Not that big a fan of De Niro but i love his performance in this movie.

 

[Punished Dan Mullen]

i remember jim used denrios character to insult callers. he thinks hes the wildly successful comedian while the fans of OnA are stlaker of his

One of my all time favorites. Looks like a retard wrote this. The more scribbled the name the bigger the fame!

 

[ToeTriggerAidsGun]

I chose to believe Rupert really did become a successful, beloved comic and those weren't simply his delusions, stlaker.

Love it. De Niro is a faggot, there's no question about it, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have some kind of love for all the older movies he was in. The Scorsese films are a given, but We're No Angels, The Mission, Once Upon a Time in America, c'mon MAN.

Also, Sandra Bernhard is totally fuckable in TKOC, and Jerry Lewis is a faggot for not doing it. Debate me.

She has that crazy person charm to her. I couldn't imagine any other actress pulling that role off.

I was just thinking yesterday I'm due for watching it again ASAP. Only saw it for the first time a couple years ago, seent it twice. Just fucking great. One of those old movies that doesn't "feel" that old.

I like it, but I also hate people () who talk about it because it's semi-obscure and they think it makes them cool.

Fantastic movie, so good I even enjoyed the Joaquin Phoenix remake

To me it’s one of DeNiro’s best performances and he didn’t even get nominated for an Oscar. I think it was an example of “Star 80” syndrome where the actor is playing someone you’re not supposed to like, or as Roger Ebert said “a creep”, and the academy won’t even nominate you.

I was talking to some younger people (early to mid 20s) who liked Joker but had never heard of King of Comedy. Once I told them the plot of King they said “holy shit that’s pretty much the same movie”

I really liked Rupert. I admired his tenacity.

I did too. Obviously the original is superior but I enjoyed all the references and it felt more of a love letter to it than a shameless ripping off.

The only problem I had with Joker was it just kept making me want to watch King of Comedy instead

Fuck comic book shit

I’m conflicted.

On one hand his life was in danger as far as he knew and he did the correct thing… on the other hand that body was fucking rocking and he’s a FAGGOT for not ravaging it and then escaping.

oh this one is going to be a doozy

"King of Comedy" was one of the original movies that once were mine

.....and then, slowly but surely, everyone found out about it

It's sad when that little esotieric movie of yours is being recommeded back to you by some wasp yuppies who thought they were the only one to discover it
