At the end of my second or third viewing of this movie at a theater in Los Angeles, the idiot who had been sitting right next to me and blabbing the whole time to his friends about OH LOOK THERE’S THAT BUILDING I RECOGNIZE and HEY LOOK ITS THAT PLACE WE WENT TO stood up, turned to them and said, ‘We can go now!…

No, “whaling” is what Ahab does. I meant “waling”.

The detail was stunning but in hindsight countless scenes had no real point.

You’re entitled to your very, very wrong opinion.

2+ hours of nothing much happening

I fucking love this answer. More goofy answers to this stupid-ass question, please.

I think it’s closer to a well-regarded chef saying McDonald’s isn’t “cuisine” or an author saying James Patterson isn’t “literature.” Obviously, it depends on your exact definitions of the words and whether they connote a certain quality or artistry, but I wouldn’t say those statements are ridiculous on their face.

Nebula is a better character than Travis Bickle 

You’re calling it a meme. Clearly people like this man and others are not. They care. Which is why I personally think this article did this clip a disservice by including stupid shitty twitter nonsense with it.

People out there still talking about the Kennedy assassination aren’t all doing it for the lulz either, you…

Yeah but authorities and mainstream media aren’t doing anything about it (because the owners are all in Epstein’s black book regardless of supposed political affiliation) so it’s a grassroots effort to keep this in the public consciousness. 

I hate reading and hearing about Kanye West. He is a major doofus.

Pesci’s supposed to be really good in this.  I had assumed he was in permanent retirement so it is great that he gets at least one last quality role.  

Martin Scorcese and Robert DeNiro....and Joe Pesci. Don’t forget Joe. I’m watching this because of Joe.

Who gets to decide what movies and books are banned?

oh jesus no

Counterpoint: fuck that noise. CEOs and quite a few politicians are sociopathic by nature and don’t need movies to tell them to be. Mafia leaders and gang members might identify to a degree to gangster movies, but it doesn’t mean they wouldn’t be doing the same things even if they didn’t exist. Most gang members were…

I disagree - it is precisely this kind of art that showed me that a life of crime wasn’t for me - the highs are never worth the lows. Also Jim Spanfeller can eat a dick. 

This looks great, and an A minus review from Mr. Dowd makes me think this must be truly special. Why, it almost took my mind off the fact that Jim Spanfeller is a massive piece of shit who ran Deadspin into the ground.

Martin Scorses is such a great director, it almost makes me not think for a second about what an absolute shitheel and incompetent Jim Spanfeller is. 

Deadspin took tons of chances on people and types of articles other places wouldn’t. Even if you didn’t like them, the media world is a lot worse for having fewer places like that.
