The Irishman - 2019





About ten minutes into the movie I realised it was not going to satisfy me, but as I wasn't alone I thought I'd let it run and see if I could make it interesting. At first I concentrated on the sets, cars and costumes, but about 2/3 into the movie I could see it was an historically interesting movie given the mobs' involvement in JFK, Nixon and general affairs of the USA from the early forties through till the early 80's when mobster and Union chief Jimmy Hoffa went missing (murdered by the Irishman)

The film is populated with all the old stars of previous mobster movies, including Pacino, Keitel, Pesci and the degenerate scum Robert de Niro who wont be remembered fondly by the end of Trump's presidency. 

You can take that to the bank.

It does coalesce into and interesting narrative towards the end but in my view, this is the swan song to Italian mob movies as the informed researcher will already understand that Hollywood is largely responsible for portraying the mafia as Italian when the real handlers were the likes of Meyer Lansky, Bugsy Siegel, The Bronfmans, Mossad, Sayanim and associated Israeli Terrorist Gangs and Politicians.

Beat her into submission


Welcome to the latest agency from WPP. George Parker knows exactly what he's talking about. See you at Cannes next year but only if you punish me. Go on, I'm a consumer...I like.

おーるどぼーい - Old Boy



Wouldn't it be great if all those favourite movie scenes could be made into huge posters by uploading the image and then mounted so that you could choose how many sheets to print the job without having a city and guilds in Photoshop  

Participatory media as marketing in action is just the job at Block Posters.
