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!).

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.

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

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.

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)

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

― cinniblount (James Blount), Friday, 20 August 2004 03:12 (nineteen years ago) link

Even if the only great scenes were the ones with DDL you'd still have a kick ass movie considering he's onscreen as much (and possibly more?) than LD, but:

the opening march out to the battle, the final shot, and I liked the "Irish off the boat and into uniform" bit.

― Gear! (Gear!), Friday, 20 August 2004 03:18 (nineteen years ago) link

o man that last one's too corny for the history channel even

― cinniblount (James Blount), Friday, 20 August 2004 03:19 (nineteen years ago) link

i should say that gony is one of my favoritest books ever so i'm possibly being one of those geeks

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

The movie is infinitely better when DDL shows up, which is often fortunately.

― Gear! (Gear!), Friday, 20 August 2004 03:21 (nineteen years ago) link

apparently this is "gony"

after hours was my favorite film ever in high school, I think I watched it about 20 times. I'm afraid I'd think it looked very dated these days and actively avoid it when I run across it on cable.

King of Comedy is very underrated!

The best works of Alfred Hitchcock look a bit dated now too --- does that mean they're any less brilliant?

what hitchcock films look dated?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 20 August 2004 03:48 (nineteen years ago) link

actually i don't think looking dated is neccessarily a bad thing, in fact it is often a good thing

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 20 August 2004 03:49 (nineteen years ago) link

silent movies are so dated!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 20 August 2004 03:49 (nineteen years ago) link

anyway i just re-read easy riders raging bulls, god is that ever a fun book to read. you can read in a weekend, easy. lots of fun and many hilarious embarrassing spielberg stories.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 20 August 2004 03:49 (nineteen years ago) link

also as much as i rep for goodfellas i think gangs of new york may be the worst fucking movie i have ever seen

I would kill to have that mad 60's pad from Rope. Or any of the cars in Vertigo. Or a Farley Granger suit from Strangers on a Train. Dated? No. Crazy crazy stylish.

I think the only things in the world that are truly dated are codpieces and formal hats.

ERRB is surprisingly good - snotty and trashy, but enormously compelling even if you have little interest in the era or the mythologizing (like me).

I lurrrrrrved GONY when it came out, but after shelling out for the DVD I realized what a turd it was without the visceral theater experience. Daniel day-lewis was totally fucking electric and hilarious though (deniro really couldn't have pulled that off) and his moustache still dangles in my mind like the sword of damocles. He should be in EVERY MOVIE :(
