Isn’t that why they wrote it that way? Give the character revenge in an in-joke way?
Yep, Pesci has killed frank vincent twice IIRC so was due a bit of payback and what better way that batts with a bat
I went to see this tonight. I thought it was excellent. Great performances all round. It depicted the smoky folk clubs of 1960’s new york really well. Ed Norton man of the match.

I enjoyed it though it hasn’t aged as well as i thought it would. Gabriel Byrne seems to be a great bloke but he is a poor actor. Spacey and Postlewaite outstanding

Byrne is a bit of a ham in it as is Del Toro when compared to some of his later work.

Went to his one man show last year/year before. Solo act on stage, recounts his life. Liked him going in. Walked out halfway through. Hes a blistered knob.

Went to the Robbie Williams movie, Better Man, tonight. Loved it. A solid 4/5.

Just out of The Brutalist. Great first act and intermission was a nice treat as you’d never get to chat to the stranger a row ahead still atein popcorn 2 hours into a film usually. The second act was decent but without spoilering things the last 5 minutes sullied the picture for me.
4 hours is a big commitment and I just don’t think Brutalist warranted it. Guy Pearce is the best in show.

Watched The Nickel Boys yesterday, shot mainly in the first person between the two main characters. A sad enough tale from Jim Crow times and the nickel school seemed to have been a similar enough enterprise to the industrial schools we had here at the same time.
A sad enough ending but worth a watch
Blue Velvet just started on bbc 2. Should get the best Hopper scenes soon

Starting now on BBC4, don’t think I’ve seen it since Mrs. Jones and I saw it in the Nenagh picture hall when it came out. A stone cold masterpiece, by a genius. Elephant Man on later too
