Yea, I’m
About an hour in. Will have to watch in pieces
Didn’t realize Harvey Keitel was in this too. Scorcese really brought out the all star team lineup. [Reply]

Seeing 70 year old guys trying to play and sing their greatest hits isn't always so great
Bruce Springsteen did a show last week at the Stone Pony and one of buddys who was there commented on how we are all old and can't outrun Father Time no matter how hard we try. [Reply]

That would still have been great to see though. [Reply]
I went ahead and started watching it the other night - got nearly halfway through.
I'm not sure if I'll finish it or not. Just feels like been there, done that, with better material, more than once. I mean, how many retreads of the Scorcese/DeNiro/Pesci Lowlife Greaseball Show do we need? After a while it's just like another Jason Bourne movie, with big meals instead of car chases. [Reply]

It’s definitely slower paced than those other gangster films, but it’s still really, really good.
Ultimately it’s pretty sad. The last half hour or so is about aging and dying alone. [Reply]
