Yellow | The Irishman Final Trailer (2019) Netflix

I was off today, just watched it.

Family over tomorrow and a i suspect a few of them might be annoying to watch it with. :17142:
 
I sat thru it and found it some what entertaining but disappointing. IMO it not anywhere near as good as the Godfather, Goodfellas or Casino.
 
"Irishman" is Two Thumps up , watched it over wk-end and thought it was a great movie and found it very very very interesting of what fund they talked about of taking money out of to give & build Casinos , watch & pay attention to that detail in movie :guiness:

I agree with you. What I found interesting are some.of the places they filmed at. One was an ice cream store on Long Island. We use to go to it a few times a week. I read the story where the filming took about a week and they redid the stores to make it look like it was in the 60's. Other than that it was drawn out. Took three days to watch it..

If you will remember the word on the street back then was that it was Sal Briguglio, who worked for mafia captain Ton Pro, that killed Hoffa.

This is a link to a reporter on Fox that has been following this story for years.. Totally contradicts the movie The Irishman..

Phillip Moscato Jr., the son of one of the Hoffa suspects, said his father not only told him that "Sally Bugs," his childhood friend and fellow mobster, shot Hoffa but also where Hoffa's remains were buried in northern New Jersey. A second independent revelation came from Frank Cappola, the son of the co-owner of the Jersey City dump where the FBI was told Hoffa's body was taken. Cappola corroborates Moscato's information that Hoffa was transported to New Jersey after he was killed in Detroit. Cappola also says that he knows where Hoffa was buried because he told us that it was his father Paul who buried him.

This was posted some years ago and I couldn't open the link. Ed Stier, in the opinion of many including Hoffa jr right up until he resigned for getting too close to Teamster corruption in Chicago, is a stand up guy

TPM Cafe | Talking Points Memo | Myth of Union Corruption
By the time Hoffa disappeared in 1975, the Central States pension fund had loaned an estimated $600 million to people connected with organized crime, according to Mr. Stier, who resigned his union appointment in April after questioning the union's ongoing commitment to rooting out corruption. But many of the loans did serve their intended purpose, making money to pay for Teamsters' retirement benefits. The hotels, casinos and other real estate projects, not all of which were connected to organized crime, were generally profitable, according to Mr. Stier, and before his disappearance Hoffa saw to it that his loans were repaid.

I haven't seen the movie, just curious if they mentioned how Bobby Kennedy purchased the tesimony of a lying extortionist, to convict Hoffa?
