And when you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss goes 8-8

I’ve been working my way through a lot of Scorsese’s stuff that I hadn’t seen previously over the last year or so. I was surprised at how much I liked The Age of Innocence, which seems at first to be outside Marty’s wheelhouse, but it’s a Scorsese movie through and through. Also, the Criterion release of his short films is great. Italianamerican is delightful and American Boy is a hell of a ride.

The only Scorsese movie I've felt "meh" about is The Color of Money. Everything else has been at worst great.

Boxcar Bertha is the weakest of his that I’ve seen but he was making that for Roger Corman so I get it. Weakest “established” Scorsese for me is probably Bringing Out the Dead, though I should probably give it another chance at some point.

I think Leo is pretty good in The Aviator and The Departed and The Wolf of Wall Street. Not so much in The Gangs of New York.

Me when Jack Nicholson is on screen in The Departed:





Not Scorsese related but a great chaotic Nicholson performance is The Witches of Eastwick.
