This Movie (If It Ever Gets Made?) Is Going To Be A Mess!


Why? It's a "fictional" attempt by Junior Gotti to clean-up his father's public image. "The Teflon Don" was NOT a nice guy, he was a cold-blooded killer. John Travolta is merely embarrassing himself. Lindsay Lohan? She just NEEDS the work (IF she makes it to the movie set, which I doubt!).

Maybe it is an attempt to clean up Juniors image?

That could be!

What's worse than a troll?

A pre-release troll. Fleck off!

Why? "The Godfather" it ain't gonna' be. "Scarface" it ain't, either. "Goodfellas?" I don't think so. "The Sopranos?" Nope. This is Junior Gotti's attempt to have his late father, "The Teflon Don," John Gotti, immortalized. Cleansed. Sanitized. Lindsay Lohan? "Nuff said!!

(You forgot Pulp Fiction)

OK, let's agree to all that. Nobody in their right mind says that this film is going to be CLASSICS like those.

However, that doesn't necessarily make this a bad film. And I think you are wrong about Lohan.

Basically what I'm hearing from you is that another crime story should NEVER BE ATTEMPTED AGAIN since we have classics like the above.

We also have good film like The Departed, Once Upon a Time in America, Donnie Brasco.

I hope you are wrong about this film and I hope to be serving you up some crow on a cold platter after Gotti is released.

NO!!! It's just that I don't want to spend twelve or fifteen bucks, of MY money, to watch revisionist history from John Gotti, Junior!! Junior Gotti SHOULD be rotting-away in a prison cell, somewhere. I don't know WHAT happened (either a jury pool that was tainted, or a bad job by a prosecutor) but Junior Gotti IS dirty!! Lindsay Lohan? I'll bet you SHE doesn't even make it to the first day of shooting (pardon my pun, there!).

>>>to watch revisionist history from John Gotti, Junior!!

Why do you keep repeating this? If you believe this to be true, you've done NOTHING to explain WHY you believe this.

Here are the writers. Notice there is no John Gotti, Jr. listed?

Writing credits
(in alphabetical order)
Barry Levinson screenplay
Leo Rossi screenplay
James Toback screenplay


As far as Lohan, BET ACCEPTED!

Look, my man, John Gotti, Junior, that's Junior Gotti, got it, sold the rights to his father's story. No, he ISN'T writing it. No, he ISN'T producing it. No, he ISN'T directing it. No, he ISN'T appearing in it. But, HE'S pulling the strings! It IS going to be revisionist history. It's going to portray John Gotti, the way Junior WANTS him to appear. As for poor Linz, did you see she got pulled back into court, yesterday, for violating the terms of her house arrest? She's an alcoholic (and WHO knows what else, thief?), and she hasn't accepted that simple fact, yet. In The Twelve Steps, in order to achieve sobriety, you first HAVE to accept the fact that you HAVE a problem. She ain't, there, yet. She might never be. Why are you taking this SO personally?
Do you have "points" in this movie? You'd invest in a movie starring John Travolta and Lindsay Lohan??!!

What proof do you have of this? Hmm?


>>>Why are you taking this SO personally?


Not personal. Just conversing. I'm not sure if this film will be great, but nowhere have I seen ANY clue to what you are saying is truth (revisionism).


>>>Do you have "points" in this movie? You'd invest in a movie starring John Travolta and Lindsay Lohan??!!


No, I don't even know what your talking about. So that assertion is just silly.
