I heard a dirgey, New-Orleans style "Layla" done by Clapton and Wynton Marsalis on the radio today; I didn't think of Goodfellas.

wanted to add something about how P Kael was a clueless fool re this film, but I gotta get the papers get the papers
― Dr Morbois de Bologne (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 6 November 2011 12:35 (twelve years ago) link
For what it's worth, Kael didn't slam Goodfellas the way she did Raging Bull. She clearly recoiled from Raging Bull; with Goodfellas, it was like she recognized a lot of what people loved about it, and dutifully acknowledged those things, but didn't have any enthusiasm for the film herself. There's an odd tone to the review, something close to resignation. I think she was wrong both times (think the reviews are excellent, though, and have read them many times), but I think she was more conflicted about Goodfellas.

liotta's dead-eyed rictus gape when laughs is the best thing about liotta
― ASPIE Rocky (dayo), Sunday, 13 November 2011 01:10 (twelve years ago) link
Agree with clemenza re: Kael's review. Its like she couldn't work up the lather to dismiss it like you could tell she wanted to; there's almost a feeling of her heart not being in it anymore. Can it be a coincidence that it came only weeks before she announced her departure from TNY?

weeks? I recall it coming out in Sept or Oct of '90, she didn't leave til '91.
― Dr Morbois de Bologne (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 13 November 2011 07:44 (twelve years ago) link
My mistake. I was thinking it was weeks rather than months since Goodfellas is one of the last reviews in Movie Love. It was basically at the end of her New Yorker run, though.

The oil of the two dogs was painted by Nicholas Pileggi's mother, and is based on a photograph from the November 1978 issue of National Geographic. Pileggi was the author of Wise Guy, a treatment of the life of gangster Henry Hill, on which Good Fellas is based. As chance would have it, Pileggi was present in 2006 when friend and casino developer Steve Wynn accidentally stuck his elbow through Le Rêve, a Picasso painting that Wynn was about to sell to hedge funder Steve Cohen for $139 million.

There's a corollary to that in the last season or two of Sopranos, where Tony tells a joke tO his crew and they're all shown laughing in slow-mo as Tony realizes it's all really just toadying up
