Some oddity that Blue Oyster Cult's record company wouldn't let them tour arenas under a certain size, so they instead pretended to be that to play local beer money shows. Only a year or 2 before , saw them on a joint bill at MSG with Dio/Black Sabbath. Think the record company knew and it was all BS, but a great show both times. I remember that well. Iron maiden did a similar stunt when they played lamours under something like charlotte the harlotte 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A complete psychotic Jet fan and NFL in general. Actually enjoys watching games all day on Sunday with me.

Meryl Streep is great in it and I wanted to bang Emily Blunt. I'll add a Charles Bronson classic: Death Wish. This is my favorite post because the guy tried to blame "his wife" for his first choice being Devil Wears Prada, and then he still didn't feel manly enough, so he threw Death Wish out there.

JetPotato Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Ed Burns always did a great job capturing the NY vibe of that time... Brothers McMullen, She's the One, Sidewalks of New York. Spike Lee too, of course. Summer of Sam is very underrated. Do the Right Thing. Taxi Driver, of course. American Psycho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Bee Gees songs on the soundtrack are really good stuff. Oddly the Bee Gees wrote the music on spec without seeing any of the movie. The producers geave them some ideas about the plot, and they came up with the rest. Their songs hold up way better than a lot of music of any style from that time. The movie grows on me only as a piece of complete fiction. There were some very dumb cuigines back them, but from the movies you would think Brooklyn was a gorilla convention. Simply not the case . There was a lot more crossover than you might think.Sometimes Italian guys would go to rock concerts and Irish guys would go to dance clubs. "Staying Alive", the sequel, on the other hand, could be one of the worst money grab pieces of s__ ever made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Marine Parkway Bridge as the kinda opening sequence.... Scorcese shot some footage of "The Irishman" along the roadway leading to the Silver Gull with old cars. Not clear to me watching it if any of it was actually used. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
