    Hearing about those neighborhoods in NYC and the sounds the jukebox made the 50's songs my father rented a bar where I am from in the late 50s and
    bought a Wurlitzer jukebox for the bar a nickel for a song the records on it from 1957 to 1959 basically that jukebox has speakers and when record selected plopped over and needle hit it the songs were amazing coming out of its belly. The jukebox after bar closed for good was moved into our basement and my brothers would have parties kinda like their own club dancing to these songs drinking beer etc. I heard these songs coming up thru the grates in the walls of our early 1900s house . Quite a memory good to hear him tell it-outstanding in his young life he is about my brothers age born during the war both of them

    I'm almost 40, but the first time i ever actually heard of Martin Scorsese was in an episode of Animaniacs where the Good Feathers were doing a parody of West Side Story. I knew what West Side Story was, i had heard of the movie Good Fellas and i knew who Joe Piesci was from watching rented VHS tapes of the Lethal Weapon movies my parents would pick up from the grocery store. I knew of the Godfather movies and Taxi Driver from the memes, parodies, and hearing them being brought by my parents, my uncles at family gatherings, and through other tv shows and cartoons from the late 80's and early 90's.
    But that Good Feathers segment of that episode of Animaniacs had a whole song about the Good Feathers and their rival gang wanting to perch on a statue of Scorsese in the park. I had no idea he was or why he would have a statue in a park in a cartoon version of Little Italy in New York City.
    It wasn't until i was in my teens and finally saw Good Fellas with my friends from highschool that it all finally came together. Then i was able to catch Taxi Driver on Turner Classic Movies and eventually caught the beginning of a Godfather 1 & 2 showing on TNT or TBS a little later that it all finally made sense!!!!

    I’ve seen, in the last few days, two “You talking/speaking to me?” lines in pre-“Taxi Driver” works. One in a Twilight Zine episode starring Joe Mantell and one in “Shane,” where Ladd says to a confrontational Ben Johnson, “You speaking to me?” So, good as the De Niro line is, it was hardly groundbreaking.

      One more in His Girl Friday. Cary Grant says "You talking to ME?"
