the scene at dinner - scorsese's ma had one line of dialogue 'did i ever show you my painting' and the rest was improv. tru movie fact.

wasn't bob's mother a painter?

you cant really fuck with this movie

I was watching the edited for TV version of this on A&E this weekend, it was hilarious to see the "revised" Joe Pesci dialogue.

"see" = "hear"

i dunno if it's deliberate, but during the godhead 'jump into the fire', there's a bit where his bro makes henry get himself checked out in hospital, and a doctor says "come on, let me check you out", and nilsson just then says "you can shake me up". uh anyway it sounds like "you can check me out". that sounds kind of gay, but i just wanted to emphasize how awesome that sequence is really.

I can't hear the intro to "What is Life" now without looking up for helicopters.

"A salute (finishes drink). Now go home and get your fucking shinebox."
"MOTHERFUCKER"

"Ah now, you insulted him a little bit"

ya feel strong?

I didn't want to get blood on your floor

knowing joe pesci and frank vincent's background just makes that scene even awesomer.

"What am I, a schmuck on wheels?"

and what what is that

one dog's facing one way, the other's facing the other way. and this guy's saying, "what do you want from me?"

is Donovan really this much of a tw*t?

Watch it again. Ascend from the viscuous mudslick of sickly, abject wrongness you're currently slopping around in like giddy dungbeatles.

Business been bad?

FUCK YOU.

PAY ME.

Oh, you had a fire?

FUCK YOU,

PAY ME

Place got struck by lightening?

IM SORRY FOR YOUR LESS. YOU DONT HAVE TO PAY ME.

i mean loss.

I love how I wrote "dungbeatles" as opposed to dungbEEtles.

Yea, you know its bad when the drugged out rat that the film 'Good-fellows' was about 'drops in' at the Northridge mall looking to score some drugs.

This guy is about 80 and a mess.

Somehow he had heard of the 'great prices on pills this summer at the mall' and decided to check it out?

He is not in hiding or on the 'lam' or whatever and was just on Howard Stern and a bunch of other stuff so he doesn't care. Lives in Topanga or Malibu.

About Two weeks ago, I guess he was wandering around drunk or high looking for some more drugs by the Pacific Movie Theaters on Friday night. This guy is not the sort of guy you want your kids around. I am not saying that he is a giant perv or something, but is this the guy you want your kids to talk to for the next Four hours?

Yea, that's pretty bad when the drugged out guy that ratted on an entire crime family decides to venture to your nice little mall and try to get some drugs.

Is it time to stop dropping of your kids for guys like Henry to play with?

I wonder when parents will get it.

How did he hear about the drug trade being sooo great at the mall when he is all the way in Malibu?

It's hard to think that a guy that old would do 'X,' but you never know.

Maybe he was here for the teen prostitution trade in front of the Theatres? I don't think he would be 'up' for it.

Someone said he just heard it was a cool scene and that kind of makes sense.

If he is in Malibu, going anywhere near Hollywood would take hours. Beyond that, no one in Malibu will sell drugs to him because they know he is an idiot and the prices have shot way up because of all the drug wars in Mexico. Most of the drugs that are on the coast come from Mexico through the sea. Makes sense huh?

But something is going on in Northridge were either they are making it in Canoga Park or with the closure of so many medical places in Northridge, they are raiding them and getting tons of pills. As far as the 'X,' it may be easier now to just make it in the hills or wherever than getting it from the war torn Mexico.

I am not sure, but I am sure that soo many people know about the prostitution and drug trade at the Northridge Mall that stoned idiots like Henry are bound to avoid all the traffic and high prices of Hollywood and come over the hill to watch all the little kids run around and take pills, trade sex for drugs and create one of the greatest places I have ever seen to hide drug deals at a Mall.

In fact, I am surprised that there have not been more sightings of old waste cases like Henry. But then, who would be able to tell? There are no parents or even anyone over 14!

That's great, now we have the lowest of the low cavorting with your daughters simply because you cant stop dropping off your kids to create an environment ripe for drugs and the periodic Mafia rat.

You know Northridge has gone down to tubes and the parents have really stopped caring when Henry Hill shows up and wants to buy pills from your daughters friends.

Liotta: For the scene at Tommy's mother's house, I don't think Marty gave his mom a script. I remember Joe saying, "Mom, I need this knife. We hit a deer, we got to cut off its—" and he can't remember it, and Bob jumps in as he's eating "—hoof." There was a lot of improv. And then they're talking about the guy [with the dogs] in the painting. Joe says, "One dog goes one way, and the other dog goes the other way. And this guy's saying, What do you want from me?" I don't know where the fuck that came from. To this day, it's really funny.

not otm:

De Fina: The previews were scary. By the time Spider gets killed, the audience would get angry. The audience wanted to go back to having fun. The movie was taking them someplace they weren't sure they wanted to go. A lot of people didn't like the part when he was on drugs; it would agitate them. At one point, we wound up hiding in a bowling alley because the audience was so angry. One guy wrote FUCK YOU all over the comment card.

One guy wrote FUCK YOU PAY ME all over the comment card.

sounds like the audience was a lot like Pauline Kael

what i love about that scene w/tommy's mom is how they're all "hey looks like someone we know, lol!" like a couple of kids would do in front of a mom, like being clever and talking in a roundabout way in front of her about something they don't really want to tell her about.

Pesci and Scorsese's mom telling the joke about the quiet man and then explaining how it sounds better in Italian is one of the most authentic moments.

And if you had tried to get me to guess which 90s movie almost had Tom Cruise and John Malkovich starring in the lead roles, I would have never guessed this one.

Tom decided it was a little too Rain Man
