These 2 images look off to me. Is the label outside of the plastic on the top edge?
No the label is in the case.
I am not inclined to suspect fraud over a grading issue.
Thanks, it just looked like it was outside. My first instinct wouldn't be to suspect fraud either, but it's definitely some form of an error. CGC wouldn't give that book a 9.8 in its current condition (without extreme oversight on the graders' part). Maybe they gave it a label that was meant for another book? I'd return it as not as described.

Now I just need a auto-grammer so it can write sentences from my mind and put them into understandable anglish sentences...

This direct green has the "poly-bag removed" notation.
And this direct (purple web) has no notation.
Shouldn't it be the other way around? Is this just bad labelling from CGC? Just trying to learn the differences.

Some manufacturing errors get green labels, but I'm not sure how they decide which ones.

Some people have a narrow berth for movies
I really enjoyed this movie, like I really enjoyed marvel movies, no more no less
Indeed. I personally don't understand the offence taken by Scorsese's Marvel comments. I agree with him in fact.
Marvel films are not "cinema" the same way (most) popular fiction is not "literature" and Swatch watches aren't "haute horology".
It doesn't mean they aren't highly likeable, entertaining and worthy of praise in their own right. Simply that they don't have superior or lasting artistic merit.
I shouldn't have to say this, but since it seems to be a very touchy subject, I will: This is my opinion, and it is based on my own interpretation of what Scorsese meant by his comments. I understand that others may have a different opinion, and I am not saying those are invalid or wrong.

Darth Maul at the end?
SpoilerLots of people are theorising that it's Boba Fett. I'm not sure I agree, and also kind of hope he's not back from the dead. I know he survived in Legends, but if they continue with bringing presumed dead characters back (Palps, Maul etc) then it really lessens the effect and makes death meaningless.

Not on Broadway, but I saw the Lion King in London a while back, and this year, the St. Petersburg ballet’s production of Swan Lake, both with the wife. I actually enjoyed both. Not to the point I’d run back but every once in a while would be ok with me.
Not sure if it counts but in high school I took an 1/8 of mushrooms and went to the Ringling Bros. Circus in Hartford with a few friends. To this day, that’s still the strangest experience of my life.

Surely you have something you could copy and paste here by now?

Brilliant. DeNiro erased a decade of mostly terrible acting choices, that will and should be forgotten, with an amazing performance; the wordless scene of the drive from the Detroit airport to the house is an incredible display of bravura.
I also loved the conversation about the fish
One of the best scenes in the film IMO.

Got any Pictures?
Are the pictures not showing? I can see them in the post. Let me know
I can see them, I could see them yesterday too
At least some numbskull didn't come along and quote him (without editing). That's my biggest board pet peeve

bronze 9.8 slabs

That's not a bronze book.

Is this sarcasm that's gone over my head? I searched "Spider-man 1 Mcfarlane 9.8" on Ebay and counted 60+ CGC 9.8s on the first page of results alone.

Is this photo real?
Supposedly it is.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Sheeran
Frank Sheeran was 6'4" tall compared to Robert Deniro's 5'10" height. So they had to lift him up a tiny bit.
Yeah, I remember seeing that photo early on when the film was shooting, definitely real. I think Pacino's pigeon toed stance is even funnier than DeNiro's shoes though
Looks like one leg is trying to walk one way and the other one is going somewhere else.

5 hours ago, zosocane said:another nostalgic review of 1960s and 1970s Italian-American mafia life and, thus, a parody of Casino and Goodfellas. Nothing new here.
I couldn't disagree with this more. This film was was very different to Goodfellas and Casino, in my opinion of course.
Tonally, the latter were high energy and fast paced, The Irishman was brooding and slow.
Goodfellas and Casino were celebratory and glorified the mob lifestyle. The Irishman focuses on regret and despair from an aged man trying to understand how he ended up where he did and how he betrayed those he cared about. The hits themselves were depicted matter of factly, and the lifestyle was further de-glamorized by the technique of pausing the frame when a new character was introduced to tell you how they died.
To me, the Irishman is about an old man who has become desensitised to death (after committing war crimes and a long career as a hitman), where Goodfellas and, to a lesser degree, Casino, were glorifications of "the good old days".
If the cast didn't include DeNiro and Pesci, do you think you'd still feel The Irishman was more of the same? Sure, it may share a culture and time period with some of Scorsese's previous films, but to me that's where the similarities end. Are all westerns parodies of each other because they take place around the same time in similar settings?

Apologies in advance for the thread cráp, but you have great taste in pet names. This is my Alfred. Different species, but he wears a tuxedo all day, so figured it was apt.

Seems like they borrowed heavily from the plot of Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai for this episode.
