Comments on: Martin Scorsese and John Smoltz – Two Guys Who Need to Hang it Up http://pacmanjonesin.com/2009/06/26/martin-scorsese-and-john-smoltz-two-guys-who-need-to-hang-it-up/ A Sports Entertainment Blog Tue, 17 Nov 2009 16:36:14 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5.2 hourly 1 By: Daniel de Boulay http://pacmanjonesin.com/2009/06/26/martin-scorsese-and-john-smoltz-two-guys-who-need-to-hang-it-up/comment-page-1/#comment-1408 Daniel de Boulay Thu, 02 Jul 2009 03:59:29 +0000 http://pacmanjonesin.com/?p=2281#comment-1408 Whoever wrote this really needs to consider hanging it up as a writer. Aviator is a wonderful film, as is The Departed, and Gangs of New York. Great Films! Great Films! This man clearly has no idea what he is talking about at all. I expect his Sinatra film to be amazing, and Silence. Shutter Island doesn't tell much from the trailer but it reminds me of another great Scorsese Film, "Cape Fear." Whoever wrote this needs to do two things...cut his wrists off, and go fuck himself. Whoever wrote this really needs to consider hanging it up as a writer.

That he can't just make Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, or GoodFellas over and over again? What a complete lack of respect for an artist: "Since some of us can't psychologically or emotionally grow with you, you are hereby considered a has-been". Ridiculous.

Was he competitive in Cy Young balloting for his last three seasons? If not, there's no comparison to Scorsese who accomplished the film industry equivalent of that.

The Departed, No Direction Home, Gangs of NY = all amazing films. Skip a few documentaries and one (or two?) movies before 'Gangs of NY' and you've got Casino, also an amazing movie. As for John Smoltz, in his limited appearances last year (2.57 ERA in 28 IP) and his full season the year before (3.1X ERA in 200 someodd IP).. well that pretty much says it all. His walk/strikeout ratio is about the same as his career average in those seasons and the rest of his numbers match up too. What's to think he can't do the same this year? One game? Srsly?
