You don't have to stretch to point of unreality to see Tracy Flick as Hillary.

De Niro’s brain is about the size of that huge mole on his face that we get to see as they always photograph him from that side. Well . . . maybe his brain isn’t that large.

Wasn’t the Taxi character a hero?

De Niro’s movies have been horrible these past few years. Pfft to you Bob!

Here are some obscure film titles from the last four years:
The Bag Man. Heist. Killing Season. Red Lights. Being Flynn.

Here are some domestic box office numbers:
$56,000; $50,000; $39,000; $52,000; $540,000.

Here are some Rotten Tomatoes scores:
23%; 10%; 11%; 29%; 51%.

And here is the name that united them all:
Robert De Niro.

The Shaming Of Robert De Niro
After a slew of box office bombs and critical flops, Robert De Niro’s been told to retire, that he’s ruining his legacy, that he’s too blinded by his own genius to understand just how limp his films truly have become. But what if there’s a different explanation for why his movies end up so badly?

Funny how De Niro plays murderous psychopaths so convincingly.

Unless you talk and act like a liberal loon, you just don’t get the good movie parts. Welcome to Hollywood.

Reading a VF article on DeNiro

Dysfunctional all his life. Small wonder he can play dysfunctional roles. It’s in his blood

And for a guy who “Talks about Taxi Driver” there’s this:

federal investigators revealed that he’d been inspired by De Niro’s portrayal in Taxi Driver of the crazed loner Travis Bickle, who stalks a presidential candidate. Eventually the movie was screened as evidence for a jury as it sat in judgment on Hinckley. De Niro was horrified by the controversial worldwide publicity Taxi Driver received in the media (“Can a film drive someone to murder?”). For the first time in his career, De Niro was stopped on the street by fans demanding that he recite Bickle’s infamous line: “Ya talkin’ to me?”

“Don’t they realize I’m not that guy?” De Niro kept asking.

“Do not ever bring up the subject of Taxi Driver with Robert,” director Ulu Grosbard warned me. “He gets extremely upset.”

“You talking to me?” Looks around. “Well, I’m the only one here.”

I'm more worried that De Niro would imitate his Taxi-Driver character (or any of his other murderous characters... he has played a lot of them) and try to kill Trump.

De Niro is comparable to a kumquat.

Whenever you hear one of these Hollywood airheads criticizing the US or the Reps abroad, always remember that more than half of Hollywood’s film revenue comes from overseas. They are the absolute globalists. They feel no real allegiance to the US.

Well, if Trump can be accused of inciting people to kill a presidential candidate by merely responding to someone in the crowd who said “Second Amendment,” can’t De Niro be accused of the same by bringing up this movie?

I wish he would just shut up and go back to making good movies, because I like him as an actor. Goodfellas, Godfather II, and I also liked the Meet the Parents. And Analyze This. Though Ben Stiller and Billy Crystal were also very funny; they all played against each other very well.

Deniro has been mailing in it for the last 30 years.

He’s not that intelligent and had a run-in with Trump prior, and Deniro quietly ran home.

Nobody ever accused Bobby of being the sharpest tool in the shed.

There was that one move where he costarred with Ed Norton who played a retarded janitor. DeNiro was the good guy in this one. The movie was “The Score” http://www.epinions.com/review/the_score_dvd_2009_value_line_dvd_widescreen/155177768/32956714628

if we are going to question character, let Mr De Niro discuss his love of under aged girls. Open “secret” in Hollywood.
