      @@arricammarques1955 The Aviator - which is nowhere near the same class as King of Comedy or After Hours - got 11 nominations, and won 5. And it was lucky to get those! We're talking King of Comedy and After Hours, and you equate them with a sloppy, overdirected, miscast, overhyped lump of mediocrity like The Aviator (or anything else he's done in the 21st century/late 90s?) 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤣🤣🤣🤣

      @@brando7266 Cape Fear was the biggest box office Scorsese and De Niro ever had together. De Niro and Juliette Lewis were nominated. It went right into pop culture, from The Simpsons to Seinfeld. And it's remembered as one of the big suspense movies of the 90s. So I don't think it's nearly as underrated as "Color Of Money", which hardly anybody remembers, or "King Of Comedy" and "After Hours" which were not successes when they came out, with "The King Of Comedy" being panned by critics.

    I saw this movie in 1985 in Bologna, Italy, dubbed into Italian. I was 19, and American, but from the Midwest and didn't know New York City; and even as nutty as the City looks in the film, I LOVED it and desperately wanted to live there. Twenty years and one marriage later, I moved to NYC and have been in love with it ever since. Thanks, Marty.

The setting, the humor, the characters, the time period, the actors involved, and Scorsese‘s direction are all just so damn good.

    came across this in connection with Teri Garr's passing...the question asked at the end about why After Hours remains relevant with technology changes (Uber, no need for cash, change in SoHo, etc.) comes back to, in my opinion, the WHY that propelled "Paul" (Griffin Dunne) to make that late night call in the first place...he was desperate for real human connection, which is why he "tolerates" the craziness he comes across...great film...sooooo many amazing performances by actors given the quirkiness of the characters as they were written...

    "Doom and Gloom" sums this film up, well besides the comedic approach, the "narrative" in this film is heavier than that of Taxi Driver. Being stuck in a mundane job you hate so you try for escapism after hours, and find worse entrapment and stress there. Then you go back to work.
    After Hours is more like a cynical political cartoon than an actual plot based film.

      Hardly a film critic. She's a renowned author/editor, actor and public speaker with a world perspective specific to New York and the Tri State area; it's the perfect perspective from which a fellow New Yorker like Scorcese can open up and discuss this particular, pivotal fragment of his career. Sardonic, maybe; but not pompous.

      It's also my fave. Other film nerds look at me like I'm crazy when I say this: "How can you like 'After Hours' more than 'Raging Bull' or 'Taxi Driver'? Part of the reason why is that it's such a quirky and unique movie. Another reason is because it came out at a time when, as a teenager, I took my first trip to NYC and discovered the place on my own without my parents, and it perfectly encapsulates the weirdness, the darkness, the eccentricity and even the menace of the place before the Giuliani administration cleaned up and gentrified the city.

    I had a kind of living anxiety dream lately. I was to pick up a car my Dad had left me in his will. Home to car to bus to airport to airport to Uber to hotel. I thought I had everything planned out perfectly. Well, I used the wrong bus schedule. I arrived 1/2 hour early (I thought, having to pee), but the woman at the counter said, that's your bus ready to leave right now, pointing outside. I freaked out, ran out there (still having to pee), got out my ticket form my backpack, and in doing os, laid my iPhone on the bench. I was so relieved that my ticket scanned properly, that I left my phone on the bench and started my bus journey to Boston/Logan airport. The rest of the journey was me trying to figure out how to operate without a cell-phone (harder than you might think). Then I extended my stay at the hotel, over the phone, and left to go with my brother to get the car title, etc. I got back to the hotel, and they had thrown out all my stuff! Stuff I had left behind. So, I had to replace that. Then the title. And the registration. Then the car wouldn't start. Replace the battery. Then since it had been sitting for a year, the tires were klunky. Then I got lost driving back to the hotel at 11pm (no phone for maps). I'm dead-tired because I wasn't sleeping. Everyone I met or talked to seemed like a zombie to me. You really do get desperate in that situation. And a calm, kind helpful person really does seem like an angel.

I am a big Scorsese fan and I love King of Comedy, so I had high hopes for After Hours and thought it might be another low-key masterpiece but I was so dissapointed. It is not funny, it is so oddball, and not in a satisfying Coen Brothers way, more like a "lets introduce as many weird characters and scenarios as we can and that's funny" kind of way. Only saving grace is how good the film looks: great cinematography and a really interesting look at NYC in the 1980s.

    When Martin Scorsese said that Hollywood could make an updated version of “after hours”. They already did. It was a episode of Ted Lasso

    Jesus! This was so much fun! Thanks! I didn't like Fran's own stuff on NYC so much in the Netflix movie but she's a great interviewer!

    Fran Lebowitz is creepin the crap outta me. Glad Martin is in his flow and just keeps going.
