I’m fine with both XL and Gampel to be fair but Jon Rothstein really has been entrenched in this debate and just crapping all over the XL center. Has to have been asked to do this by UConn staff because there is no way he cares about this issue that much to continue to bring it up.
Just because it's a thing with me, I have always friggin' LOVED "Goodfellas" on AMC, Bravo, Channel 9, you name it.
It's best when it's a back-to-back double play, and I've been flipping channels and noticed it was on, had missed some early scenes, and knew I'd get to watch the replay. It might be the single thing I miss most about not having cable any more. The cheesier the mix of commercials, the better.
The last time I saw it this way was in an Airbnb in NYC's Theater District in 2018, and I was, as always, transfixed. And I was, as always, asked, "Again? How many times have you seen this?," and had to hear, "But it's already been on a while. And there's commercials."
And of course they're saying 'motherhumper,' and they've remove a lot of blood, and...I. Do. Not. Care.
This comment otherwise offers no opinion on the XL Center vs.Gampel, though a student-packed on-campus arena does align more with my overall values.
And, I'm not even criticizing Rothstein, because I did get to see a 35mm print of "Goodfellas" at Yale's Whitney Humanities Center in Fall 2019, and it was truly great.
So many possibilities, but I'll just go with this one...
