Dante posted:That's just part of the story that echoes the story from the book, and from the FBI Hoffa files. In the movie it's all weird because in one scene that's a devoted adopted son literally rushing a gunman for him and then he's helping him kill him...but then we learn he didn't know he was helping to kill him?? And then he disappears from the story, with no mention of how this might be an issue. This is part of the weird "movie can't decide what it wants to be" part for me. It wants to put in all these fun little pieces from the book, but the cast becomes so large it's impossible to tell it all in a coherent way even with a 3 hour + runtime. It's probably because the book is based on a whole bunch of lies.

Having a goofy stand up comic play a mob boss was more distracting than the de-aging.

Yeah I was thinking why is he calling a guy his age "kid"?

I didn't have a problem telling those apart he just didn't look as young as he was supposed to be and there wasn't much of a progression as he aged. The CGI wasn't distracting he just looked close to the same age as Pesci when they met.

It wasn't that it took me out of the movie it's that I didn't even realize how young he/they were supposed to be.

Khablam posted:There's also some weirdness around the picture quality in the film. Given there's noise over their CGI faces, and it's consistent with the rest of it, I suspect they've used digital de-noising on the whole image, and then added noise back in artificially. There's just a consistent 'digital' feel to what is apparently a film mostly shot on 35mm. I had assumed while watching it was shot digitally since it had that look throughout.

romanowski posted:I have never noticed digital blood in my life and I don't care to look up examples of it because it seems like a "once you notice it" thing and I would prefer to live in blissful ignorance I didn't even think it was one of those things you have to notice it's so obvious compared to physical squibs.

I don't know how making it a miniseries would change anything since the proper way to watch them or regular series is to binge them anyway.

The worst part of that scene was the bad CGI glass when he first kicks the guy out. Not sure why he chose to use a wide shot there it wouldn't have looked good even with a body double.
