Film Casino

[Carl Landrover]

It's about 3 hours iirc.. If somehow you can get an updated blu-ray version I would think it would be worthwhile.

When I watched it a long time ago on vhs afterwards I considered it to be up there with films like The Deer Hunter and Taxi Driver...not quite as good.

Hugo is an underrated Scorcese film, I thought it was exemplary.

I think there might be a few versions of Once Upon a Time in America. The version I have is 3:49 long. Apparently there's an extended directors cut that's 4:11 long and there's a re-cut that is 2:19. I've never seen any version. I think the 3:49 is the most common.

It's on my "Movies to watch" list, but so are about a hundred other films.

Id go either 3:49 or 4:11, if you watch the 2:19 first it would probably ruin the other two.

yeah...it's long..

....Hey, is that why all of a sudden I'm the person who started this thread and made that weak ass poll?

Ha, yeah. Got a bit confused with the merging and the UAing.

Because I know how to read nonfiction?

Also, the word was 'stereotypical,' which is close to 'typical' but not interchangeable.

Let's not forget these movies (Casino and Gooodfellas) are very accurate representations of what ACTUALLY happened. Many of the events (especially in Goodfellas) actually happened. The same with Casino, but with a little more artistic license. Both classics. Masterpieces of our time.

It's funny, I watched a Bronx Tale with a black girl I was trying to sleep with, not even remembering all of the racial parts of the movie. She had never seen it before. She loved it and I got laid.


Ahhh.....to be a young 20 year old man without a care in the world.....now everyday (for years) I wake up and wonder if today is actually worth living or not

Sorry about the sad commentary and rambling at the end.

Y wouldn't anyone in the bar call the police?

In this situation? 3 likely reasons:

1. fear of retaliation

2. Omerta

3. They really, truly just don't give a fuck

Jibult, please don't feed the question troll. If you'd like to continue, then by all means do. However, if you look at his post/thread-starting history you will see that you are wasting your time by answering.

Just not familiar with him, is all. Gotcha.

I feel like we're going over the same thing in some kind of loop like some sort of Looper

Looper sounds like a name you'd call a lazy homeless person. Sitting around all loopy all day. Meanwhile Snoopy is getting pissed because these damn bums are ruining "oopy" words.

Casino does "Everything Turns To Shit" really well. On par with Goodfellas, almost.

I thought Casino was an infinitely better movie than Goodfellas.

Goodfellas had the better soundtrack tho.

Maybe it's actually a compliment to her acting, but this was the only movie where I was glad to see a woman (Sharon Stone) get beat up. What a bitch.

I had a girlfriend tell me after we had been together for a couple years that her movie fantasy life was to be sharon stone in casino....

That revelation foreshadowed the future of our relationship.

 

[Speed King]

Casino was a great movie, but the gangster flick, with the same two guys, better cast, better soundtrack, exciting fast pace is GoodFellas, FTW !

 

[FredPollok]

Yeah, that's the best movie ever!
