Martin Scorsese remembers the harsh criticism he received for his acclaimed film 'Goodfellas'

 

Martin Scorsese is a living legend of the seventh art, as demonstrated by the praise that his new film, 'The Moon Killers', has garnered, or the recognition that his previous film, 'The Irishman', received. However, he himself wanted to remember one of the lowest moments of his popularity: the premiere, in 1990, of the now emblematic 'Goodfellas', known in Spain as 'One of Ours' and in Latin America as 'Goodfellas'. '.

Although the film conquered specialized critics and received six Oscar nominations - Joe Pesci won the award for best supporting actor - an important sector of public opinion reacted to this story of Italian-American gangsters with alarming hostility. In the opinion of his detractors, Martin Scorsese was doing a disservice to the youth of the time, since he supposedly portrayed the world of organized crime in a positive and even aspirational sense.

What can we expect from Apple's "scary fast" event?

 

Apple will hold its second product event of the season, a month after unveiling its new iPhone 15 lineup.

The event, which is online-only, will begin this Monday at 8:00 pm ET/5:00 pm PT, an unusually late time for Apple presentations. Some analysts say the decision to hold a late-night event may underscore the fact that this probably won't be one of Apple's biggest announcements of the year.

The event's slogan, " scary fast ," is an apparent nod to the likely unveiling of its next-generation silicon chip, the M3, as well as Halloween. The company is expected to introduce new iMac computers with the powerful new chipset, which should also boost Mac sales. Mac sales have declined this year due to lower demand, overstocks and worsening weather. macroeconomic.

In recent years, the progression of Apple Silicon - the company's custom-made silicon chip - has become a major issue for Apple, culminating in the abandonment of Intel chips. Apple could further improve performance with the M3 chip at a time when it is gaining considerable ground in the traditional PC and laptop market.

Apple Silicon has attracted attention over the years and the overall performance in terms of processing, thermal efficiency and battery life is "extremely impressive," Wood said. "There's no doubt the company is quietly taking share away from rival laptop makers."

The time Matthew Perry "destroyed" Salma Hayek with his criticism

 

The film "An Impulsive and Crazy Love" brought together Salma Hayek from Veracruz and the late Matthew Perry in 1997, something that for the latter was not a good experience.

In his memoir "Friends, lovers and the big terrible thing" he suggests that the American did not respect the vision of the Mexican, who at that time was fighting to have a name in the Hollywood industry.

The romantic comedy about a young couple may show chemistry between both actors, but Perry made it clear in his work published last year.

"His observations were not always useful," Perry noted: For example, this was the case in a scene in which the characters are in love.
