film defences to match the feeling tone or mood of a scene. I remember reading somewhere about how he was using the “force of evil” as a reference for raging bull and deniros performance
