I enjoy the insights posters have shared about this director. I do think he is talented, but sometimes he makes movies about such reprehensible characters that it is hard for me to emotionally engage in certain movies. There are times that he seems to love sliminess and “sickoness” just too much. Also, at times I wonder why he ignores the richness of solid dialogue in some of his movies when the words “F… and F…ing,” constitute 95% of the spoken language. (Once in a while he actually puts an article (a, an, and the) in between his F words). I’d like to see a few more nouns, pronouns and different verbs peppered in between his “F… you” dialogues. (No, I’m not a prude, but I like insightful dialogue.) I’d also like to see more interesting women in his movies. He is kind of a “Man’s Man” director. I never could get through Gangs Of New York or Bringing Up The Dead. On the other hand, I have really admired and enjoyed The Departed, Age Of Innocence, Shutter Island and The Color of Money. I thought Cape Fear was well-done. He can also draw excellent performances from his actors. I guess for my own personal taste, he is either a big hit or a big miss.

[OVERRATED GOODFELLAS - a repugnant, repellent, pointless piece of pulp TAXI DRIVER (see above) Sheesh. Marshall gets a few drinks down his hatch and he becomes Michael Medved. More like Ron Pulliam

El bruco dissing Goodfellas?? Go on. Go to the back. theres always one, isnt there! I accept the fact that the whole world thinks this a masterpiece. But, Me and Ron Pulliam refuse to go along with the brainwashing program!

You don't make up for your sins in the church. You do it here on the FSM message board. The rest is bullshit and you know it. J/K. I like Mean Streets just as much as Goodfellas.
