I had the same issue. Wasn’t so bothered by it with Pesci or Pacino, but it was confusing with DeNiro. Dude never looked younger than like 60 at any point in the movie. And so much of the film takes place when that character is in his 30s/40s. Should have really put some effort into finding a serviceable actor that just looked a lot long young DeNiro. Probably would’ve been a tough search but doable.

You mean something like using a young Robert DeNiro instead of an old Brando to play Vito Corleone?

Watched it a decade ago and don't remember this.  What season, episode? 

 

Asking for a friend.

Damn, I honestly can't remember... It's definitely a cold open to an episode and it has to be somewhere in the first 3 seasons I'd think. 

[HaloMilliVanilli]

I'll probably binge all 5 seasons at work over the next 2 weeks.  I"ll put in the research for AW.  You're welcome!

The Irishman. Pretty solid. Keep me compelled for the entire 3 1/2 hours, but can't imagine ever watching it again. Pacino stole the show, and that may be the most calm I've ever seen Pesci in a movie.

Knives Out

Great ensemble murder mystery and my favorite non Bond performance by Daniel Craig.  Nice to see Cap USA play an entitled jerk who does not GAF.

I’ve never had cable so discovering this was an option was truly incredible.

Mandalorian, episode 4. Well done. Directed by Ron Howard’s daughter Bryce (the chick from Jurassic World who likes to run in high heels). Thought she did a solid job. 

The helmet is, um, interesting.

Knives Out was phenomenal. One of the most fun (funnest?) movies I've seen in recent memory.

Sunday nights are going to be boring once Watchmen and Mr. Robot finish their seasons.

Netflix:  The Irishman  Thought it was done in the typical style of most mob type movies.  With the typical actors playing the mob characters.  But it worked.  And now at least I know what happened to Jimmy.  It's a good watch if you are a Goodfellas/Casino type fan.

Starship Troopers was on last night. I love that movie!

The movie is based on a book about the main character. Many people, and a lot of evidence, suggest that his version of the truth isn’t all that accurate.

The Irishman was good but my expectations were too high and I wasn't buying younger De Niro

I read a Ringer article today that brought up a good point. Even if the CGI worked well (which it really didn't) you still have a dude that moves like he's in his 70s playing someone who is in their 30s.

Exactly. It was much more about his physical presence. They should have used a different actor for the younger version of the character.

I didn't care much for episode 4 of The Mandalorian.  Felt too canned/hero of the week to me.

That movie is like Shawshank.   If it's on, you just keep it on the channel.  But you really don't go out of the way and play it from your video collection.

Movie:  Ford vs Ferrari  A great car guy movie.  I'm going to look up the backstory, and see what was real/fiction.  I thought it was well done, actors were great, story was intriguing.  If you have any balls, it's worth at least a watch when it comes out on cable.
