OT: Movies/TV Shows

[zeke]

Casino is legit great. For a while i was convinced it was better than Goodfellas. But in the end Goodfellas just had better energy even if Casino was more epic.

Oh no no no no no

So much no

Anyone remember Turbulence? What a piece of shit


RIP though

Zeke hates Liotta for being an adopted goombah.

 

[LeafGm]

Bracco also a terrible actor tho.

Bracco also loves cocaine and unhealthy food way too much. And is lazy as fuck.




…wait, no, that’s Jeremy I’m thinking of, not Lorraine.

 

[worm]

I was surprised to see him look weathered.

He was decent in smaller roles (Blow as one example I didn't see yet) but never turned into a guy that could carry a movie.

had no idea he was a fake wop.

but i guess my eyetyedar knew something was up.

Liotta, such a loss, even though he was criminally underutilized over the years.

To lighten the mood, I just saw this and loved it:

 

[Hoss]

Liotta belongs more with guys like Benicio Del Toro, Brian Dennehy, William H. Macy, Christopher Walken. Almost like they mostly played themselves more than guys that can play anyone.

Like "We need a Benicio Del Toro, Brian Dennehy, William H. Macy, Christopher Walken, Ray Liotta type for this role."

This is not a valid statement at all....
Del toro is phenomenal. And Walken is up there....two words Deer Hunter.

Liotta had good fellas and that's pretty much it.

 

[zeke]

Yes Ray Liotta is the Lorraine Bracco of male actors.

 

[oscarheyman]

Not one of Liotta's better films:




From the master of schlock, Uwe Boll. Boll made a few of these awful movies mainly to take advantage of German tax laws (so that even if the film lost money - which Boll's movies always did - they'd get back a bunch of money in 'tax breaks').

 

[Volcanologist]

well who could forget the sight of Ray chowing down on his own brain, lovingly fed to him by none other than Anthony Hopkins.

I feel like he had a bunch of good movies. And if he was in meh to bad ones, he always delivered on his role.

Neither of those guys are leading men. They're awesome as role players in great movies.

I wasn't saying that Liotta is as good as them, just that outside Goodfellas he's never been able to carry a movie.

Del Toro and Walken are both great actors. Not leading men though.

 

[zeke]

But Liotta was barely a passable supporting actor, either.

 

[Habsy]

He’s up there right now making sure zekes elevator goes down.

“I’ll give you bad actor paesan”

 

[Habspatrol]

Liotta's second best role.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

But Liotta was barely a passable supporting actor, either.

I present Cop Land to cement this argument

 

[habs25th]

Goodfellas, Field of Dreams, Heartbreakers, Dominick and Eugene

He was in the massively underrated Revolver by Guy Ritchie.
