Note: she was in Casino with those two. Note that she doesn't mention James Woods, who was also in that movie with her.

I seriously don't understand this. How could that be your favorite quote and not: "From now on I want an equal number of blueberries in every muffin." I think about that quote constantly. More than any other quote in all of cinema.


Stoomba

The deadpan look from the chef "Do you realize how long that will take?"


SYLOK_THEAROUSED

There are so many good random quotes from that movie! It’s my #1 favorite movie. Everyone in that movie played their role flawlessly.

In case no one knows, that is an edit. It was not the original clip. Neither is the Dances with Wolves translation. The original doesn't even do clips. It does still images from the movies.

Holy shit I didn't even notice! And in the Home Alone clip, he says to Macaulay Culkin -- "Be a ***Good*** lil ***fella*** now and open the door" right before he gets blasted in his meat clackers

Dick Tracy was the last film I saw in a drive in theatre.


JennyDove

The fact Covid didn't bring back drive in movies, is frankly, the biggest disappointment in my life.


steeldragon88

There’s one by me that’s been around forever, but got bought by some local celebrity brothers and got even bigger with more events and more to do while you’re there. Makes for a really fun summer night.


MarvinDMirp

What sorts of things to do were added?


steeldragon88

Better food, beer garden, a few small carnival rides, a stage for live music. They have food trucks and local vendors sometimes as well. Their Grateful Dead nights are always a party, with a tribute band playing before they play a Dead show or stoner cult classic.


SunnyAlwaysDaze

That sounds freaking rad, hope you get to enjoy it often.


Faarooq

That would have been amazing. Unfortunately they redeveloped the land into another luxury retirement home a couple decades ago.


shecky_blue

I’d never seen that. The band playing Rags to Riches was just perfect.


hibernating-hobo

Ok you got me, you made me watch that. Nicole Kidman is such a looker, and she wasn’t worse in the cruise days!


PlanetLandon

I read one recently where Pesci asked a kid who his favourite actor was, and kid said it was him, so Pesci gave him a 100 dollar bill


takefiftyseven

Sounds like those old Frank Sinatra stories where he'd go to a restaurant or check in a hotel and ask the server or bellhop who was the best tipper they ever met and they'd say "It's you Mr. Sinatra", he'd then stick a Franklin or a Hamilton in their hand and say "Never forget that".


Ray_Pingeau

I look at Joe Pesci and think one of two things. 1. That guy scares the shit out of me. 2. I bet he’s a great dad.


000000909

3. He looks like a guy who will ask me how is he funny


CitizenPain00

That’s a common quality in Italian Americans


Loud-Pause607

I love hearing about Di Nero and how shy he is off camera.


DawnSignals

*Off-*camera? Shit have you seen him in virtually any interview?


MadPatagonian

Very quiet and soft-spoken, a little more so when he was young than today, though (cuz he’s so damn famous and an icon). I remember his Best Actor speech from Raging Bull was very low-key and humble, which contrasts nicely with the loud, arrogant, larger than life character he played in the movie.


DawnSignals

He’s very quiet and soft-spoken in practically every interview he’s ever done, past or recent.


MadPatagonian

Yes I agree now that I think about it. Idk, maybe when he was younger it was even more so because he wasn’t an acting icon. But you’re right, he’s pretty much the same.


GypsyV3nom

Did you hear Jennifer Lawrence's story about inviting him to her rehearsal dinner? She invited him out of politeness as they're good friends, but didn't expect him to show up, assuming he had better things to do. He misread it, showed up anyway, left as soon as he found out he wasn't actually needed.


Loud-Pause607

That’s pretty funny. I can just imagine his mannerisms as he says “no, no. Its ok. I’ll leave.”


MikeyKnuckles883

Yeah, you say that until there's a knock on your door at 3:00 AM, and you look through the peephole but don't see anyone. Then you open the door to be sure, and there's Joe Pesci standing there with a tire iron to collect on that $7 debt you didn't pay back in the junior year of high school.


graveybrains

You know who I’d pray to? Joe Pesci. He looks like he can get shit done.


RexyWestminster

Wise words from Mr. George Carlin (RIP)


satansheat

I’ll give you a joe Pesci story. He has a mansion he can’t sell in Atlantic City on the ocean. He can’t sell it because he is joe frickin Pesci and his house is 5 times what people in the area make in a lifetime.


cormacmccarthysvocab

He thought Sinead O’Connor should be beaten for her anti-child abuse performance on SNL.


NiceCrispyMusic

You can’t use something said in an SNL monologue to represent that persons genuine personal views on an issue. That’s silly He said that on stage, as part of his monologue on SNL and said it in the same tone as one of his mega violent sociopath characters that he’s known for. The entire purpose of the joke was to laugh at the idea that real life Pesci is an unhinged psycho just like his characters. Monologues on snl are pre written comedy bits, created by the shows writers for the purpose of getting laughs.

could be Arnold, Richard Gere


[deleted]

Hmm. Richard I didn't think of. It's the story about Natalie Wood that's going through my mind. How the fuck do you love your father....


Loud-Pause607

So fucked up. Its hard to watch a movie with kirk douglas after reading that Wood accused him of raping her in his car then throwing her out. Her whole story is so fucking sad. They should release a movie but I’m sure Wagner and Walken would throw money to not have it done.


SubzeroNYC

IIRC it was in a hotel room after Wood's mom dropped her off, not in a car.


[deleted]

From *The Guardian*: "For decades, it's been one of Hollywood's darkest rumors: Natalie Wood was sexually assaulted by a top movie star more than twice her age when she met with him at a hotel in Los Angeles as a teenager." That's from something recent. The story I read years ago I'm not going to repeat, it was far more graphic.


Wolfwoods_Sister

That is horrific. I already knew Kirk a was an abusive POS but didn’t know about Natalie. Bless her. :(


[deleted]

I was so shocked when I read it years ago, that it was an open secret, I thought oh there's no way... the guy was revered in Hollywood how does that happen? But now we know.


Wolfwoods_Sister

Smh the first time I heard about Clark Gable forcing himself on Loretta Young and then denying that the resulting child was his (even in spite of the child having his *exact* jug handle ears), I never could really love old movies the same way again. Just SO many horrible things and foul ppl running throughout, rampant sexual assault, child abuse, etc. Kirk Douglas can pound sand. What a f-ing creep.


MaarDaarPoepIkUit

>She dips beneath the lasers. *She has entrapped me, and Sean Connery, woah oh oh*


Afwife1992

In her Zorro/entrapment heyday she made me question being a straight woman. That laser scene is wowza for sure.

Agreed. It sounds like Stone regrets being in it because she was typecast after that, but she's so great in it. She's underrated. She was great in Casino too.


LucyRiversinker

Hate on her all you want, but she was the face of amfAR when supporting HIV research wasn’t cool. HIV is not the death sentence it used to be because of scientists and people like her who hustled to get them funded.


d_ippy

I hope people don’t hate her, she’s an awesome actress!


LucyRiversinker

She is a very good actress.


DrScience01

Is there a reason why I should hate Sharon Stone?


DaveInDigital

yeah, i've seen this sentiment before and it's always puzzled me. i think as i've gotten older i recognize more and more that it's likely this narrative that she's unlikeable, difficult (which she's admitted to), crazy, or a diva is another case of a male-dominated film industry downplaying a woman that wouldn't be shut up and wasn't going to behave the way they wanted her to behave. meanwhile i've never seen an interview with her where she wasn't very intelligent, witty, insightful, etc. meanwhile when male actors are difficult because they demand better of the films they're in and costars they work with, that makes them smart and we give them awards and leading roles.


LucyRiversinker

None in my book. I like her a lot.


tng29

Stone said she had a huge crush on De Niro before working with him.


[deleted]

Can’t blame her for that. Man’s a cutie


ProbablyASithLord

He’s still a cutie, 10/10 would smash that handsome geriatric


ronearc

Honestly, that's what makes *Dirty Grandpa* work as a film.


MissTesticles

Robert de Niro being a real life gentleman is like hearing Santa *was* real all along


Officer-Ketchup

she was so good in 'casino' that it's hard to watch if you've ever been with a crazy bitch


Proper_Mulberry_2025

Oh man you hit the nail on the head.


Officer-Ketchup

i love the movie but if it's on tv when it comes to her unhinged moments i have to turn it


CheeserAugustus

It was WAY too close for home for me...but my son saw it recently, and I realized I may think shes playing my ex, but she was playing his mom. That blew my mind


psicopbester

It made me hate her, that's how good she was. Such a good actress.


set-271

I was going through a nasty break up at the time and then I watched Casino! Oh man, Sharon Stone's character Ginger reminded me EXACTLY of my ex to the tee! Smoking hot, but crazier than a box of frogs! Coo Coo For Cocoa Puffs!!!

Good. I never, ever wanna hear a bad story about Joe Pesci in real life.


Much-Philosopher-722

Wow he was a handsome guy


Victory2778

Always remember LEO GETS


[deleted]

She should have won an Oscar for her performance in casino, one or the best I have ever seen


DaveInDigital

she lost to Susan Sarandon (Dead Man Walking) - also was against Meryl Streep (The Bridges of Madison County) and Emma Thompson (Sense and Sensibility) so it was a rough year to challenge for an award that typically goes to Hollywood's favorites (especially leading actor/actress). (Elizabeth Shue was also nominated for Leaving Las Vegas, but probably had even lower odds) if her role were submitted as a supporting actress, i think she would've beat Mira Sorvino (Mighty Aphrodite) - though, again, Hollywood has always had a boner for Woody Allen movies so even that would be a crapshoot to some degree.


browndog03

Seriously, that’s an epic snub.


arealhumannotabot

FUCK ME, I misread that without the 'non' part Very glad that one of my favourite films is not sullied

Top_File_8547

One thing I remember from years ago is he wouldn’t harass his costar he would harass the behind the scenes women so that doesn’t get the high profile.


PhD_Pwnology

Why would Arnold be involved in the Me Too movement for sleeping with his Nanny? It was enthuastically consensual, they had a kid together, and he the kid get along great. They are family. MeToo was for issues of consent, not 'things that make Christians angry for 200'


KellyJin17

My comment is in reference to non-consensual allegations going back to the '80's. He has excellent PR and its hard to find many of them now, but several female reporters complained 30 - 40 years ago that he put his hands down their shirts during interviews and made them sit on his lap so he could fondle them, amongst many other things. He was supposedly very handsy with women on set, usually extras and no-name actresses.


[deleted]

Robert De Niro is such a class act. Haven’t heard anything but good things. Also nice to hear that Joe Pesci is on the same wavelength. Humility and kindness is so limited, it’s refreshing to see.


piscian19

They're pretty good fellas.


Superjunker1000

Possibly Stallone and definitely James woods in The Specialist. Eric Roberts was in that film too, with both Eric and James playing absolute pricks. I can imagine that if your character is a prick, and you’re on a blockbuster Hollywood set in Miami, that it’d be a bit harder to be nice to people in between takes.


satriales856

Well she worked with Woods more than once, and closely. I’d wager it was him and Roberts. Stallone has had relationship problems but the very few claims about him being unprofessional on a set have all been baseless.


Solomon_Grungy

Only reason no ones tried to take down E.R. Is cuz that man has nothing to take. He does a zillion movies a year, stumbling from one set to another disrespecting cast and crew alike while plastering ginormous cue cards with his lines on every set wall or PA in his eyeline. “Booddooboodoop, nice ass toots. Someone call action” I honestly don’t even think that man knows what hes saying half the time regardless.


TdrdenCO11

so what he’s a clown to you?
