Pope of Greenwich Village also, even if it's just mob adjacent

- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergencies (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.

Best Mob Movie?
- Thread starter TheGhostOfBernellTrammell
- Start date
State of Grace and Wise Guys (Joe Piscopo and Danny Devito).
Goodfellas is the most rewatchable, but Casino is great too. Donnie Brasco is underrated, even though having large Nordic Michael Madsen as a wop is a bit jarring. GF 1 and 2 are obviously masterpieces, but they do both kind of glamourise the mob to a degree, or at least mythologize them. The others I mentioned show them as the petty, rat-like, unpredictable scumbags they are.

A Bronxsh Tale. Louie Beans!!
A close second. But the true winner is casino, the length filters people
That’s a favorite of mine even though there’s barely any mob violence which seems to be key to mob movies. I have the 27x40 poster signed by Eric Roberts hanging in my living room - I got him to write “Charlie! They took my thumb!”
Another great one and when DeNiro was still good. I got to see Chaz speak at an event about getting it made years ago which was cool since they were just gonna but it from him but he held out so it could get made the way he wanted it, kinda like how Stallone held out on Rocky being bought so they could put someone else in the role
rewatched state of grace recently and it fucking sucked. I saw it with my dad and of course I was hyping it up, it's a classic, Ed Harris is in it too,we turned it off after penn fucked the sexy redhead, his lifts are comical as she is a good 3 inches taller than him.
....total overacting by oldman, Penn was just missing his little top hat, so unbelievable as a Mick. boondocks saints is better and it's shit
The trifecta is Goodfellas/donniebrasco/godfather part 1/2. That's it. that's the tweet. casino is too on the nose, scarfo is a tough guy, we get it.
Recently watched this piece of shit, and it's so bad that it's good. Mike Francesa is a good leading man.
De Niro was great in Mean Streets too, which I haven't since I was maybe 20 but remember enjoying.
The ending being the nigga walking into a garbage truck compactor broke my ribs
I think Casino flows better. God Sharon Stone was a tremendous cunt and a piece of ass
I’ve brought it up on here before. Thank you
Also, mob movies are usually boring.
I disagree as a baseball fan 61* is his best, enjoy prison stlaker.

Not sure if this counts because it's British, but The Long Good Friday is an amazing mafia/gangster movie.

Easily my favorite Cohen Bros movie.
They all fuck other men in prison. And a bunch of them have died of AIDS (hence the Vito storyline). There was a mobster who was shot and refused blood transfusions from anyone but members of his mafia family because he didn't want the hospital to infect him with AIDS. And of course one of the mafia members had AIDS and infected him.
