Since when did DeNiro become a byword for unwatchable movies?

[4Corners]

De Niro was the man from 1973-1995 or so. I mean really in three different decades he dropped many great films. But he's forgotten that being choosy is when he was at his best. He was still doing alright stuff in the late 90's/early 00's briefly. But he really hasn't done anything good in awhile besides Silver Linings Playbook. My girlfriend dragged me to The Intern, but it wasn't really that bad. I thought De Niro was enjoyable in that one.

He just needs to be more choosy. But he's a legend, and one of the GOAT's. So I guess after nearly three decades putting up an incredible resume, I guess he's earned the right to do whatever the hell he wants???

But it's like Roy Jones. No matter how horrendous he looks now days in any BS fights, it doesn't take away from what he was. De Niro still did those things, he still did some incredible movies. And nothing will change that.

De Niro is the man. Obviously when you've been producing classics for the last 40 years not everything's going to be a HR but for a 70 year old he still in good roles who else his age is doing better. If you break his career into 3 parts every part is filled with sick movies

1975-1987

Mean streets
godfather
Taxi Driver
Deer hunter
Raging Bull

1988-2000
The untouchables
Goodfellas
Backdraft
Cape Fear
A Bronx tale
This Boys Life
Casino
Heat
The fan
Marvins room
Jackie Brown
Ronin

2001-2015
Men of Honour
Meet the Parents
The Score
Machete
Limitless
Silver Linings
American Hustle
Joy ??????
Hands of Stone ?????? Definit want to watch it

Top to bottom throughout his Career DeNiro has been putting in his work. Hes built up enough goodwill with not to sh.it on him if he wants to make a dud or make a crap film that's only about the $

Did you like The Intern?

[-Kev-]

In the late 90s he got more into comedy genre films and that's when he started making those non-De Niro like movies. Pacino, who is like 1 and 2 with De Niro in my list, did have a better late 90s than De Niro but he too fell off in the 2000s. Donnie Brasco, The Insider, The Devil's Advocate, Insomia and Any Given Sunday lead Pacino to finish the 90s decade on a good note. Those are my two favorite actors right there for what they did from the 70s through the 90s. And Heat is still a movie I like watching here and there. GlenGarry Glen Ross never gets old, Scarecrow, Serpico, Scent of a Woman, Donnie Brasco, Insomnia ooohhh. Man when De Niro is mentioned I gotta start talking about Pacino too

But yeah, I agree. I haven't sat down and watched a De Niro movie on my own, not someone putting it on and I just happen to be there looking at it, since City by the Sea.

I do like De Niro a lot, though I guess a criticism could be that he's not quite the chameleon that, say, Rod Steiger is.

This is from a recent interview:

"I used to worry about doing take after take," he says. "Now I don't worry about it so much. You can get it in the first take, more often than not. If there's some aspect of the character that you're really trying to get?" He shrugs. "Then maybe have two."

I'm sure he also said somewhere "I just make as many movies as I can these days, because **** it, I'll be dead soon, yer ****" but I can't find that quote.

Since ****-yze that.

[The Noose]

Id rather watch a Roy Jones fight than a De Niro film these days.
I honestly wish he had died a long long time ago.

That's a bit harsh.

He has one last GOAT level performance left in him when Scorcese finally makes The Irishman with him, Pacino, and Pesci.

Am I being "Britted" by the Beta Jew? Who said anything about British movies?

Just so it can sink into that Jew's head of yours, look and see if you can spot the difference:


LIST A:
Taxi Driver
The Godfather Part II
The Deer Hunter
King of Comedy
Raging Bull


LIST B:
Godsend
Analyze That
Meet The Fockers
Dirty Grandpa
The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle


Can you spot the difference?

better to be "Britta'd" than "Britted"

He's still better than will smith. I burst out laughing whenever I see the commercials for his new film where he plays a South African doctor.

Nigerian doctor, Bennett Omalu is Nigerian

He's has a couple of good performances in the last decade but even those were in otherwise terrible films.

Literally the only good thing to say about De Niro's recent career is at least he's not in one of those sad adverts parodying his old roles, like you see Harvey Keitel, Ray Winstone, Arnie etc. doing. But at this rate any day now he'll be popping up in a shitty car insurance ad, driving a yellow taxi while winking at the camera and asking a meerkat 'you talkin to me?'

Intern was decent Joy was unwatchable I have to say Jennifer Lawrence is the most over rated actress right now I don't know how she keeps getting roles

jennifer lawrence gives a mean *******, so i hear. there was even some video of it but her lawyers put a stop to that. kristen stewart doesn't really act much either, but both herb and J-Law are sure nice to look at. i watched On The Road a couple nights ago was pleasantly suprised that stewart showed her itty bitty little *******. i had a :wank:
