goodfellas

I've thought about the "forget about tonight" moment several times, and I thought Jimmy was genuinely gonna offer Morrie an amnesty -- until Morrie started busting his balls in the alley hours later.

Love the bit where Tommy's trying to remember some Western starring Humphrey Bogart and Jimmy offers "Shane?"

always love it when I remember how Pesci comes out of nowhere and starts beating Billy Batts (Frank Vincent) to death, and then how in Casino, Frank Vincent walks up behind Pesci and he and his men start beating him to death with bats.

Great movie and fuiud agree

Back it up one film: Vincent also gets a beating from Pesci in Raging Bull.

this recut of Liotta's Chantix commercial is A+

Many people bring this scene up to me. It's where I beat the preppy who didn’t treat my girl w/ respect. #GoodFellas pic.twitter.com/VypJz7PVbV

Coming to the very late defense of Alex regarding After Hours. That film is brilliant, people.

yeah, it's great

Okay this is amazing

Stabile was the club manager who complained to DeNiro about Tommy not paying his tab, right?

one of my favorite small moments is when Paulie's goons grab Henry's mailman off the street and he's just this regular innocent dude and they're yelling at him like "come here you piece of shit!" and "scumbag!"

didn't wanna get blood on your floor

"No more mail from ANYBODY"

Every time I pass the smith 9th st station on the F Or G I consider getting off and checking out the nice coats I heard Conway has stored there

Can someone please point me to the Dances with Wolves thread?

"We made a little set that looked a little like the original film, and then Bob got going," Scorsese revealed. "He did his monologues and soliloquies and different expressions. 'Get rid of the fur coat! Get rid of the Cadillac!' Then he went through a series of computer processes."

Pleeeease let me see this. Pleeease.

those computer processes in full

Whaddaya want from me?

I've posted a couple of these movie-music Zooms I've been doing with a friend (we're getting close to 50, but I've tried to post sparingly). The first half of this one, and then the last 10 minutes, is on Goodfellas and Scorsese; there's 10 or 15 minutes on Jonathan Kaplan's Heart Like a Wheel in the middle.

Hmmnnn...need to figure this out.

If this doesn't work, I give up.

Links are preferable to embeds anyway IMO.

It's probably endlessly repeated but on the Talking Sopranos podcast Michael Imperioli was telling the story of how he was taken to the emergency room for a cut on his hand when filming the scene where Spider gets killed and the staff called "code blue" and were cutting his suit open to treat gunshot sounds.

*wounds!

Probably a post about this somewhere in here; the Glenn Kenny book came out today.

More anniversary stuff (by the woman in the Paranoid Style, whose music I don't know).

Racing through the Glenn Kenny book...Confirming something I took notice of and always wondered about: at some point (Kenny doesn't know when), GoodFellas became Goodfellas. And at one point, somebody involved in the earliest stages wanted Tom Cruise and Madonna as the Hills.

I think I read that on buzzfeed like five years ago.

News to me--and that Chuck Low once owned the building that Harvey Keitel, Lorraine Bracco, and De Niro all lived in. I didn't even know that Keitel and Bracco were married.

I think having Morrie the wig salesman as your landlord would be quite an experience.

I met Ray Lotta about 10 years ago, at the Aruba International Film Festival.

What follows is the story of the first time Ray Liotta watched Goodfellas since its premiere, which he didn’t remember. Halfway through principal photography, his mother died.
A short thread.

A rep theatre close by is screening this three times in the next few days. "In memory of Ray Liotta"--I suspect it's more a case of "In memory of when people saw movies in theatres." I don't blame them at all.
