It has a character in it played (expertly) by joe pesci that is a volatile psychopath who likes to tease people into thinking he's lost his rag. So you get a lot of stand-off type situations where you just don't know whether the guy is joking or not, and even if he is joking you don't know if he's going to kill them as part of the joke.

I think the point being that there are classic, seminal films that have similar plot devices in, so it doesn't mean this film will suck. However, johnny depp is not joe pesci and this is not goodfellas.

I also recommend you to watch that film if you haven't.

Jo Joe Pesci did it first!!

Somebuddy been watching too much Joe Pesci / Robert De Niro / Scorsese.
But it's funny that this guy is popping a neck vein over JB who is a Canadian. We Canadians are good at that... we export our shit singers to the States, keep the best ones for ourselves...

Generally, I would agree with you, but not in this context and not to this degree. Every region in American has their own little dialect and is commonly accepted.

The point of the game is to figure out what the phrase is. The parts of the phrase he supposedly mis-pronounced were already revealed so it's not an issue of him trying to "guess" his way through the game.

same with the southern woman. The G she dropped in swimming was already revealed on the board, so to harp on that particular part of the word was bullshit. gee she said "swimmin'" what other word could she have possibly meant?

had the contestants been trying to mumble their way through some part of the phrase that hadn't been revealed, I would be on WoF's side, but that clearly is not the case.

It was a dick move on their part, probably motivated by not wanting to award prize money. end of story.

What's next? They going to screw over someone with a heavy Boston accent? I guess they screen out anyone with a foreign accent if they are that anal about pronunciation. Guess Joe Pesci won't ever be a celebrity contestant.

There's a line from Loaded Weapon, when the gruff black guy is talking to the Joe Pesci type guy, and the Joe Pesci guy says "I don't know nothin!" and the black guy says "Please, no double negatives".

I remember that, and I haven't seen that film since 1993.

Reminds me of Joe Pesci.

How is it that you can condemn me for condescension and self-righteousness, while being condescending and self-righteous, without a trace of awareness? I don't think I am better than anyone else. Yes, I enjoy a bit of flourish now and then, so perhaps I was overbearing in my criticism..however, as a movement, OWS is incoherent. No real message and no real solution. We are 99 percent? They don't represent the views of anyone I know. I think some people are hoping it will get violent and turn into an Arab Spring situation. Except it won't. Most people in this country, while fed up, are hard working people who aren't looking for a handout.

I see now that condescension and self-righteousness are actually personality traits of yours, and not just your attitude toward heathens and atheists. However, I think we were already well-aware of your inability to grasp simple, rational concepts and... well, English. No need to keep proving it. We get it.
Joe Pesci Bless you.
PLONK.

I see what you did there..and this is a movement without any cohesive message or objective..just seems like its bunch of college dropouts collectively shouting "WAAAAH!" It's first world problems on steriods. Everyone has a different sign with a different gripes, it's a cacaphony of inarticulate complaining. I agree with the general message that the rich run this country..To which I reply, no duh. This country, along with every other in history, follows the golden rule: He who has the gold makes the rules. So long as we live in a fallen world, this isn't going to change.

I keep thinking I'm going to hear the bird say in a Joe Pesci "Oh I'm sorry. Did you not see me walking here? See thats what happens. Next time its the garbage disposal."

That's the worst Joe Pesci imitation ever.

Holy crap It's Joe Pesci lost cousin

Oh, and also, she has the grace enough to understand where the anger came from:

"Almost 18 years ago, I tore up a picture of Pope John Paul II on an episode of "Saturday Night Live." Many people did not understand the protest -- the next week, the show's guest host, actor Joe Pesci, commented that, had he been there, "I would have gave her such a smack." I knew my action would cause trouble, but I wanted to force a conversation where there was a need for one; that is part of being an artist. All I regretted was that people assumed I didn't believe in God. That's not the case at all. I'm Catholic by birth and culture and would be the first at the church door if the Vatican offered sincere reconciliation."
