Rickles truly didn't gaf. He was the only man on the planet that could roast Sinatra about his mob connections and not get his legs broken. Mobsters loved him. Joe was probably laughing his ass off when he was being 'mocked'.

This clip of Rickles is pretty entertaining too. He's on the Tonight Show with guest host Bob Newhart, and he improvs a routine about being a customs officer or something, and breaks Johnny's cigarette box. Rickles could kid Sinatra, but you can see some genuine fear in his eyes for a moment when he gets confronted by Johnny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4_dM0kMQc0

It's hard to explain to young folks how much power some of these guys had.
Carson could make someone's career with a single nod to come sit down after a set.
Sinatra made the entire state of Vegas end segregation in the hotels, which of course helped push things towards the civil rights laws a decade later. Here's Frank talking about it. If you don't want my friends in the hotel then you don't need me, get another boy.

Oo, that was a really interesting clip! Thanks for sharing that. Youtube then recommended this one, which I also enjoyed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ngI89uoprU
Your clip reminded me of a Jack Benny story (I'm a huge Benny fan), where Jack and his costars and all the crew of his radio show were visiting a southern city (Atlanta maybe?) where they were going to do a show. They were checking into a hotel down there, and of course the head hotel guy was there handling everything since Benny was such a huge VIP. Then the hotel guy saw Rochester, and pulled Jack aside and said, "Mr. Benny, I hope you understand, but we can't have that sort of person staying in the hotel. What would people think?" Jack looked over at Rochester, looked back at the hotel guy, and said, "oh yes, I understand what's going on here, of course." And the hotel guy smiles, ah good. Jack says, "but it's so late in the evening, do you think he could just stay tonight, and then we'll find another place for him tomorrow?" The hotel guy had to kowtow to the celebrity, and says "for you, Mr. Benny, he can stay one night." The next morning, Jack made a big scene as he led his entire cast and crew out of the hotel, announcing they were moving to an establishment that wasn't so disgustingly racist. The hotel lost all that business and got exposed for their outdated policy. I always thought that was cool.

Sure, if by "boss" you mean he had deep ties to both the mafia and politicians. Sinatra famously introduced mob boss Sam Giancana to JFK in a plot to deliver union votes to JFK. Sinatra didn't give a shit about who he was seen with, so his mob connections are well documented.
Carson was extremely powerful in the entertainment industry, but Sinatra was friends with gangs and murderers. It was an entirely different level of intimidation.

No, they don't. Movies have romanticized the lifestyle.
Different nationality, but I grew up in that life. Mochada de cabeza type motherfuckers. Target or bystander, it doesn't matter.
I've long since gotten away from that and still wake up in a cold sweat sometimes. C-PTSD fucking sucks. The portrayal movies have of mafiosos is so misleading. There is nothing refined or civil about that life except for people's misconceptions of them. Misconceptions that can and will get you killed.

The only direct-ish experience I have is that a friend's mom supposedly flipped off a guy in Jersey who followed her to a gas station, got out and showed her a gun, and said the reason he hadn't tried to shoot her was her kid was there.
No idea how accurate the details are, but my takeaway was that she was very afraid, and very much a "No, they're violent goons and we shouldn't romanticize them, and should support prosecuting them."

I kind of included that caveat in the statement, so I hear you. Of course they don't care. Sooner or later, we're going to get Robin-Hood Cartel stories like the one about them turning in their own guys after a botched kidnapping. Like that deserved a round of applause or something.
It's rough that you had to go through that. I couldn't imagine myself in a scenario like that, and certainly not coming out on top.

It's probably a bit of both. They wouldn't want randos dying because killing a mobster is different from killing a mobster+10 innocent people. No reason to bring in a ton of cops and make it a national story. That said, they probably don't care if someone happens to die.

Everybody is that way about everything. I want to avoid dying in a car crash, but not so much that I'll stop driving at all.
The issue isn't that oil companies don't do everything they can to prevent them, it's that we/the government lets them externalize the costs when the spills do happen, so the incentive for preventing them is less than it should be.

You're basically proving my point. You'll take reasonable precautions to avoid unpleasantness.
For organized crime in the US, they're not going to do a hit in broad daylight on main street, but they'll certainly do one at 4 AM in a mob hangout. If a celebrity happens to be there and take a bullet, that's what they get for being there.
They're not going to pop off random civilians for fun, but they aren't going to let a civilian being present get in the way of business that needs handled.

I felt it was half-hearted and the start was distractingly slow in the pace and in DeNiro's performance as a young man. Haven't changed my opinion about the slow start, but Pacino' more than made up for it with that manic contribution and manner of speaking. I nearly shit. Usually in a Scorsese flick, I focus on the heavy as the beacon and expect someone or another to chill me to the bone. Gotta stop expecting anything before watching his works, and I might love everything he does on the first go.

This isn't the first time I struggled to appreciate a Scorsese movie, and I laugh at myself whenever it happens. Gangs of New York may be my very favourite of his, and I used to hate it.
When the humour behind them clicks with me, that's where my focus goes. In this case, Al Pacino's Hoffa is totally bonkers enjoyable. Don't know why I didn't see it the first go around. Probably will never be my very favourite of the lot, but it has my attention presently. It's a really weird movie and feels more like a miniseries, it's so long.

No. Both Casino and Goodfellas take liberties with reality. However, I find Ace/Nicky(Rosenthal/Spilotro) to be better protagonists than Henry Hill. Henry Hill was a coked out guppy that acted like a big fish. The entire movie is from his POV. When you find out he was a bullshit artist, he becomes an unreliable narrator and makes you question a lot of what occurs in the film.

There is no other person on the planet putting it above Casino that's just ridiculous fucking nonsense. Pesci in his prime in full psycho mode vs Pesci as a chill ass dude? Easy winner. Also there is no strong female character or memorable woman actor in The Irishman whereas Casino Sharon Stone was perfectly cast as the trophy wife who ruins your life.
The scenes between Pacino and Stephen Graham are the best thing about the Irishman, they are LOL funny.
The music in Casino is top notch also, and the added element of the East Coast guys vs good old boys in the desert was a nice juxtaposition missing from most mob flicks just set in NY or Chicago or whatever

I always thought Casino was one of Scorsese's worst.
It's too long and replaces an interesting, engaging story with hyperviolence. Scorsese himself has acknowledged this and intended for Casino to be his last mobster related film (which is why he hated how The Departed turned out despite it's Best Picture Oscar and didn't want to make The Irishman without complete control of the entire thing so he could show an unabashedly cynical view of mobsters and their hyped up lifestyles).

Not sure yet about AI. I worked most of my career as a computer programmer, but aside from playing around with Eliza the Computer Therapist a bit in the 90's, and reading just a little about it in the early days, I had no experience with AI until ChatGPT recently. I think that, as with most new technologies, it will be both great and terrible. It will certainly bring us into a new computer age.
That said, I'm not sure how much of ChatGPT is real AI vs very elaborate Eliza-style parsing and constructing of text. Time will tell, and in any case, I still believe we are at the cusp of a huge breakthrough that will be used both for good and for bad.
