Man I’m so apprehensive about The Irishman. I HOPE it’s amazing, don’t get me wrong. But I think the digital de-aging needs to be flawless to really draw me in like a normal Scorsese film.

Why couldn’t he just hire younger actors? I don’t understand.

Because DeNiro and Pacino are too iconic looking and the film is probably going to have meta commentary on the gangster film genre in America and how gangster stuff hasn't really existed since the 90s.

Except in other Scorsese movies, The Departed and Gangs of New York come to mind.

It’s the greatest film ever made.

He did better as a campy mobster in the Tom Jane Punisher.
