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.

Goodfellas Fantasy Football Names

What are some good names? I want to do a goodfellas theme this year. I’m leaning toward “The Shineboxes” but I feel like I can do better.

All portrayals of Tommy “2 Guns” DeSimone in media I’ve watched!

I’ve watched Goodfellas, The 10 Million Dollar Getaway, History channel’s Lufthansa Heist documentary, The Big Heist, & The Sinatra Club!And still, Joe Pesci remains the top Dawg! Best: Goodfellas Joe saying Funny how? Magnificent performance and I can deadass imagine the real Tommy doing something like that since he’s such a loose cannon! Imagine Pesci beefed up a bit to get the physical description down at least; his tiny ass being super buff like the real Tommy would make him look like an even bigger Napoleon Complex than he already was! Worst: The Big Heist This is a TV Movie don’t expect it to be some masterpiece like Goodfellas the movie here feels more spoof than parody ridiculous like a mf! Tommy here is suppose to be a hardcore, drug abusing, trigger happy, gangster not a disco loving dancing king!! The only thing is This Tommy at least has his height appearance down a little compared to Pesci! TTMDG: Damn he has Tommy’s Hollywood star looks unlike Pesci, I just wish he had the mustache and the buff build but still fine! TSC: garbage movie but at least they address how much of a Coke head Tommy is and the storylines w Tommy and Foxy going at each others throats all the time

Stacks Edwards makes sound after getting shot in the head

I’ve watched this movie countless times. Possibly one of my most quotable films. Anyway, I’ve always noticed that Samuel L Jackson makes a sound after his character gets shot in the back of the head, but before he hits the bed on his way to the ground. It’s right in between gunshots, and sounds kinda delayed after the first suppressed gunshot. Was this a mistake? Is there something biological about being headshotted that might make someone do that? Some thoughts would be interesting
