Scorsese honors DeNiro at Kennedy Center awards

December 29th, 2009 by Scott Marks

Marty and the gang got together Sunday night at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to pay omaggioto Bobby D. The Prefecture of the Pontifical House on Elizabeth Street offered His benediction before turning the proceedings over to Meryl Streep, Harvey Keitel, Sharon Stone and Edward Norton. What’s the matter? Joe Pesky couldn’t get his runty ass off the golf course long enough to pagare il suo rispetto? Disonorante…

See how Mr. Bobby Big Shot looks perched in the loges with the rest of the sweepstakes winners, Mel Brooks, Bruce Springsteen, Grace Bumbry and Dave Brubek, Is it me or is DeNiro looking a little like Robert Young in his Marcus Welby period? All he does is sit and laugh, which is pretty much what he’s been doing on screen (and all the way to the bank) for the past fifteen years.

Excuse me. What’s with those rainbow things they got hanging around their necks? They look like gay suspenders, for Christ’s sake.

And, Bob, tell me why. Why the f@*% do you have to go all the way to Washington for you to sit next to the Opera chick with the dog cone?

I’m sure Keitel first met DeNiro “on a street like this” paper mache tenement mock-up. What’s with the shitty set: a hot dog cart and a garbage can! And Ben Stiller shows up and does shtick. Look how they honor Him. Like a bum. Like a trash man.

Don’t turn it off until you see Norton’s spot on impression of Lord DeNiro.

James Cameron’s Airport A’hole Shouting Match

December 24th, 2009 by Scott Marks

Sign or Shine?

The entire cast had already inscribed the “Avatar” one sheet. All he needed was the king of the world’s signature to transform the poster into eBay gold.

Armed with little more than a Sharpie, a piece of movie memoribilia and a porkpie hat, the desperate fan waits with his mini-camera crew to snare the reclusive auteur outside LAX. James Cameron takes one look at the poster and does everything in his powers to refrain from tearing it to shreds.

All he has to do is take the marker and scrawl his name. What’s the big deal? Instead, he gives the guy a snubbing he’ll never forget. ” “I don’t owe you a f**king signature … just get out of my f**king personal space.” Later, in a stage whisper, Cameron refers to his airport escort as an “effing a**hole.”

The fan, who worked an hour of his life to afford the $15 to see “Avatar” in IMAX 3D, instantly turns on its master and becomes Cameron’s vocal assailant.

The biggest laugh comes when Cameron actually acknowledges the guy by saying, “Every time you open your mouth you absolutely justify my decision.” 

The battle is lost when the heated fan chides Cameron with “Even spielberg signs whatever you have.” (Do you think he’d sign my picture of Jonathan Norman?) Not guilty by reason of spielberg! He should have cold-cocked him for that insult.
