De Niro wtf!!!!!

May 10. Thank God for the rain which has helped wash away the garbage and trash off the sidewalks. I'm working long hours now, six in the afternoon to six in the morning. Sometimes even eight in the morning, six days a week. Sometimes seven days a week. It's a long hustle but it keeps me real busy. I can take in three, three fifty a week. Sometimes even more when I do it off the meter. All the animals come out at night - whores, skunk pussies, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick, venal. Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets. I go all over. I take people to the Bronx, Brooklyn, I take 'em to Harlem. I don't care. Don't make no difference to me. It does to some. Some won't even take spooks. Don't make no difference to me.

You talk'in to me?
 
Shelley winters tells a good anecdote with regard to deniro winning some minor award whilst still a very young fella, she said some critic pulled him and reckoned he couldnt act and was picked for the part cause he resembled a smack head....she said bobby replied 'you mean act like this' and pulled a sheepish face with the bloom of redness starting to show around his adams apple it crept up his neck filled his cheeks and disappeared in reverse...she said she'd never seen an actor that could pull an embarrassed kite like deniro.
 
Always been a bit one dimensional, straight faced actor. Not much else to him. This is about as diverse as his acting has ever been.

He's a much better comedic actor than Pacino -- trying to think of Pacino doing any comedies (Scarface, which is unintentionally funny, doesn't count).

And Taxi Driver -- a man going over the edge is not one-dimensional. And in Goodfellas too -- the whole point of the Jimmy Conway character is that he is so TWO-dimensional -- Jimmy the Gent one minute, a complete stone-cold murderer the next, as Jimmy Burke was in real life.

Agree with others about "Midnight Run" which is up there among the most underrated films I can think of, though TBF Charles Grodin steals the film away from De Niro which tells you how good Grodin was.
 
Don't know if it applies to De Niro but a number of actors lost money in the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme. I always think of that when I see Kevin Bacon and Harvey Keitel in shit adverts.

Just checked and there's a film about the fraud in which De Niro stars as Madoff which is indicative, especially as Malkovich is in it and he was definitely a known victim. Poor buggers.

The once great actor and hero of mine seems to be desperate to erase any credibility he once had. I could put up with the camp sailor thing, the embarrassing focker thing, the cringeworthy grandad thing, even warburtons bread(you would have thought someone would have told him how to pronounce it)

But the last straw dressed up like a twat flogging KIa cars. How much money do you need before you die?

He along with others lost money with Bernie Madoff and he wasn't the best paid actor either.

Yes he did.
 
Must say that I find his Warburtons ad very funny!
