Read my post again.
I suggested <i>Colin Firth</i> take the role instead.
I never thought I'd ever say this, but I now think that in Titanic he gives one of his best performances.
In most of his movies from the past decade or so, all he does--seemingly--is scowl and grimace in an effort to come across as "tough" and "manly" and "mature", or else he's usually got a smug smile on his face in an effort to appear confident and macho.
Whereas in Titanic he just acts naturally and doesn't try too hard.
<blockquote>I always thought Tom could have made a pretty good Tony Soprano. He and James G. have the same presence. Better yet, he would have been awesome as Tony Blundetto</blockquote>Totally agree!
What movie did you watch?
*None* of the characters looked the same at the end of Goodfellas as they did at the beginning. Hell, Henry and Tommy are played by different actors in 1955!
Paulie didn't age as much as the others apart from a little grey in his hair in the later scenes, granted, but other than that they all showed that a quarter century had elapsed.
<blockquote>Now it is all don't ruffle Bill's feathers</blockquote>He doesn't seem to want anyone to upstage him, and he started in that direction long before Trump got elected, let alone 2020. Although a turn-off, I would hardly say that makes him "Trump-like".
<blockquote>his goofball medical and health care theories</blockquote>Such as?
<blockquote>his hatred for young people, marriage, babies, etc. </blockquote>How exactly is that "Trump-like"? And Maher doesn't necessarily hate young people, rather he has disdain for <i>today's</i> young people, the Millenials and especially the Gen-Zers for being such coddled wussies and ignoramuses. And it's not like those assessments are inaccurate.
He's always made no bones about how he is not cut out for married life and having a family. Doesn't make him a bad person. And since Trump is a married man with a family himself, I would say Bill's shunning of that life makes him if anything very <b>un</b>-Trump-like.
<blockquote> He constantly interrupts the guests with blatantly false comments</blockquote>He does get his facts wrong from time to time, and is guilty of lapses in judgment. That's called <i>being human</i>.
Bummer.
I was <i>cautiously</i> looking forward to seeing this flick.
<blockquote>If he were daring, he should make one about the corruption of the Democratic Party and the manipulation of the news media and social media to shape cultural perceptions.</blockquote>Amen brother!
But it'll never happen. He's not daring.
<blockquote>Although Bill makes fun of Trump and insults him, over time he has taken on unabashedly Trump-like characteristics. </blockquote>How has Maher become Trump-like lately?
<blockquote>He played a great uptight Col. In The Last Castle. A role I never hear people talk about..
</blockquote>YES!
Gandolfini's possibly most underrated performance.
Vito: I'll just keep my mouth shut.
Ralph: Unless of course there's a salami sandwich around.
And of course, if Ralph knew that Vito liked to...."catch", I'm sure he'd be quipping about Vito putting something else in his mouth!
I've always thought that actually Ridley Scott--who did Hannibal--should have directed Red Dragon since the latter film would have been a better match for his directorial style, and that Fincher should have directed Hannibal, for the same reason.
Pretty much all of Robert Zemeckis' films--Forrest Gump, Contact, Cast Away, etc.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, even though the cinematography is still very Fincherian.
Scorsese's version of Cape Fear.
Apollo 13.
I saw this film back when it first came out in 2000. I was in junior high and I loved it.
At a certain point I "outgrew" the humor in this movie and now that I'm in my thirties if I had been my age now back in 2000 I probably wouldn't have though much of it.
But now I've circled back around to enjoying this flick very much simply because of the nostalgia and because today's excuses for comedies are so much worse.
<blockquote>In “College” (S1, E:5) Tony also killed Fabian "Febby" Petrulio (the rat) pretty much spur of the moment and with his bare hands and a cord. </blockquote>He may have decided on the spur of the moment, but took the time afterward to verify he had his man, stalk him, and then waited until the next day to actually whack him.
Whereas Tony killed Ralph and Chrissy as soon as he felt the urge.
Is it possible to become a commissioned officer by showing sufficiently good conduct and leadership without having to go through official training? And for such a turn of events to happen after the age of 30?
So basically once you reach a certain age, as an enlisted solider, you become too old to be an officer?
The kid is a reverse pedophile.
<blockquote>Four years later he'd be playing a country bumpkin in Shawshank Redemption.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
Probably still looked good in the shower, missed opportunity! </blockquote>
Imagine him getting caught by Bogs and the sisters doing those nude martial arts moves.
They'd chop his ass clean in two like a piece of firewood!
Cool, cool!
<blockquote> when Argyle drives John and Holly away it's not quite as dark so the sun must have started rising right then.</blockquote>In the very last shot of the movie, when John and Holly are being driven away by Argyle, and the camera pans up and the credits start rolling across the screen, you can clearly see the sky is getting light and the sun is about to come up.
