That's preposterous. Just because the two movies are about the mafia, and are done in the same "style" doesn't mean he shouldn't have done the movie. Casino is a great film, not the masterpiece that goodfellas is, but still one of my favorite movies and extremely well made and acted. If the only films that entertain you are "completely original" material, then I feel sorry that you rarely are entertained.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I think Scorsese's incredibly overrated post "King Of Comedy." "Goodfellas," "Gangs of New York" and "The Departed" were decent." "Casino" wasn't bad but it was more of the same, and Joe Pesce is just awful. Once was enough.

Holy fuck.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

We don't all like the same things but only a retard thinks Joe Pesce can act.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Pesci.

And you're nuts. Pesci might be a one-trick pony (that's as far as I'm willing to go), but he's fucking awesome at that one trick.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

A trick is good only the first time you see it.

And so I'm nuts. I'm too old to give a shit whether anyone shares my likes or dislikes...unless we're talking about baseball.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
And I guess I'm retarded.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Only if you give a shit that I think Pesci fans are retarded. Seriously, do you give a shit?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Not really.

But I just assumed that if you're willing to make a statement like that, you're also willing to discuss your side of it. If you'd rather just say Joe Pesci fans are retarded and then move on to the next thread, that's fine too.

Fair enough. Pesci plays Pesci, mad Pesci, goofy Pesci...it's a cartoon and boring to me and I've never seen him strike an emotional note that seemed genuine or difficult.

You want actors. DeNiro is an actor. Daniel Day Lewis is an actor. I'm coming around on DiCaprio. I think Pesci is a hack.
