  I keep hearing about the de-aging technology used in The Irishman, but I've seen it a few times, and as best I could tell it just consisted of DeNiro dying his hair black and being called "kid" when he was supposed to be young.

  Personally interesting.... I'm an Irish American with roots in Philly, and my grandfather and his cousin were linked to the Philly building trades unions (roofers, bricklayers).  One of the Irish labor union bosses was my grandfather's union boss, and that guy was a character in that movie The Irishman.  I met that union boss at my grandfather's funeral, and he pushed me away and snarled, "You ain't half the MAN your grandfather was..."  I was 13 yrs old.

  The Hoffa hit was all Detroit. Back then, Detroit was the second most powerful Mafia family outside of New York, arguably the 4th or 5th most powerful family overall. Nobody was going to tell them what to do. They handled the hit themselves and made sure the body was never found.

  In the military in the early 70s there was this guy . he was retired and working as a civilian instructor  , I always remembered him because he was such a good guy,  he was from PA and  last name was Bufalino, This Movie came out   and I googled Russel Bufalino... This instructor  looked  enough like Russelll Bufalino to be his brother or something.

  I was living in Philly when Anglo was killed, in fact my friend his father owned a barbershop less than 10 feet away from where Angelo was assassinated, and I was in his house that night. He was assassinated.

  Best and most tense part of the entire movie. The sit down after he blew up the wash company. Where he says, you have a great friend and Russ, and he says I know. When he says back, no, you don’t know! That is the most realistic mafia dialogue I’ve ever heard.  Harvey Ketel really does not get enough credit for what he contributed to that movie.

  Yeah. Being late at a meeting is something I couldn’t tolerate because I was also told a lesson how bad being late. Especially as a lawyer. But in my 27 years as a lawyer, 80% at least of the people I met on appointments, they are always late. Once they are late, they lost my respect.

  I was friends with Frank's nephew, he believed he did in fact kill him. He was the last one to see Hoffa alive. Killing was nothing to Frank.He loved the service and had no qualms killing. Cold As Ice.

Snatch with Jason Statham, and the short series Taboo (he played Atticus with Tom Hardy. Puts his heart in everything ❤
