The same with me, TIS. Too many of his recent roles blend into one (they're all the same). This one is similar. They portray Madoff as a controlling force over his family and that is tailor made for DeNiro's "disgusted" face (that he seems to use all the time now). The movie itself was OK, but just barely. You won't walk away from this feeling any sympathy for Madoff (not that he deserves any) and I'd recommend it to anyone who just wants to learn what this whole mess was about. But don't expect to be entertained by it.

Thanks for the heads up SC. Yea, I DO want to learn more of what happened. I'll look at it more as a history lesson. LOL

TIS


TIS,
Haven't seen it yet. Going to watch it on once the NBA Finals are done. When/If you watch it, please let us know what you thought of it. I prefer reviews from real people over the "critics' reviews"

Speaking of which, thanks for the rundown,SC. Is it the same disgusted face that Jimmy Conway had when Johnny R. kept explaining the pink cadillac? smile

Foot,

Bobby Deniro is a fake Italian now,Foot? Did he campaign for Diblasio or something? smile

Fake Italian. Good one. lol

Kareem is over 7 feet tall. In high school he had to be at least 6 ft 5" just picturing that fight has me laughing.

He was 7 ft tall in high school. John kept hitting him in the balls. After Kareem he was
Still lew then UCLA he got a big signing bonus with The Milwaukee bucks. He came to a brokerage house I worked for when I was a kid Kleiner Bell. He invested his money on a stock they were pushing. He lost all his money I shock hands with him there. I told him I saw him play at st.helena's high school in the Bronx. It later became Monsignor scalan. Everyone in the brokerage house was Italian except the box people they were minorities. I lost money myself on that stock about a thousand.

One of the box men was a friend of Wilson picket. I told the guy I was a big fan of his music. So I took them both out to sloppy Louie's for lunch.

lol lol lol That's exactly what I pictured the fight to look like. A short little Italian guy punching a guy's waist or however you put it. So friggin funny, Foots.

That's a shame everybody lost money. Live and learn.

You know how we got a ton of celebrities out here. Well, my friend's friend was a nanny for Magic Johnson. She said he was a really nice guy but NOBODY is allowed near him when he sits down to eat. His wife is a sweetheart she said.

The only basketball star I shook hands with was Sean Elliott saw him at an Angels game and got an autograph for my friend's nephew. Early 1990's. Kobe Bryant was at the circus with his wife and baby when I took my kids early 2000's. Didn't approach him though.

Great story as usual, Foots. What and where is Sloppy Louie's?

It was near the Fulton fish market just to the right under the east river drive. It long gone now. The service was interesting. You sit at the table bread crumbs are on the table. The waiter through you the mappine and you clean the table off. Saw dust all over the floor. Sea food was great.

I told this story before I just don't remember to who smile the first scene shot in goodfellas was when Johnny and his wife was found dead in the caddy. Remember kids found them to the song Layla. They were in makeup and were sitting in the car a long time before they shot the scene. She had to go to the bathroom. They told her hold it in and go after they shot the scene. She still had to pee bad so they told her to pee in the car smile so she did.

Foots, that sounds like a fun place smile I've been to Fishermans Wharf up in San Francisco and to San Pedro Port of LA/Long Beach many times but never to Fulton. We even had a fish delivery guy out here years ago. Now, we have to go to the Asian market to get our fish lol


And that poor actress. Don't they know that a woman can't go too long without a bathroom break?

I don't watch Mob Wives. Maybe you do but these women are an embarrassment to the Italian-American people. So, you better watch your step with what you say. You're nothing but a bullshit artist anyway. I have real stories about real Italian people and wiseguys in the neighborhood. What do you have? Why don't you add something informative about your Italian family who came here to the states to the 1900 immigrant thread? Oh it's because you can't. Well, I can and I did.

Edit: wrote 1990 instead of 1900 half asleep lol

That article was very inappropriate.

I was channel surfing last night and on PBS was a program about 60s' music. Just like the Doo Wop groups that still perform, the 60s' groups do so also. It was enjoyable to watch and listen; they too still sound good.

To me it's amazing that we get to have enjoyed singers when they were in vogue and then to enjoy them decades later. So cool, or as we used to say, "far out, like heavy man".

The Smithsonian Channel ran an excellent documentary commemorating the 25th anniversary of the L.A. Riots. One of the darkest moments in the history of our nation. I still can't quite believe that the officers who beat Rodney King were acquitted and how long the L.A. police abused blacks dating back to the Watts Riots.

Thanks,Goombah

EXCELLENT so far. I like the format.

Gets,

If you haven't seen it yet, the OJ documentary "Made in America" is phenominal. Many of the same people were involved in the LA Riots coverage (Gil Garcetti, the TV helicopter guy shot footage of Reginal Denny's beating AND OJ's slow speed chase, plus lots of LA cops/media/civil rights advocates).

I think the OJ documentary may be the best doc I have ever seen. When it was first advertised, it was of no interest to me. My sis-in-law recommended it when I saw her over the holidays.

The basic premise was that OJ never considered himself as black until he was on trial. At least one juror admitted that she voted to acquit in part as retribution for the Rodney King acquittal. A jury consultant stated that the prospective jurors found more fault with Nicole as a white woman who married a black man than for OJ beating her. Another unforgettable comment was that if OJ had killed his first wife (who was black), he would have easily been convicted.

It's a fascinating documentary. If I was a sociology professor, I would show this in my class every semester.

Dead Presidents is a very good movie. Came out in 1995. Never saw it until recently. Excellent cast. Lots of funny scenes and quotes even thought it's categorized as a crime drama action type movie.

I remember liking it when it came out but haven't seen it in 20+ years, so a revisit would be timely. The war flashbacks are what stuck with me the most.

The Hughes Brothers previous movie, Menace II Society, was outstanding.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Carrie Fisher's autopsy report shows the actress had cocaine in her system when she fell ill on a plane last year, but investigators could not determine what impact the cocaine and other drugs found in her system had on her death.

The report released Monday states Fisher may have taken cocaine three days before the Dec. 23 flight on which she became ill. She died four days later.

It also found traces of heroin and MDMA, which is also known as ecstasy, but that they could not determine when Fisher had taken those drugs. The findings were based on toxicology screenings done on samples taken when the "Star Wars" actress arrived at a Los Angeles hospital.

You should watch it again. I do remember Menace II Society. Recently, I watched another movie from years ago, came out in 86, called River's Edge with Keanu Reeves, Crispin Glover, and Dennis Hopper. It's based on a true story. Strange movie but worth watching. Ever see it?

River's Edge doesn't sound familiar. I like outside the box movies so I'll keep an eye out.

Goombah,

thanks. I saw it last year and I saw the mini series, and I have a hard time remember which info came from which source. They were both excellent.

How many of you are fans of the return of Will&Grace and Roseanne this coming season?

I like W&G, but was neutral about Roseanne.

Anybody see Dunkirk yet? Looks good. Great cast. I need to go see that movie.

My kid saw the Emoji movie last week. I told her jeez you probably lost more brain cells watching that movie in one night than I did in all my teenage years put together lol

Was never a fan of either show. I do think that they were way ahead of their time. Nothing new or groundbreaking about them now, so I think both shows will go the route of the Arsenio Hall reboot.

Just re-watched season 4 of Breaking Bad and was yet again incredibly impressed by this man's acting, simply superb..

My favorite character of the entire show.
