A couple of three things.

I can't believe the guy from Everybody Loves Raymond is in a Scorsese movie.

They can de-age the actors all they want but you can still tell they're ancient from their line delivery, gestures and body language.

I don't want to sound like I'm moaning - I'll watch this movie like everyone else - but I saw little of the old [or should I say young], dynamic De Niro, Pacino or Pesci in that trailer.

It just looked a bit lethargic.

I would've loved if this came out twenty years ago when Scorsese was still at the peak of his powers and the main players still had the energy to pull it off.

In saying that, I'll still give it a chance.

DeNiro and Marty were initially going to do Frankie Machine, about the San Diego mob. DeNiro had read I Heard You Paint Houses to prepare for the Machine role and realized he wanted to do Sheeran's story instead.

At 2:00

I don’t know much about Frankie Machine, although I read the Wikipedia synopsis and I can say I’m glad they abandoned that project. For one, it’s entirely fictional. It’d be nice to see some smaller families but the silver screen, but man that one sounds like some weird John Wick meets Donnie Brasco thriller that would not entice. The Irishman is getting rave reviews and it actually based on a true story. Scorsese and team made the right decision.

Many people were skeptical about the making of the movie. Must feel good for them to prove to people that they’ve still got it.

Never bet against these men. They've done it too many times before. Now yes, none of them (with the exception of Marty) have done a good movie in a number of years. But I'm still willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. It's just a shame we had to wait this long into their careers to get all 3 of these guys together in a film (De Niro, Pacino, and Pesci that is).

Joe Pesci pretty much retired from acting after Gone Fishin'. I think he was in The Good Shepherd before this and nothing else. What a waste. Ah well, at least this will remove the sour taste of him dropping out of Gotti. Although, it's probably a godsend he didn't get involved in that.

Anyone hear De Niro's rant to his assistant that was made public as part of a lawsuit against him? It reminds me of Mel Gibson's meltdown.

https://news.sky.com/story/robert-d...ne-call-emerges-in-court-battle-11826719

TBH with some of the stuff he has publicly said about Trump, I'm not one bit surprised he has problems controlling his anger. It was embarrassing to listen to this.

Does it bother anybody whether or not the story of a movie is accurate or not? I do not think it will make a difference for me but I am curious to see what others think. I have not read the book but I have seen multiple people say that the story is not true at all. I think as long as it is a story that does not have gross historical inaccuracies(Gangster Squad) then it shouldn’t make a difference. I still enjoyed gangster squad but I knew I was watching a cliché.

Partly fictional, not entirely. Some real names and real stories of California and Detroit guys in the book, and the characters with fictional names are rather blatantly based on real people. If you read The Last Mafioso before Machine you'll know who everyone is.

Pesci was actually in a good movie called Love Ranch in 2010, based on a true story about the Mustang Ranch (Reno brothel) owner who killed a boxer having an affair with his wife.

I prefer the movie to be as accurate as possible but I know for Hollywood, they have to add tension/drama, etc. so I know it's not always 100% accurate but for me personally, I like to see as accurate a portrayal as possible.
