AYYY THEYRE CRIMINALS EH BUT THEY GOT ZE MORALS CAZZO
How did Lester have a hold on Sharon stone's character. Watching pimp documentaries is perplexing why the girls dont just work alone.
YOU JEW FUCK
>>220571391uhhhh martybros…
Overrated crap
One of Marty's best.
It good but I still prefer Goodfellas
>>220571343its a good movie. not kino, but good. i can come back to it once or twice a year and enjoy it. its a bit sentimental for me because i remember my grandpa owning the 2-piece VHS set of it. sharon stone puts on the best performance of the starring actors i think she did a good job of portraying a hustler degenerate addicted whore. tommy's death scene is also fucking brutal
>>220571343God entertainment on how the Italian and jewish Mafia went to war with the Mormon Mafia
>>220571343Comfy satisfying ending.
>>220571343>Everyone turned out to actually be an informant IRL after this dropped: The Movie
>>220571418>the TV edit that redubs "motherfucking" to "money-grabbing"
I like that part where it just shits on Vegas boomers for a few minutes at the end.
>>220571395even waitresses snarl at each other when one takes a table the other believed would be hers.
>>220571343Jane Austen’s Mafia was better.
>destroys empire for some blown out whorethe film, part 42069
>>220572194That's just what they say to allow the jews to operate without punishment.
lesser version of Goodfellas but still good
>>220571343I've watched Goodfellas a million times but never seen Casino. Is it worth a watch?
>>220571395he groomed her from a very young age. She acted like her Dad but also lover. She truly loved him but he manipulated her to be like this.>>220573951yes definitely. its much prettier as a movie and Id say funny compared to Goodfellas
>>220571395Cause the idea is the pimp protects them from people not paying or thieves through violence
>>220571395IIRC from the book the film is based on they'd been together on and off since high school and even had a daughter together. dude got his claws in early and she never shook him offhonestly the film whitewashed both of them quite a bit
>>220571343scorsese whitewashed the jew in casino. he was also unironically fbi informant that's why they didn't kill him
Not a hype as watching it on HBO back when it was new. I was a little kid at the time. It was ultra kino. Watching it in 2026 it just isn't the same. It's not that the movie is bad, it's just that present times are so bad that NOTHING IS ENJOYABLE.
>>220571391I never understood why they thought this shot was good enough.
>>220571487Not at all.>>220571499Correct>>220571556>not kino It is.>>220572184Yup>>220573168Hilarious and still rings true to this day.
>>220575767It's a mystery.
>>220571395How do you think a pimp reacts when a girl says no to his “offer”? Not much to stop him from forcing her to work for him. The Lester diamond character was pretty ridiculous. I’m skeptical there’s any white pimps at the street level unless they’re 1%ers. Pimps are dangerous and extremely violent. They aren’t people you generally want to fuck with. They have to be because rival pimps will steal their girls and they have to be dangerous to keep the clients in line.
>>220571343That vice torture scene is brutal. A lot of it is brutal. Stellar acting all round. Sharon Stone really good at making you hate her
>>220576358Those are gorilla pimps and they are only a segment of them. Chappelle goes into the other type with some anecdote about iceberg slim. Two white pimps in media were the 12 monkeys one and the running scared one. Both ostentatious and scumbags.
>>220573951Yes. Pesci is even more unhinged in Casino
>>220571517If I must choose I would agree overall. Still they’re two different types of movies. Casino is a dark comedy with tons of great lines and hilarious scenes. Goodfellas obviously has great lines but it’s not a comedy. Good fellas is a gritty gangster movie. Casino is more like Donnie Brasco meets The Big Lebowski. Shitty description I know but I’m tired.
>>220571343Cucksino
>>220571391i look and sound like this
>>220576775hey it was my turn
>>220576789You smell like it too
>>220576828>stabs you in the neck with a penYOU MUTHAFUCKA WHAT DO YOU GOTTA SAY NOW YOU FUCKING CRYBABY!
>>220571343much better than Goodfellas
>>220571343I prefer it to Goodfellas. I think Ray Liotta was a good actor but I just didn't found his character in that movie interesting.
>>220571343Always the dollars always the dollars
>>220571343It was cruel what they did to Joe Pesci's character at the end. Of course the Shah got his revenge after goodfellas. Scorsese knew how to make a scene.
>>220571556Why does he dress up to look like rainbow sherbet iced cream?
>>220577498It's Nicky's own fucking fault for acting like an unhinged retard. All he had to do was chill in Vegas.
>>220571343overlong, too much narration, it's just ok
>>220574415>film whitewashed both of themthis is very antisemitic
>>220573951It’s not a bad flick. The runtime always gets me. There’s a spot where it feels like things should be wrapping up but there’s still an hour or so to go.
>>220576405how dare you mention a perfect kino like running scared in the same sentence as a trash movie like 12 monkeys in a thread about a trash movie like casino, you fucking faggot
>>220571343Cuckkino*
>>220571343I think he plays a better Jew than a mobster, I like it.
>>220571343Joyless and virtually unrewatchable
>>220571499I'd rather watch the Ginger Lynn cut.
>>220577421The book is good, Casino is fine just so short that I didn't get as much out of it
You watch a single Martin Scorsese movie and you've watched them all.
>>220571343For a movie that's 3 hours long it sure doesn't feel like it.Also every single woman I've met who likes mobster movies has told me that they hate Casino for some reason.
PPP needs to lose weight because he's too funny to die young
>>220575767It's literally 2 frames you fucking spastic
>>220578099Sandy vagina
>>220575767It made you talk about the scene decades later. Marty already knew all those tricks to get attention before Trump was a thing
Mogs Goodfellas in every way
>>220580259Ginger is too real, it’s like looking into a mirror and whores (all women) hate it.
>>220571343Scorsese don't miss
Last good movie deniro did. He should have been killed after 1995
>Le Jew but he has morals and cares for his wife
the hooker the senator brings back to his hotel room is a 10/10
>>220571343jews owned the casinos, not the italians. the italians were just frontmen. google it. entire movie is BS
Better than Midfellas but we're pretending its not for some reason.
What the FUCK was her problem?
>>220573951goodfellas and casino are two sides of the same coingoodfellas is all about the style, less about the substance. you've got a goated soundtrack, quippy lines, beautiful cinematography, and lol moments.casino is much much more dramatic, and heavily reliant on its substance. still great soundtracks and shots, and some funny lines (mainly from pesci), but less lol random moments.it's the closest scorcese would ever come to pulling a spielberg, where he does one fun movie and one serious movie at a time.overall both are solid 9/10s and should be in everyone's top ten gangster flicks.
I always felt like this was Goodfellas-lite, but now that I'm older I realize it's actually just as good. Also, I think Don Rickles with a shotgun is one of the greatest images in cinema history.
I actually slightly prefer it to Goodfellas. I think it's the Vegas aesthetic that does it for me
>>220571391It's bizarre because later in the movie they have a pretty good animatronic Joe Pesci getting buried in a corn field so they had access to some high quality body prop makers
>>220571343Who cares what these literal plebians think about undisputed kino
>>220584481This guy fucks
I rewatched it about 3 years ago, it kinda still slaps. That and Goodfellas are both GOAT
>>220584955i did a double feature last year, they both hold up very well.
>>220571343>boomers wasted THOUSANDS of dollars on shiny machines that make funny noises
>>220585197My parents still do. Every time they go out, that's all they do. If they're not playing poker machines, they're at home doing nothing. It's the only activity they do.
>>220571343Technically excellent film but i don't give a flying fuck about the subject matter, themes, setting, characters, plot etc. I can't stand all this mafia dick sucking tripe.
>>220571343i gave zero fucks about the romance subplotcompletely skipped through those>omg my mob wife is manic and crazydont give a shit
>>220571343It's a great movie, but it does end up feeling like one long montage broken up by more traditional scenes.
>all my life I wanted to be a casino
>one trick pony director makes same movie twice>everyone calls him a genious.
>>220587092You got filtered hard
>>220571343Great movie, I prefer it over Goodfellas.
>>220571391It was like a split second and everyone was watching on CRT's. You would have to be an autist to notice back then. Like when Simpsons fans caught the fast moving easter egg that said "If you are reading this you have no life"
>>220575882
>>220588392you would have to be a genuine retard not to notice the harsh cut into a terrible looking mannequin
>latter half of the movie fucking DRAGS>movie wants me to believe joe pesci of all people is the baddest motherfucker in town when he's looking up at the entire cast>movie wants me to believe a bunch of old fat fucks could ever properly carry out a hit instead of getting outrun when their heart gives up on them after 6 steps>those absolutely awful hit scenes with guns that look like they're weaker than the 5th cumshot of the day>the car bombing (nice practical effects marty)>main character is a cuck and is completely ok with itthis movie fucking sucks. at least all the parts explaining casino stuff are good
>>220571343Goodfellas but not as good
I think the best movie Scorsese ever made. Goodfellas is so massively overrated
>>220571343Goodfellas 2 : Gooder Fellas
I just don't get what make Deniro's character a cool tough guy who has the respect of Pesci and the others and is treated like a mafia bigshot. He never shows anything. He should have been more of a bean counter nerd.
>>220589120high earners in the mafia are very respected even if they're fucking retarded. the big boss even specifically tells nicky to protect him and watch out for him
>>220575767It was a joke, you autist.
>>220573951Casino is in a very similar style. But the voice-overs are overdone, so at times it's more like somebody reading you a story than an actual movie.
>>220576409He becomes a caricature of himself. His act is like a spluttering impersonation of Lou Costello.>why you jew mudda-fugga you
>>220581971This.
Casino is a fun Scorsese flick. Pesci is as always a convincing tough guy. Don't be like these pedantic anons in this thread and try and pick apart flaws, every movie has them. Just enjoy it for what it is.
>>220571343>what if I just remade Goodfellas but without Rey Liotta?
>>220589120>>220589226As far as peak La Costra Nostra was concerned, if you paid your cut up to them and made a lot of money, they weren't ever going to fuck you.
>>220587092>geniousI bet nobody calls you that.
>(first 90% of the movie that everyone remembers) Whoa look how cool organized crime and drugs are, everyone is so cool and awesome and sexy>(last 10% that no one ever quotes of brings up) heh but actually bad stuff happens to everyone so this movie is definitely NOT promoting or glorifying violent criminal behaviorJust like every scorcese slop
>>220588754/thread
>>220576358>>220576405>>220578099>>220571395Casino takes place in vegas in the 1970s, there were fewer than 150,000 people living in vegas at the time. That's why the pawn stars guy was able to get his pawn license. The old man owned like a coin shop or something and Rick was the first to file with the city when they hit some population mark that by statute created another pawn store license. I could believe there was a white pimp in vegas in the 70s when no one lived out there and it was a high traffic zone. Prostitution wasn't banned in Vegas until 1971 and even then it was legal in the rest of the state because the law only banned it in counties with more than 200,000 people which was just the county vegas was in
>>220571395Even independent sex workers today have to hire a "friend" to be available in case a client gets violent or doesn't pay.
>>220571343Genuine trash
Ever since this movie came out, the last three generations of every bouncer at every dive bar in North America has used someone's head to open a door, and it's hilarious T. Dive bar witnesser
>>220590588Every hooker I've known that said she had security was lying. One in particular told me she had a "guy friend" next door but she later admitted she tells every new client that to deter them from misbehaving.
