I don't think he did, but it's been ages so it's possible. I definitely liked those too. "Sentenced to 100 years, died in prison. Shot 8 times in the face in his kitchen. Blown up by a nail bomb under his porch"

Yeah, those were great. I think my favorite was the lone �Well-liked by everyone, died of natural causes� in between all the murders.

I did think it was weird that Anna Paquin only had two lines. I get why the character was written that way, I just thought it was kind of strange to cast someone like her for just that, even though her two lines were pretty great. Maybe she just wanted to be in a Scorsese movie?

I gotta think that marty doesn't really believe this dude was the mafia Forrest Gump either, but it works for an entertaining movie.

Even the painting houses thing was not a term used by any other mafiaso ever, just this one specific dude's book deal. Has a nice ring to it though.

I think I also totally missed the way they boosted deniros height and stature to match the real dude..Didn't register once, just like how he was never a defined age to me..just weird or less weird depending on the scene.

deniro 5'10, pesci 5'4, sheeran 6'4

I feel like I should have noticed deniro being an entire foot taller then joe pesci and towering over him..but I never got that sense..cheating an actors height half a foot isn't a small difference

from pg 2

Never mind De Niro, I�m more confused about Pacino�s feet situation there.
