I like how the subtitle to the book the film was based on includes the phrase "Life on the Run". I think Henry is confused as to what that actually entails, ie not multiple books, film consulting, photos of yourself on the internet, and calling Howard Stern daily.

I bet he owns a t-shirt that says "I'M HENRY HILL" on it.

this guy REALLY shouldn't be too hard to track down

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 19 August 2004 17:37 (nineteen years ago) link

I think they just stopped caring, they probably all think the movie was awesome.

― Allyzay Science Explosion (allyzay), Thursday, 19 August 2004 17:39 (nineteen years ago) link

I was going to say that, too. Goodfellas is part of ganster mythology now. And besides, didn't he send all his enemies to prison, anyway?

― Harold Media (kenan), Thursday, 19 August 2004 17:40 (nineteen years ago) link

the real henry hill looks crap.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 19 August 2004 17:42 (nineteen years ago) link

Then he's an American hero, surely. (I admit hadn't heard about the cookbooks, though, he should get on Emeril and then he can arrange a little 'accident' involving Bobby Flay and a cooking knife.)

Scorsese should really make a sequel to Goodfellas. It's not like Hill hasn't provided the material.

haha he puts words in his own mouth that were part of the film's screenplay!!!

o lord

Another Goodfellas? Goodfellas Forever? Goodfellas Returns? Goodfellas II: The Legend Of Pesci's Gold?

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 19 August 2004 18:03 (nineteen years ago) link

amateurist what do you mean? (a lot of the screenplay, especially the VOs, was taken straight from the book)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 19 August 2004 18:04 (nineteen years ago) link

oh and anthony the answer is obviously "betterfellas"

oh shit are you quitting?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 19 August 2004 18:05 (nineteen years ago) link

I was surprised, recently, to see so many continuity things, esp in the karen giving henry food and drugs and stuff, in jail, scene.

oh, just the angle changes and that they had given the kids coloured building blocks, to play with, which, of course, wouldn't be in the right places. I hadn't really noticed, before.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 19 August 2004 18:09 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh, yeah. The kids' blocks moving around and changing colors. Paulie's cigar does some weird things when the tiki bar guy has his sit-down about Tommy. The wine changes levels in the "Think I'm funny?" scene.

Even still...

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Thursday, 19 August 2004 18:11 (nineteen years ago) link

I love the sit-down about tommy, too.

Tom you should play that movie as the back drop when you get married.

WHAT IF SCORSESE HAD DIRECTED PORN?

"After Whores"
"The Last Penetration of Christ"
"Coprophaging Bull"
"Assino"
"Gangbangs of New York"
"KuMdun"
"Cape Queer"
"Creamed Sheets"

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 19 August 2004 18:46 (nineteen years ago) link

That is indeed. Dune seems to be handy for backdrops for things (I have one friend still insisting that a combination of Dune visuals and Dead Can Dance audio and LSD was the best high of her life, and really, who am I to gainsay her?)

i was at one wedding where, during the cutting of the cake, the father of the groom intoned, "the slow blade penetrates the shield..."

You are shitting me. Somebody hire this man for voiceovers.

dude was an ex-army colonel, too!

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Thursday, 19 August 2004 18:50 (nineteen years ago) link

I know it's not done to laugh at one's own jokes, but I'm quite proud of myself for both "Coprophaging Bull" and "Creamed Sheets". Clearly, I've missed my calling.

Amateur!!!st stole my joke (Goodfellas II: The Goodfellating!).

the big shave

Sharon Stone IS cocaine.

― sexyDancer, Thursday, 19 August 2004 21:01 (nineteen years ago) link

she is fucking great in casino (my favourite scene: when she's talking to james woods on her wedding day and he's all "i'm looking at you...")

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 19 August 2004 21:03 (nineteen years ago) link

wait wait wait scorsese had a cocaine period? that's distressing. he's like the world's biggest film nerd.

when he first spots stone--that's a moment man.

― amateur!!!st (amateurist), Friday, 20 August 2004 02:42 (nineteen years ago) link

amateurist i woulda figured for sure you'd read that easy riders raging bulls book

― cinniblount (James Blount), Friday, 20 August 2004 02:47 (nineteen years ago) link

Totally derailing here, but what the fuck's wrong with Gangs of New York? It's so big that whatever faults it may have are cancelled out by something truly great.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Friday, 20 August 2004 02:50 (nineteen years ago) link

not enough pesci.

― Harold Media (kenan), Friday, 20 August 2004 02:53 (nineteen years ago) link

too much cgi

― cinniblount (James Blount), Friday, 20 August 2004 02:53 (nineteen years ago) link

that thing shoulda been just broadbent and daylewis rockin it.

― cinniblount (James Blount), Friday, 20 August 2004 02:54 (nineteen years ago) link

blount i'm not generally too interested in the whole "film brat" generation/70s hollywood stuff, i mean compared to other film stuff. also the book sounds kind of gossipy, which would probably make me mad. but you can try to convince me otherwise!

god daniel day lewis is the fucking BOMB (that movie sucked tho)

― amateur!!!st (amateurist), Friday, 20 August 2004 02:55 (nineteen years ago) link

He a had cocaine'n'Liza Minnelli period

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Friday, 20 August 2004 02:56 (nineteen years ago) link

i met his daughter, now i feel bad for her if her dad had a fucking cocaine period when she was a small child.

― amateur!!!st (amateurist), Friday, 20 August 2004 02:58 (nineteen years ago) link

haha i didn't actually read it (and i LOVE gossip)(i think part of me just though 'man i bet 80% of that book is about who margot kidder blew'), i rented the documentary tiein to it - cw101: excess (coke, egos) + success (lucas, spielberg) = end to 'auteur's era' in hollywood (gag). they followed peckinpah to the dreary end (instead of stopping with pat garrett which is how most people think), and didn't even bother to whisper 'cimino' once. 'salright, bob evans book better on both counts i'm sure.

scorsese's a total slut for girls who's dads he worshiped.

― cinniblount (James Blount), Friday, 20 August 2004 03:00 (nineteen years ago) link

Everyone in ERRB seemed like a big jerk.

I learned about Scorsese's coke period from the Warhol Diaries, read that instead, amateurist!

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Friday, 20 August 2004 03:04 (nineteen years ago) link

o god ditto to that - warhol diaries fantastic esp. all the 'basquiat didn't bathe again' stories.

― cinniblount (James Blount), Friday, 20 August 2004 03:07 (nineteen years ago) link

My copy is MISSING and I wanna read it so bad.

one of the bars i go to has a copy and if i go there and noone i know is there (or sometimes even if they are) i'll sit at the bar and read it for hours. that's the sort of thing that's adorable if you're 18 but sad as fuck if you're 28.

― cinniblount (James Blount), Friday, 20 August 2004 03:10 (nineteen years ago) link

name three great scenes in gangs of new york that don't have daniel day-lewis in them
