ABW/Reel Talk Movie Club: Poltergeist (1982)

So are there questions that we all need to answer to formulate an organized discussion or will it be kind of a free writing activity?
 
Pesci stole every scene he was in.

The scene when he fucks up Salvy is my favorite in the whole film.

He totally played him:

One min, he was forgiving and humble, ready to bury the hatchet.......

.......next moment, he's burying a glass on the side of his face.
 
I forgot all them niggas was nasty creeping on vicki when she was 15

:cry3:


Anyway this and goodfellas are Scorsese's best movies. Also this and taxi driver are de niros best performances to me. Dont @ me about it I said what i said.

My favorite thing about this movie is that it doesn't explain away la mottas behavior. He wasnt an alcoholic, he and his brother didn't come from a fucked up home, nothing crazy happened to him when he was young. He was just hard headed af and it became self sabotaging. Everyone can relate to that.

I did a little research on Jake after the movie. Apparently, he did see his Father beat his Mother, not to mention as a kid he was a MONSTER (he used to go after bullies with an Icepick and he beat a Bookie unconscious to rob him). He also stated that he hated watching the movie I initially until he realized that it was about him and how he lived.

As you said yourself, dude was the worst of 'em all, y'all.......
