LORDS OF APATHY

CASINO

I've watched the movie Casino no less than 20 times in the last 3 or 4 months.  It comes on cable all the time during the vampire shift, and each time it seems like a little treat.  I'm not saying anything groundbreaking here, but Martin Scorsese knows what the fuck he's doing when it comes to making movies.  Try stomaching the movie 'Atonement'  more than once in a lifetime, and then tell me my guy Marty isn't the shit.
-And while we're on the topic, I'm calling it now; -if anyone decides to make a movie about Penn State's head football coach Joe Paterno, they need to cast Joe Pesci for the role. It'd be like casting Gary Busey to star in a movie about Nick Nolte (or vice-versa).

AMC runnin tings... seen that piece a grip myself... first half/setup insanely good... second half weak. Misfocused on some divorce court nonsense Sharon Stone plotline dribble for 2 hours. Don Rickles is the lick though... Kundun too

yeah, Scorsese is the shit. Cute too.

"There are a lot of holes in that desert and a lot of problems buried in those holes." Such a great line.

Yeah dude, Scorsezzzzz made James Woods all kinds of sexy in Casino. Lester Diamond? WOULD.

Best line THAT IS NEVER SAID in that movie is when Ray Liotta and his wife are fighting and she's basically saying he needs to chill out and he goes, "I'm still going out Karen!" I laugh everytime. Trust me, that line should have been in there. Karen is such a buzzkillington.
