    The Plan at the moment:

    Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).

    Players I want:
    Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
    Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
    Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell

    On the other hand the movie did a lot right that surprised me. More than anything, I love how this movie explored mortality as a theme.

     
    Example: "I can't believe they'd dig their own graves. Like they thought if they did a good enough job they'd get out of it." When the De Niro character offs Hoffa. The end of the movie "cremation is so final" "leave the door cracked open a little bit."


    To me, that thematic miniature was artistic, novel, and fully-formed--points to the writer and director. I found myself admiring other miniatures during the movie. The lens of the daughter was perhaps my favorite part. More than anything though, the movie did a great job of capturing the innate tension of man as monster vs. man as loyal dog. I can't recall a movie that has done this so well.

    So I can't give it a 4 or a 6 because it's just not a bad movie. There are many things that make it worth the watch.

    But I can't go much higher than 8 because I feel like all the surface flavoring (De Niro, Pacino, and Pesci doing gangster things) actually detracts from the movie. A necessary evil perhaps. The acting bothered me at points because these actors are pre-loaded symbols, but they are also professional and skilled at their craft. I wouldn't like the movie if it didn't do so many things well on a meta level.

    That's why I gave it an 8.25/10. 8 is a solid movie, 8.25 means it's better than that. But it's no 9.

    And wave, of course she is hot. I do not get into relationships with non attractive females.

    I love how Scorsese can simultaneously beat you over the head with themes, and also surprise you with subtly at the same time.

    The most powerful scene for me was when
     
    Joe Pesci's character basically told DeNiro that he had to kill Hoffa, but that he will be fine because "you are with me." And you see DeNiro's eyes well up with tears - because he actually likes Hoffa better and respects him more (and he knows how his daughter feels about both men) -- but he knows that he has no choice but to follow orders. The "you are with me" reassurance is of little consolation. It's so understated and also so revealing.



    Critiquing this movie for its CGI and fight scenes is missing the point entirely. Though those are probably two of the weakest aspects of the movie.

    I haven't stopped thinking about it since I watched it on Saturday.

    You should post a picture of her, but then delete the post after 30 seconds.

    No, it's not missing the point. I can't buy someone as a gangster when they look like a 60 year old who is supposed to be 40 or younger. It kills immersion. The fight scene, this horrible thing that his daughter saw, that was supposed to scar her and make her and her sister scared to confide in their daddy was an utter ******* joke. Again, immersion is absolutely killed.

    Now the dumb old man doesn't want people to watch movies on phones.

    Also, the "you are with me," thing just reminds me of when Pesci saved his dumbass earlier. Consolation for killing Hoffa? No, but he knows he'll be alright.

    That movie is at best at C+. It was low intensity. Not gripping.

    This is just a poor take. Period. It’s not real life. It just isn’t. Does it mean you have to suspend some belief in places? Yes! I don’t understand why that’s so hard for people.

    Do you watch good movies that depict high school kids with 30 somethings? Yes. If it’s well made, it’s well made, and the Irishman is just a well made movie.

    American History X: I KNOW the curb stomp is fake. Because it’s a damn movie. It’s all fake. But that doesn’t make the movie shit. I just don’t get fixating on this and shitting on the rest of the movie because him breaking his hand didn’t look smooth enough, or whatever it looks like when someone curb stomps someone, which I’ve never even witnessed.
