Hack the planet!

ive posted this poo poo opinion before, but gangs of new york is a fun as hell movie and only suffers from miscasting in a couple rolls (diaz was an awful choice). ive watched it like 5 times. everyone is a cartoon in it especially daniel day lewis who rules hard.

I'm in the "loved Gangs of New York" camp, as well. It has its flaws and a bit on the nose about delivering "messages" but holy hell DDL is amazing in it, Leo is good to okay-ish, Diaz was a miscast, and by lord I can infinitely watch the opening fight and Fighter/Cleric Multi Classed Liam Neeson yelling :byodood: PREPARE TO RECEIVE THE TRUE LORD! :byodood:

I'm really enjoying Wandavision. The way it integrates the incongruities with the sitcom plots until something happens that is too incongruous to just be smoothed over, at which point Wanda has to explicitly reject it to keep the world going is really neat.

DDL hamming it up almost makes it worth a watch if not for.. everything else going on in it.

The Departed didn’t even really feel like a scorcese film, it felt more like a bourne identity gangster film but could just be due to matt damon.

I just realized aside from seeing Taxi Driver last year and parts of The Aviator back when it got released on video, I've somehow skipped Scorsese.

Okay I think Wandavision might actually be really good. I feel like maybe the first two episodes could be have been edited down into a single episode, but the pacing in ep3 was much better

S tier: Silence
A tier: The Irishman, Casino, Goodfellas
B tier: Shutter Island, Raging Bull, Wolf of Wall Street
C tier: The Departed, The Last Temptation of Christ
D tier: Gangs of New York

Haven't seen the rest (the only ones on my watchlist are Taxi Driver, Mean Streets, Cape Fear, and Bringing Out The Dead)

Mind you Scorsese's D tier is still like an 8.5 stars out of 10 on an objective scale. It appears that the man is incapable of making a bad film

Taxi Driver is S tier.
Cape Fear is B tier (but really fun).

Also, there's a Patreon update...

Hey everyone! We just shot a new Best of the Worst. It's our first Plinketto episode in over a year! It also gave us a chance to film with our new lights, pictured above. We were long, loooooong overdue for an upgrade on our lighting. The dummies are not a part of the episode by the way.

We're also planning to shoot a new Half in the Bag very soon for the movies Synchronic and Psycho Goreman, which just came out on VOD today and may or may not feature a tiny voice cameo from some guy named Rich Evans.

Well ain't that precious?

So apparently Rich Evans has a voice cameo in Pyscho Goreman according to a Patreon post. It came out today, and I've been looking forward to it since the trailer came out.

You watched Silence and not Taxi Driver or Mean Streets?!

Also, where does this "S" tier system come from? What is "S"? And yeah, Hugo was good enough for kids, I guess, but not great. I forgot it and Bringing Out the Dead were even Scorsese. Gangs of New York gets a pass because it's just so fun and weird. Definitely feels like he ran out of money or something, but whatever.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

DDL carries it. In fact the entire cast is absolute fire.... except for Leo and Diaz lmao. Also the editing, usually a stronger point in Scorsese movies, kinda sucks somehow?
