Nice! I only have the DVD you held up but would be down for a solid restoration. What's the Frequency, Kenneth might be one of my favorite needle drops in a Scorsese movie, and I'm not even an REM fan.
I am not an REM fan either, and I did like how that song was used. I also love Red, Red Wine - wow, hard to forget in the film's best scene I feel with the impalement of the drug dealer.
@@JerrySaraviaCinema1895 Scorsese is the master of that move (or used to be). "Layla" in Goodfellas for example.
We’re pretending we like child acting now?
Yes take historical facts out for a ride . Oliver Stone the original conspiracy theorist
I HATE THAT MF OLIVER STONE! BUT NIXON IS A GREAT FILM
Good breakdown Jerry. I thought this was awful. And I was a fan of all DGG's Halloween pics, so I really wanted to love this. The few brief nuggets that worked just reminded me how great the original was. What they did to Burstyn's character should be criminal.
The original will always stand tall against any sequel or demonic possession movie. Friedkin just made it too damn good the first time around. Thanks for commenting.
@@JerrySaraviaCinema1895 Definitely. I'm with you on the rankings as well. It's basically the original....a big gap....then #3. The rest are worthless. The funny thing is the reason #3 mostly works is it's basically a police procedural/serial killer story. Exorcist lore is almost irrelevant to it.
Pax The Goddess of Peace
Hollywood and their ilk are so outspokenly anti-gun, but the gratuitous gun violence in all their movies/video games is non-stop over the top, total hypocrisy!
What are your thoughts on Scorsese's New York, New York (1977)
It was one I will revisit soon. I never really cared for it but I will check it out again soon.
Stuff you 😂😂😂😂😂
Stuff you! Stuff you! You know who you're messing with, huh? You filthy maggot! Do you know who you're messing with?
Very what humans can do to each other! And those evil guys always think they're right and their vision for a better world is great! It's incredible how easy the populaces can be desive and forced to do horrible thing's! History is full of dictatorship doing evil things and we should never forget it to never happen again! Rip forever all people who die in holocaust and ww2 and of course all others wars and genocides! Anyway keep up with great content 💯👍🏻🔥💥🦾‼️
stupid video
These people will keep on complaining and blaming everything and everyone on their own shitty lifes..wait and see theyll be onto somthing next to give out about..
exactly
There's another funny one later in the movie when the cops shoot Blue. When the cops are talking after the killing the one cop sounds like they got Mr. Potato Head from Toy Story to dub that line😅😅😅😅
Are you talking about this part: Cop: #1: "You lousy moron, I'll be filling out paperwork for the next two months because of you and this piece of filth! Cop #2: "I'm sorry. What are we gonna do?"
Yeah it sounds like Mr. Potato Head from Toy Story and Mack from Cars Also when the cowboy says "stuff you" the 1st time it sounds like Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc) from Friends
I say that about friends because probably while the TV edit of this movie was being produced it was probably made around the time Joey lost his job on Days of our Lives in the show and he was desperate. Hence the reason why I commented earlier saying "I don't remember this episode of Friends"
0:26 i dont remember joey from friends agreeing to this
Still no
No. Mr Plinkett says so
Plinkett is a lair and industry plant who shilled for Disney garbage when it came out. Plinkett sucks. Russia > Plinkett. PT > OT. Read Dune.
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.
No, it will always will be a disappointing film(s). What it does have going for it is that it was at least made by one person who wasn't beholden to a corporate board room. Compared to the sequels which are a corporate mess, the prequels are at least made by someone who cared about them and tried to tell a story. Lucas may have failed to execute his artistic vision, but at least he tried to make art. Audiences want a return to artists telling stories (which the prequels are), not more corporate products designed to meet engagement metrics (which the sequels are). And this is what people are responding to regarding the prequels - those movies are bad, but only in the way that art is bad when made by an artist who at least tried. We all respect Lucas for trying even if the end product didn't live up to expectations. We'd rather see 5 failed films made by people who at least tried rather than 1 more corpo Disney / Marvel "entertainment product".
Yes. It has stood the test of time. I recently watched the movie for the first time on the big screen at theatres, for the 25th anniversary. Some of the strengths which stood out to me: - CGI effects aren't _that_ bad - due to the fact that CGI was still in its relative infancy at the time, filmmakers had to do more with less (they had to actually work hard). I thought they did a clever job at weaving the CG into the special effects and set pieces. The CG is fitting, like it naturally belongs in the world and doesn't look out of place - The pod racing scene is an incredibly shot and choreographed sequence with genuine tension and emotion - John Williams score - I do not speak merely of the famous Duel of the Fates theme but the general background music which complements both dramatic and casual scenes - Furthermore, this movie generally has some of the most incredible sound design/effects, sound editing & mixing I've ever heard - Atmosphere - I felt like I was IN the Star Wars universe. It may be a lesser Star Wars film, but it still _feels_ like a Star Wars film, unlike the Disney sequels which didn't have that same...magic - Liam Neeson is one of my favourite casting choices of all time. I consider Qui-Gon Jinn to be the 'perfect' depiction of everything a Jedi should be in terms of appearance, temperment, charm, mannerisms, style, etc. - The politics of Star Wars - unlike many others, this was a subplot I actually enjoyed not just about The Phantom Menace but the prequels as a whole. The political undertone serves an adequate purpose in terms of being the foundation of the sinister element surrounding the mystery of the sith, which the next 2 movies would build upon and utilise in terms of transitioning the status quo from Jedi rule to Sith takeover Thanks for reading. If you haven't already, I highly recommend the 'making of' documentary of The Phantom Menace. The amount of craftsmanship and attention to detail the filmmakers put into this project is absolutely staggering. George Lucas clearly poured his heart and soul into it. I feel it deserves at least some appreciation.
The problem is that the annoying, always complaining portion of the Star Wars fandom only seems to know about one thing: Star Wars. When you listen to them "reasoning" it appears like they have never watched anything else. So when a new SW movie or series comes out, that has something in it, that wasn't previously mentioned in an older SW thing, they absolutely lose it and start hyperventilating.
Of course the expectations could have been met in general. This movie was so boring I fell asleep the second time I saw it in the theater. Total failure.
No
Still not a good movie, and never will be thanks to its well documented flaws, but at least it was true to the creator's vision and felt like a lived in universe, unlike the modern tick-box approach, directed by committee, survive a lightsaber impalement bullcrap.
I was a kid when they all came out, saw em all in the theatres. No complaints really. As a kid all you focus on is the flashy stuff so growing up it was nice to actually follow a consistent story line unlike the Disney saga, Very different feels, Even though I was older once those ones had come out. The point is (1 + 2 + 3) I still can watch and get something new from most times. Can't say the same for (7, 8, 9). take with that what you will.
This isn't even mentioning the hype in the schoolyards with how good the Pod-Racing and end Duel was. If this doesn't excite you, I don't know how to tell you this but I think you don't like the "world" of Star Wars
Compared to the dreadful new trilogy its a masterpiece....its still utterly gash though, bar the end lightsaber fight.
compared to the original trilogy, the prequels are bad... compared to Disney Star Wars, the prequels are excellent.
I love the prequels and KOTOR because the galaxy’s mostly at peace.. hopefully they bring this vibe back in the post-sequel trilogy
No
Nope.
No
It is not better than it was 25 years ago. But that doesn’t mean it’s a bad movie. It was good then. It’s still good now
Even the original trilogy was flawed, and often overrated, as film in an absolute sense - but Star Wars was also bigger, and better, simply as a mythological concept, than it could ever be realized on the screen. Empire did the best in fulfilling the franchise's potential, while Jedi became more childish than childlike in its approach, a problem that would plague the series as it continued. The Phantom Menace was simply a bad movie, although I agree the films are more enjoyable overall in a climate of reduced expectations that are modest at best. Star Wars is not the be all and end all of film, fiction or mythology. Anyone who had their childhood "assaulted" by a bad Star Wars film is taking Star Wars far too seriously.
@@greglbennett - The prequels and sequels were worse, but that didn't make the original films classics.
@@Malt454 No .. The originals were classics because they were great movies. You can pretend they're 'overrated', but I'd say you're full of it. I bet you thought that new Dune movie was a work of genius comparable to a Kubrick movie or something. 😂 They're flawed, but they're not overrated.
@@Fiveash-Art- Oh, you're one of these "I bet..." people who think they can read people's minds. Lol. I'd say you're full of it right there. The new Dune movies are alright, but they're not much of an adaptation of the novel. The original Star Wars movies are vastly overrated by people in general. The IMDb list places Chapters 5 and 4 as the 15th and 30th best movies ever made, respectively - which, like the list itself, is a joke. Even Jedi is rated 95th, still well ahead of Lawrence of Arabia at 100 and A Clockwork Orange at 112.
@@Malt454 And you're one of these "Anything that's popular is overrated" people who need to find ways to superficially set themselves apart, pretending their opinions are original and outside the box. Lol. But yeah whatever, .. Keep reading your lists, because I don't care about lists. The original trilogy is still not overrated I don't care about IMDB. Dune was terrible and it wasn't just because it was a bad adaptation. Villeneuve is a fraud who makes sterile boring movies.
@@Fiveash-Art- I'm just talking about how actual people actually rate these films, which is something that you don't do - you just "don't care" about ratings while saying they aren't overrated. It isn't much of an argument, because it's based on nothing.
No. Existence of worse movies doesn't make it a good movie.
PT was never bad. Russia loved these films.
@@MrRobot2027-wd9iw Yea... that last sentence robbed your claim of any legitimacy just like russia robs other countries of their territories.
Was Dolly an early Harley Quinn? Discuss.
Never thought of her that way but I do see it somewhat.
Брюс, всегда рад тебя видеть в кругу семьи, друзей!!!!!!!!!
Footnote: One of the reasons I like your film criticism has absolutely NOTHING to do with whether I agree with you on a movie, but EVERYTHING to do with the fact I know you have a pretty deep understanding of film history and context.
Thanks for saying that. We have been commenting back and forth for many years and, any insights you bring are just as strong based on all the films you have seen.
Classic inquiry into film and arts, right? I guess I can recognize the skill, talent and creativity that goes into quality Jazz for example. But I don't listen to it and musically I don't like the sound. Inversely I might find myself singing along to a Katy Perry pop song (haha). Fine, whatever. BUT if I was tasked with critiquing them it would be of no value to dismiss the former, while championing the later. What would be the point. To my sensibilities good movie criticism has to have enough awareness of the medium to be able to identify what the objectives are and then whether it succeeds on those terms. There is some level of objectivity with that. For me the worst films, in a critical sense, have a clear objective then fail utterly at it. Just my two cents anyway.
And yet I would prefer a film where the ambition is clear and failed, to a film with no ambition but which succeeded in it's limited aims.
@@ablacknambercat That's fair. There's nuance in all these terms, right? For me "ambition" would translate into passion and sense of quality. A good example for me would be something like Sam Raimi's early Evil Dead films. Ultra-low budget b-movie horror. But Raimi and Campbell were obviously passionate and inspired - as a result they deliver an undeniable classic of the genre. A good critic should be able to recognize that and make the case that they might be more important films than many Oscar winners.
Actually 1st & 2nd Jeepers Creepers movies were very entertaining but they waited way tooo long for the 3rd part(wasted opportunity) but when it was finally made after so many years it was less than mediocre low budget C-grade garbage.
I like the first one, the second one not so much other than the ending. JP4 is easily one of the worst movies of all time
Nixon's excuse is that he was in Dallas "on business" during ths JFK assassination, but then again, if you have friends and connections in business, you can arrange that sort of thing, if you really just want to be in Dallas to enjoy the festivities. Nixon "forgot" being in Dallas, and changed his story a number of times. I'm 72, and still remember vividly where I was in 6th grade class, when JFK was assassinated.
Cool
He should have played HOFFA instead.
Beautiful tribute to a beautiful and talented actress. Her life was snuffed out too soon. The man she chose to protect her, destroyed her. She will be remembered.

are very beautiful❤❤❤
1:57-2:00 This is an alternate shot not used in the original movie, however, I love the fact it's still noticeable that Tony is saying, "Fuck you." Even though he's facing away from us he's still facing upwards, it's somewhat noticeable that you can still read his lip movements from that POV. I also don't get why they didn't use more alternate footage like the ones shown in the TV spots like Andy saying "he's a loose cannon." In the TV version of that scene when Andy says "He's out of his fuckin' mind," they just replaced the f-bomb with "stupid" which hilariously sounds like broken English.
Must be the most famous mixed race couples ever
I love this movie but this scene is retarded. JFK was killed by Zio Jews for opposing the Dimona Project and requiring AZC (nka AIPAC) to register with FARA
They need to do a video where Scorsese, DeNiro & Pesci react to this! I can only imagine how hilarious it would be 😂😂😂😂
Scorsese did probably make this, about half of the f-bombs are all edited out without dubbing. I actually want to know if he was involved in this, it sounds like everyone else was in this but Pesci and De Niro. The impersonators also do an ok job in some parts but mostly botch up the movie. Scorsese made the TV version of Goodfellas which has the same TV edits (like some offscreen dubbing and choppily edited lines), though he got De Niro and Pesci to redub themselves.
Where did you get that Supermen t-shirt? It looks great!
Actually bought it through Amazon.
@@JerrySaraviaCinema1895 Thanks, I will have a look for it 👍🏻
You mean like in Trainspotting, or like Alex in A Clockwork Orange, or like Roy's unnatural obsession in Close Encounters, or like Griffin Mill et al in The Player when the entire studio system crushes and eats up the good people, but the evil people like Griffin turn the happy ending on its head and have a "happy" ending of their own?
No. Anything you love doing and are dedicated to is beneficial. Movies have nothing in common with drugs or alcohol. Films give you insights and emotional experiences, artistic enjoyment, and knowledge. I've watched 1'000's of films from all over the world, and I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything. Watching those films hasn't taken anything away from the rest of my life. I work, cook good food, read books, paint pictures, make films myself, and have a lot of non-film experiences also. The only way it would be unhealthy is if that's all you did, or only watched stupid films.
Right, but the same could be said for having a glass of wine with dinner or having a beer at a baseball game. The key is moderation. And the culture of cinema right now is not moderation....it's people losing their minds over Star Wars, Marvel, Zach Snyder, etc.
@@timdaugherty7612 I'm not referring to those kind of films. My references are the great films of the silent era, German Expressionism, Poetic Realism of 1930's France, Japanese New Wave, French New Wave, Satyajit Ray's Indian films, Fellini, Cassavetes, Tarkovsky, and others. And even the junk films will never cause you to overdose or get cirrhosis of the liver, just a junky mind. Garbage in, garbage out. It's a matter of expanding your mind and the will to push boundaries.
@@littleghostfilms3012 Understood. I think there is nuance, and of course semantics. But I do see some parallels between over-zealous film culture lately and other forms of addiction. Which I understood to be the main point of Jerry's video. Ie, not directing this response to you or your movie watching habits, but the toxic culture of endless film deconstruction online.
