best de niro character

[Grandma Death]

Its not just the fact that he is cashing in. What really annoys me is that he is crap at doing comedy,

I'd disagree slightly....he was fucking real funny in Midnight Run.

I'll give you Midnight Run but, overall and on the whole, etc, he is shit at being funny.

Louis Cyphre

One of those rare roles in which he plays a character other than Robert De Niro.

Its not just the fact that he is cashing in. What really annoys me is that he is crap at doing comedy, he's just not funny. But that's not all, due to the fact that he is so crap at being funny he relies on sending up old movie roles and his 'hard man image' which then devalues those earlier performances once considered the pinnacle of acting. Its like watching Taxi Driver the spoof version over, and over, and over again. It makes me really

Don't forget he's being cast by directors who apparently want what he can bring to the role.

I chose Travis Bickle. I really like Taxi Driver. However, it's the only film out of all of those that I've seen.

Genius-an amazing film. The scene where De Niro takes his lass to Jerry Lee Lewis house still gives me goose bumps. Its cringeworthy yet totally compelling.

Yeah but he still has to make the choice to do a film or not... or at least his agent does.

Robert De Niro gives one of his best comedy performances to date in this feel-good Mafia tale from Groundhog Day director Harold Ramis. De Niro stars as a Manhattan Mob boss.

Edit: O Billy Crystal in this Hum could be shit

 

[Bernie Gunther]
