“As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.” Everyone who’s seen Goodfellas at least a dozen times and can practically quote it from memory — virtually everyone who’s seen Goodfellas, in other words — knows what comes right before Ray Liotta says the line: a stabbed body, a bloody sheet, a bright-red glow coming from a car trunk. Everyone remembers what comes after it too, once the credits have rolled: A kid’s romanticized view of these neighborhood big shots, all flashy suits and fancy cars and colorful nicknames.

The backlash to the streaming service’s speedwatch feature exposes Netflix’s identity crisis: should it serve cinema, or just get rich trying?
‘It is what it is,” says the union boss Jimmy Hoffa (Al Pacino) during a tense pow-wow in the forthcoming gangster drama The Irishman. To which the mildly perplexed crime boss Anthony Provenzano (Stephen Graham) replies: “What is it?”
The same question might well be asked of Netflix. On one hand, the streaming service has stumped up the readies to enable some of the world’s finest film-makers to work without cuts or compromises: not only Martin Scorsese, who couldn’t get the $160m needed to make The Irishman from anywhere else, but Noah Baumbach (Marriage Story), David Michôd (The King) and Fernando Meirelles (The Two Popes). But then Netflix goes and spoils it all by saying something stupid like: “Who has time to watch movies anyway?...

I’ve got a new clip from Martin Scorsese’s upcoming mob epic The Irishman to share with you today! It’s an intense yet amusing moment where Stephen Graham‘s Anthony Provenzano is late to a meeting with Al Pacino’s Jimmy Hoffa, and he’s not a big fan of people being late to meetings! Robert De Niro’s Frank Sheeran is also a part of the scene.
This is one of those great dialogue and character-driven scenes that we love about the films Scorsese makes! I know the guy has been making waves with his comments about Marvel, but damn, the guy is a master storyteller and filmmaker. I can’t wait to see this movie! Check out the clip:
The Irishman is described as “an epic saga of organized crime in post-war America told through the eyes of World War II veteran Frank Sheeran, a hustler,...

No one in their right mind would keep Al Pacino waiting, but that’s what Stephen Graham‘s Anthony Provenzano does in a recently released clip from Martin Scorsese‘s mob epic, The Irishman. And understandably, he gets chewed out by Pacino’s powerful Teamsters leader Jimmy Hoffa in a monologue that speaks profoundly to the soul of every punctual person. Watch The Irishman […]
