This was one of Scorseseā€™s best films. There was nothing low budget about it.

Goodfellas was low budget to yā€™all? Donā€™t do my guy Scorsese like thatā€¦ šŸ˜’ Donā€™t piss me off.

ā€œMadeā€ culture gotta stop. Iā€™ll leave it at that. Smh.

Don't despair, y'all. Venus Rx is a positive time. Some will even *find* love. Venus Rx is about rediscovering and affirming what it is you value. Even people who return to you now do so without malice.

i built this little firm during a recession, with zero capital, negative parental support... but i had a praying grandmother and rolodex of creatives from my time in tv who hated to read contracts. saints, turn to your neighbor and say, "LITERACY is a LADDER!"

My hand to god right before they took this photo I told Gene ā€œSmile like youā€™ve never actually met me beforeā€ and this is what he did. #RIPGeneHackman

I tell adults and kids all the time. Iā€™m going to meet you where you are and we will go from there. A lot of folks donā€™t want to do that and that brings issues they cry about. Soā€¦. Wellā€¦ šŸ¤·šŸ¾ā€ā™€ļø

More people are going to die

I worked with those kids for 2 years as a snot nose who didnā€™t know shit but what I was told. When I saw there was a huge problem I started asking questions. Admin tried to shut me up so I quit. Itā€™s sad because seeing the kids excited to learn things they never knew made me more compassionate

Get ready to see a lot of thisā€¦.
