I thought Martin Scorsese did a great job with Casino, Goodfellas, and other things. I do continually question why Italians [specifically, Calabrians] are presented so often as organized criminals in Hollywood movies. Not that it's completely wrong. I do get annoyed when scummy Jews play the name-change game [porn directors and stars like Anthony Spinelli = Samuel Weinstein, Richard Pacheco = Howie Gordon, and Ron Jeremy Hyatt, who dropped the Hyatt (among others), and some in Hollywood, like Jonah Hill Feldstein, who dropped the Feldstein].
Simply dropping the last name to sound more Goyish is one thing, but Jews making themselves Italian personally offends me. As if Italians haven't done enough of the things we are blamed of to have Jewish filth topping it off.
As for why I talk about this so much - in addition to finding the above offensive, I refuse to allow Jews to be sacrosanct and their crimes to be verboten, because that's bullshit. Why the fuck should I have had to learn so much of this stuff on the internet in comments' sections?

Comments sections which are, I should point out, increasingly disappearing.
And that's what's happening to cinema too. Things like big screen TV's with super HD, and probably even VR headsets where you can apparently sit in an actual theatre and watch a movie are big competition for movie theatres.
Back to Scorsese and my previous point, he had Leonardo DiCaprio play Jewish conman Jordan Belfort in "The Wolf of Wall Street". Like, could he have picked a less Jewish actor to play that financial swindler?

On top of that, that movie was just a piece of shit. Grotesque movie, which made ripping people off and running financial scams "sexy".
I won't watch a new Martin Scorsese movie ever again because of that shit movie.
