Goodfellas - Comedy Every Time

[skra75]

I'm watching goodfellas. god I fucking love this movie. Just watched the part where they stomp the jesus out of the guy in the bar while Donovan is playing. I laughed so hard I cried.

[skra75]

"in prison, dinner was always a big thing"

"i felt he used too many onions, but it was still a very good sauce..."

[cubsfirstplace]

jimmy two times is just amazing

"i'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers"

[Bob]

ya stutterin' prick ya

i just watched it last week or so for the first time in a long time. yes, it is good

[abcdefz]

I asked for spaghetti in marinara sauce; they brought me egg noodles and ketchup.

[abcdefz]

I think Goodfellas might just be the best-constructed movie ever made. And the kid who played Henry as a boy never gets enough credit.

Ray Liotta, too. He really is amazing in that role. (y)

[Loppfessor]

I watch that movie at least once a month...but usually more often than that

[beastiegirrl101]

Christopher from the Soprano's is the kid in the bar that they shot his foot...and Joe Pesce eventually kills.

Chistafa!!!

[abcdefz]

Yup.

"Go fuck yourself, Tommy."


"Whoah!!! The kid's got balls! You gonna let him get away with that? What is this world coming to!? "

[skra75]

"Did Tommy tell you about my painting?"
"Look at this. It's beautiful."
"One dog goes one way and
the other goes the other."
"One's facing east, the other west."
"He's saying, "Whaddya want from me?""

I just wanted to post my love for this movie.

I could watch it like every day.

I like the part where Lorraine Bracco goes to see Jimmy when Henry's in jail and he offers her some clothes and she knows its a trap and its this battle of subtext between the two actors. So choice.

Great, amazing scene. I remember actually feeling scared for her.

"come on henry...i'm tryin to bang this jew broad"

[abcdefz]

The only thing that bugs me is when Henry goes to pistol whip the guy who date-raped (?) his girl, you can see the dude's hand go up and smash a squib against his face before Henry gets the first smack in. It's staged all right, but the actor executes it badly.

of course now there's no way i'm ever going to not notice that again

[skra75]

yeah that's too bad I love that scene. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to walk up and pistol whip someone like that.

[abcdefz]

Glad I could be there for ya.

Norman Bates is his own mother, btw. (y)

"If you ever touch Karen again, you're DEAD! You hear me? You're DEAD!"



"...I have to admit: it turned me on..."

[skra75]

"So, what does she do after she hangs up with me? After everything I had told her? After all her yeah, yeah, yeah, bullshit? She picks up the phone and calls from the house. Now, if anybody was listening, they'd know everything. They'd know that a package was leaving from my house and they'd even have the time and the flight number. Thanks to her."

[abcdefz]

"I'm stirring it, I'm stirring it!"


I'm so fucking glad I got to see that movie in a theater. That coke sequence was particularly awesome large. (y)

[skra75]

It is. It's fucking nuts. Best part of the movie, soundtrack rocks too with the "Nillson". Lately my life has been alot like this scene, minus the coke and the helicopters and the police (of course).

Jump Into The Fire Nillson

i thought it was a code name or something, i dunno, i've never watched it with the captions on

[Extra Cheese]

italian people get all silly when this movie comes up in conversation. they turn into made men and shit.

The actual soundtrack -- unless they fleshed out the CD -- is really short. It's cenetered more on the 50's/'60's stuff. I think the only '70's song is (literally) the outro to "Layla."

Hey, man -- spoiling Memento was YOUR fault. Don't pin that shit on me. That movie is scared.




























Jesus gets crucified, btw, but it all ends up okay. He's risen from the dead. (y)

that scene where young henry shadows the old mobster with an umbrella so he can make a call from a phone booth, that's right in front of a friend of mine's house.

also the long steadicam scene (i think its that one, definately one of the club scenes) where henry takes his lady out for the first time....
... a waiter brings a table to the front and another brings a bottle of wine compliments of some other patrol... the wine waiter was my college crime film professor.

I've got the soundtrack. Layla is the only 70's song. One song I really would up liking is Beyond the Sea by Bobby Darin.

I've seen Goodfellas at least, at least, 150 times. Seriously. That fucking movie is better that oxygen.

"I can't believe you wasted eight fuckin' aprons on this guy. You're a real fuckin' jerk, ya' know dat?"

Great, great version of that song. (y)
