You said it yourself - people want to see one of the most beloved Italian American gangster actors get directed by one one most beloved Italian American gangster directors. And you are a fanboy over it.

Where exactly did I say that? Do not put words in my mouth and please do not refer to me as a fanboy as that's mental laziness on your part.

Speaking of fanboy, I'm well informed regarding Jack Kirby (Machine Man? Devil Dinosaur? Destroyer Duck?)...and Joe Simon...and Jack Cole, Will Eisner, Jim Steranko, Jim Starlin, Alan Moore, etc. Household names, huh? Extremely artistic and important works of 20th century science-fiction, eh? Give me a break. Ask the person in the cubicle next to yours who created Batman and enjoy the blank stare. Stan's almost a household name because he was a relentless publicity hound.

But now we're veering off-topic into other territory and, frankly, I'm bored arguing with Philistines. Good night and good luck.

Philistines

This gives the game away, although I'm sure you were joking.

Marty's common refrain has been "there is an emotional core to this movie - we had a meeting!"

Look, there is a business to high production films, and we have to accept that. Marty clearly has, has participated in it, and used his well earned artistic reputation to criticize it. Good stuff.
