Scorsese needs to get to work on the Raging Bull sequel by CarmillaVonDoom	Aug 8th, 2008 12:49:59 AM
I kid, I kid
Scorsese will never be as good as Coppola by Prossor	Aug 8th, 2008 01:57:16 AM
He can keep directing like an asian kid makes clothes in sweatshops but his zillion of movies wil never reach the heights of Godfather 1 and 2, Apocalypse Now, The Conversation.

Scorsese hasn't made a "Jack" either.
uh... what's with the spanish? by brain drill	Aug 8th, 2008 02:11:48 AM

Those are great films, but Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas are their equal.
i agree Scorsese is still trying by Prossor	Aug 8th, 2008 04:13:59 AM
hard, and i agree he's made the better movies recently over Coppola's last ones, but his best were never as artistically ambitious as Coppola's best.
Other TV shows have aired since Amazing Stories, Herc. by tonagan	Aug 8th, 2008 04:36:09 AM
Off the top of my head, I can list about twenty. C'mon,do your research.
Scorsese should direct porn. by mrfan	Aug 8th, 2008 04:52:44 AM
Hell, all those big directors should do it at least once.
I love his episode of Amazing Stories... by DanielKurland	Aug 8th, 2008 06:22:02 AM
It's been a while since I've seen it, but does it not conclude with a monster, OUT OF NOWHERE, just running out of Waterson's mirror, and then bursting into flames as it runs through the window and off his balcony? And that's the ending.

Youth Without Youth.
If Scorsese can do Amex ads in America... by ciroslive	Aug 8th, 2008 07:06:29 AM
Then other famous directors/actors can do ads. As long as the ads are well made, who cares if they do commercials?
BAH! by VictorVonDoom	Aug 8th, 2008 07:30:00 AM
Scorese + a Sopranos writer = DOOM watching. Plus, DOOM is grateful to Sam Waterston for tipping DOOM off to the fact that robots eat old peoples' pills for fuel!
Um, the great Martin Scorsese HAS directed televison since... by EriamJH	Aug 8th, 2008 08:24:13 AM
Or do you count documentaries?? Episode of documentary series "The Blues" in 2003, coshared directorial duties for "Lady by the Sea: Statue of Liberty" in 2004, "My voyage to Italy" in 2002, "The Concert for NYC" segment in 2001... and of course the music video "Bad" for Michael Jackson in 1987. (Of course, I'd rather see his feature films and detailed life of the mob. Can't go a month without Goodfellas playing. And The Departed and Gangs are doing well on multiple viewings.)
Maybe Coppolla will show up with a poisoned cannoli by Stuntcock Mike	Aug 8th, 2008 08:37:16 AM

"Gangbangs of New York" would also work.
Damn! I was hoping by skimn	Aug 8th, 2008 09:36:48 AM
he would direct an ep of Mad Men. What a match that would be! Of course, it would open with a 5 minute tracking shot of Don leaving his car and going through the building to get to his office.
Mirror, Mirror was one of the best Amazing Stories eps by Nasty In The Pasty	Aug 8th, 2008 09:43:01 AM
The ending was kind of silly, but overall, it was pretty creepy and beautifully shot. Great Michael Kamen score, as well.
An HBO show about New Jersey's criminal element?! by StanGrossman	Aug 8th, 2008 12:10:08 PM
That's the most original idea for a series since that new Fox show about FBI agents investigating the paranormal.
Will it have a bit part by skimn	Aug 8th, 2008 12:53:00 PM
for Larry David? Scorsese can direct him for real!
Scorsese Owns Coppola by nyj_et	Aug 8th, 2008 01:13:37 PM
...and he had a cameo in "Cannonball!"
So it's about Jews. by EvilWizardGlick	Aug 8th, 2008 03:30:38 PM
Everyone knows that the early mob was primarily Jewish. Somehow we got sidetracked into only Italian mob.
Skimn... by DanielKurland	Aug 8th, 2008 03:36:13 PM
I would absolutely love to see that opening.
That was out of nowhere, Prossor... by viola123	Aug 8th, 2008 03:51:35 PM
I mean really. A story about Martin Scorsese and instead of commenting on it, the first thing is a comparison to Coppola? And the tone too. Where did that come from? Seriously. Look at that first comment. It's filled with such bitterness. Anger even. ... Anyway, right on, Marty. I'll be watching it.
Godfather licks Goodfellas asshole. by GOB	Aug 9th, 2008 01:14:03 AM
And then asks if it can squeeze its nutsack.
