Scorsese! Just mentioned above. So, last night I finished The Irishman, with diNiro, Pacino, and Pesci, among others. Way too long. (3 1/2 hours). Based on a book that conjectures how Hoffa disappeared.
Most interesting thing about it for me was a discussion afterwards, where it was revealed that CGI was what rendered the younger versions of the actors as they did flashbacks.

I’ve been watching the Rockford Files on Amazon Prime lately.
We didn't get much tube time, but on Thanksgiving it was some of the Macy's Christmas Parade with the balloons on short tethers because of high winds, and the Philly dog show, which we always love to watch, though we only saw a sampling. We're big suckers for the many and various collie type dogs, though our real favorites are farm collies with a gracious mix of parentage.
I have watched The Irishman too now. I thought it was good, and well worth watching, but I agree it was a bit too long. I thought Pacino's performance as Hoffa was very good.
As to the accuracy of it, I heard an in depth interview with the author of the book it was based on years ago. He made a compelling case, but there are also reasons for doubt. He had been a prosecutor in Delaware and later a defense attorney and became friends with Sheeran.
Half way through the 3.5 hour The Irishman on Netflix.
Had to stop for ice cream. Where's my Novolog...

Rewatching parts of The Irishman. Some of it was filmed near where I lived in Orange Co., NY.
Halfway thru The Irishman. At home, it works, in a theater, I'd have been climbing a wall.
So far, best movie of 2019, for me.

Watched Clemson take care of business yesterday, Friday watched Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood. Masterpiece film by Tarantino.
Yeah it's a pretty good documentary but then I'm biased as Schumacher is my favorite F1 driver, closely followed by the late great Ayrton Senna.
The doc they did on him: Senna is really good but I'm guessing you've probably already seen it?
It was such a shame he died when he did as not only did we lose a ledgend but also the world was robbed of seeing Senna & Schumacher go at it for the world title, such a shame.

Just watched The Irishman and really enjoyed it. I've got the book it was based on but I haven't read it yet.
Afterwards I watched a recent interview with De Niro & Pacino sitting down together and discussing their careers which was awesome and well worth a look if you're a fan of either/both of them. The only problem I had was it was way too short and I could honestly have listened to them for a couple of hours easy.
