Hard to believe that Pacino is 79, Pesci and Travis are 76, until you see that movie. They can still act all the same.

Just finished it, very good to see all those guys very compis mentis in their late 70s. The section after the movie where the 4 of them talk about it is great insight into it, and them.

Thought it was excellent.Makes you wonder why DeNiro pi$$ed all over his legacy by doing all those shit movies between Goodfellas and this.

I enjoyed it except for the bits that looked to me like a cut scene from a video game.

At one point his De Niro's mouth was closed while it was meant to be open while talking.Only for a split second but still.

Jaws: The Revenge (1987)] I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific. 8)

Was it during a flashback scene? Might have been a glitch in the new rejuvenating software that Scorcese was convince to use. They discuss it in the informal chat between the 4 of them after the movie. It was used to great effect (mostly) for the flashbacks to when they were younger.

I think so.I actually watched it over two nights so can't remember exactly where but it was noticeable and made me think it was my TV's software trying to smooth the video rather than a special effects mess up at first.

Video games have been using similar-looking stuff for a few years.Still good though.I'm sure they'll get it perfected for future movies.

talkin to thicks in the car there seems to be a backlash because joe pesci did'nt beat anybody with a phonebook or stab anybody with a brick. it was the same when the sopranos ended and the eejits did'nt get their scarface ending.

I thought it was nice to see Pesci not being the gimp for a change.

What a load of rubbish. They should have used younger actors at the beginning like they did in Once Upon A Time in America, and then cut an hour of it.

Nah he plays a 76 year old, and the software makes him look younger for the flashbacks.
