“I think in all fairness, I should explain to you exactly what it is that I do. For instance tomorrow morning I'll get up nice and early, take a walk down over to the bank and... walk in and see and, uh... if you don't have my money for me, I'll... crack your fuckin' head wide-open in front of everybody in the bank. And just about the time that I'm comin' out of jail, hopefully, you'll be coming out of your coma. And guess what? I'll split your fuckin' head open again. 'Cause I'm fuckin' stupid. I don't give a fuck about jail. That's my business. That's what I do.“

I feel like I listened to all the good jazz, pop, blues, rock, classical for three hours straight

Scorses-a-thon Obviously a sister film to Goodfellas, but I feel perhaps even better at least on a visual standpoint. I think there’s something of Age of Innocence in this. Ace is softer than a lot of other Scorsese protagonists, and there is a tragedy to his and Gingers’ relationship that feels really mutual. Not one-sided male aggression but two doomed individuals.  Just like Goodfellas, it’s just a great story completely entertaining from start to finish, and I really liked this look into classic Las Vegas. A world I wish I could see but is long gone now and only lives on in movies like this or Ocean’s Eleven.
