Yeah, but I don’t even know what a local San Franciscan would sound like if it hadn’t been so overrun by so many different groups of people. Which is both the beauty and the shame of it. I lived there for eight years, and it is easily the most diverse place I’ve ever stayed in for an extended amount of time. I miss…

San Francisco is the most accurate by far. Everyone always knows exactly what they’re talking about in San Francisco, and they will not let you forget it until you either die or come see their show/sign their petition/read their blog/have sex with them/give them a dollar so they can eat tonight.

Each day he gets stuck on a different ride and ends up back in his office.

It is! I liked it a lot. I’m all for movies that do their best in telling young men how not to be selfish fucking assholes. We could use more of them.

Goddamit, I love that movie. Watch out! Moppets!

I didn’t feel that way about her until Kill Bill Vol. 2.

They’re turning on each other! Keep firing, assholes!

Because the internet is not happy unless it’s shitting on something. It must feed only to shit.

Now I want a Groundhog Day sequel about a CEO who keeps wanting to retire, but can’t. On Disney+, natch.

You better make sure the pizza shop up the road is well stocked, too.

Lots of unbelievable things in this world, but it doesn’t make them not true. And Scorsese has made some of the best movies we’ve ever seen for FAR less than $200 million. Maybe he’s just bidding high to get less, but still more than he actually needs.

Scorsese brought the power of young DeNiro into the world. Imagine what he could do with someone else of that age.

Another reason I love season 4 so much - they had Brian K. Vaughan dropping bombs all over the goddamn thing. A hard right turn into some seriously cool primetime sci-fi television.

And yes, for god’s sake, Martin Scorsese, start using different actors. I understand you have an ultra A-list band of regulars, but if you keep using the same people in the same roles over and over, they all start to look the same.

I’m looking through the wiki page for the film, and apparently it was in pre-production for five years! I had no idea. And the CGI faces had to have played some sort of role in its budget. First off, they hired ILM to do it, with Pablo Helman in charge. Do you need a Star Wars guy for this kind of job? Plus, they…

Yeah, that’s kinda where I’m at with it. I just looked up the budget for The Irishman and that thing cost $160 million. Not trying to make a cute joke here or anything, but did the CGI faces really cost that much? Goodfellas and Casino are ten times the movie that The Irishman is, and they both cost about a quarter as…

That’s another way to read it, I guess. And I agree that this is a great time for entertainment in general. I’m just a little uneasy on basing the future of output of people like Scorsese on the the whims of companies like Apple.
