Robert De Niro's career

He's fine in Meet The Parents, though he was GHASTLY as an SNL host.

Miccio is right, that was just a heartbreaking SNL appearance. Heartbreaking.

I never saw this SNL thing. It was that bad?

I would like to thank the American public for rejecting Everybody's Fine.

lol @ FROM A PRODUCER OF RIGHTEOUS KILL AND STREET KINGS

Lock career.

seriously. a sad, inexplicable decline, from a guy who certainly can (or used to be able to) spot quality projects.

his best movie of the 2000s insofar as being a respectable ambitious effort is probably the good shepherd, though its by no means perfect. he had that really tremendous mid 90s run and then idk what happened. his most embarrassing role for me was probably in Machete, though objectively i guess righteous kill was probably the "worst". he needs to get back together w/scorsese. It'slmost twenty years since they made a film together. it not him, Michael Mann idk.

he was a supporting character in that critically-praised recent film about bipolar disorder, right?

yeah little fockers wasnt half bad

haha!

robert's face is really haunting there. he looks like his kid ran into him getting ice cream with his mistress.

the bag man (2014. dir. David Grovic)

he just looks really disappointed that there are officers on the take, shaking his head at their occupation of the grey area between cop and criminal.

he is so beautiful now
he's like a beautiful king
he should probably make a film with sorrentino to exploit this, this kind of tragic gulf between his stature & eligibility & where he is, now
beautiful robert deniro

were yall aware that this movie exists/was released theatrically:
http://beautifuldreams.blog.pt/files/2014/04/Grudge-Match-675x506.jpg

With a fan poster?

it's kind of amazing that stallone and de niro's once-different careers have followed winding paths to the point where a movie like that is not only not surprising but totally logical.

[as the fight starts]
Henry 'Razor' Sharp: [to the Kid] Gutsy move, going without a bra!
Billy 'The Kid' McDonnen: [to Razor] Yeah? I got a surprise for you: I took a dump on your porch!

Billy 'The Kid' McDonnen: I wanna beat you!
[hurls a machine at Razor]
Billy 'The Kid' McDonnen: Come on, come on! Come on! Come on!
[Razor charges at Kid]

Tranny Hooker: [Kid and Razor are dressed in green catsuits] You two some kind of superheroes?
Billy 'The Kid' McDonnen: Yeah, I'm the Green Champion and he's the Emerald Superpussy.

[training Kid]
B.J.: Did you just fart?
[gets up and walks away, choking]

Yeah, because the trailer for it showed before nearly every movie I watched in theaters last year xp

kind of funny that he isn't in the raging bull sequel but is in grudge match. was he busy shooting grudge match so he had to turn down raging bull 2? was that a moment of clarity for him?

I thought the reason he had to be in so many films he wouldn't have otherwise is because he's had children with lots of women who are demanding major money. I've never heard it officially stated, but I've heard critics saying that he actually has no choice but to make loads of films for the money.

Also that Kevin Bacon and Nicolas Cage have been more prolific because of business deals that went really bad. But Cage was always really prolific.

he is so beautiful now
he's like a beautiful king
he should probably make a film with sorrentino to exploit this, this kind of tragic gulf between his stature & eligibility & where he is, now

exactly

He was fun in American Hustle but it's a low low bar. How much alimony does anyone need to pay?

his best movie of the 2000s insofar as being a respectable ambitious effort is probably the good shepherd

This was an interesting, flawed movie that could def have worked with more, I dunno, energy? Matt Damon well cast as Jason Bourne's father.

i don't think i'll ever get over what a disappointment a bronx tale is/was. probably my most loathed film of all time

new nancy Meyers joint

The Intern will chronicle a 70-year-old man who finds himself as an intern at a fashion website.

De Niro will play the intern, while Hathaway is set to take on the role of the successful website founder.

Is it a combination of the alimony and continually looking after his Tribeca stuff

Zac Efron and Robert De Niro are getting more company in their Lionsgate road trip pic Dirty Grandpa. Parks and Recreation’s Aubrey Plaza has signed onto the comedy about an uptight twenty-something (Efron) who embarks on a road trip before his wedding to bond with his recently widowed grandfather (De Niro) only to find that his grandpa is a foul-mouthed lunatic on a mission to get laid during Spring Break.

Plaza will play Lenore, a savvy, beguiling party girl looking for fun on Spring Break.

i assume this ends with de niro hauling ass to lollapalooza after asking plaza if she's ever done the horizontal mambo

Definitely will have a sneezing-on-grandma's-ashes scene.

RdN's ambition to seek deeper nadirs for his career is daunting.

with three in post and two in pre for 2015

he had that good run with casino/heat/jackie brown/wag the dog/ronin, and then other than the good shepherd there hasn't been anything decent since. any decent arguments for any de niro roles since the '90s?

like worse than al pacino in that fucking adam sandler film

He's working with Scorsese (and Joe Pesci and Al Pacino) again on The Irishman.

What a shocker, another #Resistance anti-Trumper turns out to just want a more polite form of exploitation. https://t.co/7o4kVFNkkw

hard to believe the man whose best performance of the last 20 years might well be in dirty grandpa would nowadays be more interested in disaster capitalism than art

I probably went to A Bronx Tale in 1993 hoping for something really good--De Niro was still a pretty good bet at the time. Forgot about it immediately. If you can give De Niro a pass for the slavish Goodfellas imitation (Jungle Fever, too), it actually holds up pretty well. Pesci's bit at the end is nice.

Someone who couldn't give him a pass, I guess.

Palminteri really looked like a contender for awhile there, this and Bullets Over Broadway were his absolute peak though. His career went much better than Lillo Brancato Jr's however...

Should mention him, too--he was good (and wrote it, of course). So were the young actors who played C and Jane.

still a treasure

I would really like to see Midnight Run again. I saw it in the theater but I don't remember it much at all, but I remember liking it. The idea of a buddy cop action comedy with Robert DeNiro and Charles Grodin is pretty wacky.

Nothing’s more unnatural and awkward than DeNiro hamming it up

What’d I say to you?

If the part of this song about him "Never, ever [trying comedy] again" had remained true, it might've spared us Dirty Grandpa at least.

Bagel salesman.

absolutely fucking risible

The UK really is like Japan, so many US actors slumming it in commercials.

how much money does robert de niro need, really

De Niro, Pacino, Keitel... who's left?

Guy who played billy blanco from the bronx doing a Greggs ad?

I love Leguizamo and that would make me sad

Jeff Bridges in a shitty beer ad atm

Johnny Depp the next face of the Sun Life Over 50s Plan

oh god yeah this is absolutely atrocious and kinda made me hate jeff bridges

Bob and Al hafta subsidize those 4-hr Scorsese epics

was wondering if james caan had done any ads and i can't seem to find any, which is heartening

It's funny thinking about the reverence and mystique conferred onto some of these hack one note clowns in the late 80's and what a joke they are now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kao5YQeohyQ

This is a genre of itself. Notice the diners sitting on the corner just like they did in the Sopranos.

was wondering if James Caan had done any ads* and i can't seem to find any, which is heartening

I thought I'd seen a Caan ad, but was confusing him w/Robert Loggia.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZIzRqDOSZo

*Actually, there is a James Caan commercial on youtube, but it's for Rehab center, so it probably doesn't count.

Christ, the DeNiro bagel ad even uses a faux "Jump Into The Fire."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InzueIgtTbo

He's on a roll (not a bagel) at the moment.

Great photo, showed up on my FB wall (Cannes, 1976). Thought about posting it on the "Photos taken of famous people together that you would never have expected to be together but make you happy all the same," as a joke.

what about de niro's father's career imo

I knew his mom was an established painter; somehow I forgot his father was, too.

there is a poll between De Niro and Pacino on twitter right now about who was hotter when they were young, with hundreds of thousands of votes

At a wedding and having a big debate rn. Please vote. Who was hotter?
