Yea. So far, no trailer I've seen has excited me. I'm really only excited by the fact that we're seeing something we haven't seen in a while. And keeping in mind that I'm really only going by the trailers and clips we've seen, couldn't we have gotten that old-school feeling without it feeling like a step back (or a step in-place, I guess)?

You could argue that Goodfellas is showy, but everything Scorsese is doing enhances the narrative. That is not always the case.

I visit CHUD a few hundred times a day, IMDb a few times a day, and AV Club about once a week (they're rude over there, I tried commenting on one of their articles and everyone shot me down)

His Tony Bennett impersonation is also an all-timer.
