Quote from: cecil b. dementedno an animal. i used "duck" in my insult. so according to the rules, you cant use the montreal insult. sigh. am i the only one with an education here?

No, everyone knows about the animal / montreal provision. A lesser known rule is that anyone who is known to have used a muppets avatar must enthusiasticly take as many insults as the offended party deems necessary.

gentlemen, gentlemen, please. look at whats become of us. a simple thread about the best scorsese film has turned us against each other. this is supposed to be a place where ducks, sauce, duck sauce and montrealers can all run free to bitch about films. we all came here seeking refuge from the ignorant average movie-goers, and instead were turning against each other. LOOK AT WHAT WEVE BECOME!!

Eh...I hate to say it...but Casino.  Casino is more of an enjoyable thing than goodfellas in style...goodfellas had the better story...but I judge movies on how many times i can watch them without losing anything...so casino.  Too embarassed to even vote on it...i voted for goodfellas.

Oh, it's getting interesting now. A tight fight between Goodfellas and Taxi Driver. I wonder which'll win.

Hopefully Scorsese and De Niro make some more movies soon. Is there some sort of rift going on between them?

no.

Raging Bull, Cape Fear, Goodfellas...but RB I prefer because of the (relative) size of the story.

Against that list, Gangs of NY looks weak.

Amen. I can only imagine what Mr. Scorsese would think if he read this thread.

Scorsese Receives Hasty Pudding Award


While wearing a bra made of playing cards, director Martin Scorsese clutches his pudding pot as he his honored as Man of the Year by the Hasty Pudding Theatricals at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass., Thursday Feb. 13, 2003.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Director Martin Scorsese was given a grammar lesson - and made to wear a curly blonde wig and red-sequined bra - on Friday when he was crowned Harvard's Hasty Pudding Man of the Year.

Scorsese received the honor at the opening night of "It's a Wonderful Afterlife," a production of the Hasty Pudding Theatricals, an undergraduate dramatic troupe.

"I kind of had inside information that I was going to get the prize tonight so I went along with everything," he said.

Scorsese stood on the stage with a blackboard with the words "You talking to me?" written on it, in reference to Robert DeNiro's famous line from the Scorsese-directed movie "Taxi Driver."

A Harvard student dressed as a staid schoolmarm made Scorsese repeat the grammatically correct phrase "To whom are you speaking?"

The city of Cambridge declared Thursday "Martin Scorsese Day" and two representatives of the mayor's office presented him a gold key to the city.

Scorsese's movies include "Taxi Driver," "New York, New York," "The Color of Money," "Cape Fear," "The Age of Innocence" and "Casino." His 1990 film, "GoodFellas," received six Academy Award nominations.

Scorsese has also received best director Oscar nominations for "Raging Bull" and "The Last Temptation of Christ."

The film "Gangs of New York," a social and political drama set in 19th-century New York, recently earned the director a Golden Globe and was nominated for 10 Oscars, including best director.

The Directors Guild of America is scheduled to honor Scorsese with its lifetime achievement award on March 1.

Actress Angelica Huston was crowned the Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year last week.

Now there's a real holiday for schools and businesses to impose.  Instead we get Martin Luther King day.  What's he ever done?  Pssshh...
