Jimmy: It's a movie with Ironman, Hulk, Captain America, Black Panther Scorsese: That's not a movie

[@mackielunkey2205]

Coppola: Why would you do this to Marty? It’s despicable.

[@agasthya9128]

😂😂

Omg best comment.

[@gradatim4065]

"It's a movie. But not cinema. More like a theme park."

[@dvaccaro96]

Poor Martin looks like he's trying to talk to a 6 year old

[@bfkc111]

That's just your projection, he's just playing along. He actually talks always so accommodating, peppered with lots of friendly smiles.

[@croinkix]

he'd probably be happy to talk to a 6 year old . He seems nice like that

[@billhader6766]

He really is. I swear i'be watched almost all his interviews and he gives everyone the same attention and charisma. You can tell he really enjoys being with people and he loves that people want to hear what he has to say and he too wants to hear what they have to say.

[@thouxanbando]

Dario Vaccaro THATS because Jimmy is a 3 year old

[@carstarsarstenstesenn]

I’d much rather watch that than Fallon tbh

[@rhobbietuazon6938]

martin scorsese looks like the old guy from the movie up

he looks more like the old man in toy story, but with hair.

[@anonymousman.5195]

@King Peppy I don’t love you

[@user-vt4hd8hb4v]

Man I'd love to see Quentin Tarantino and Scorsese just talking about movies

[@constantdvdcollector]

I like him, but I would rather chat with George Lucas or Guillermo del Toro.

[@zacharypopp3549]

Scorcese is ACTUALLY doing short plot summaries, not just saying the most obvious scene from the movie. Really impressive when you think about it.

[@kenanwtube]

This is an underrated comment!

[@carlwilliams9642]

Citizen Cane in one second? "Rosebud."

[@marcusjfowler]

That's not really a summary, it's just a quote from the movie.

[@lanarkorras4411]

Yeah, but it gets the job done. :)

[@MPresheva]

Xanadu

[@splendidtorch7800]

for real i was thinking the same thing

[@splendidtorch7800]

@thelunaticfringe "bear fight" isn't a summary either

[@PowerGlove79]

I would love to just sit with Martin Scorsese and just talk movies, the stories and his knowledge would put mine to shame

[@AliEtSaMaman]

Since you probably can't sit with Marty, I recommend you download/borrow/steal and watch "A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies". A true cinema masterclass.

[@olcan14421]

This is so scripted it won the best original screenplay

[@AnasKhan-ht2tb]

Ogulcan Cura Yeah i don't think this was scripted, but damn what a comment XD

ya. isn't he like the very definition of a genius!

[@jumpbouy2331]

[@sydneytimmermans]

Martin Scorcese normal talking speed is enough to describe the plot of all the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies in 3.7 seconds.

[@jonathanstauss1831]

Jimmy: you have 5 seconds to say what the movie is. Martin: no, I don’t think I will.

[@ryanmacgibbon301]

I love that new snowman, disney movie "Forever".

[@HAL-vm3wn]

Better than Frozen

[@duckface4828]

what's the time for? if they keep describing and clarifying details XD

[@Goofy_Toons]

right? also Martin caught glimpse of the cards when he turned it over

[@oriolesaltec]

+Donald Duck It's Martin Scorsese. You aren't going to tell him to be quiet!

[@redmanra1n]

+Donald Duck its meant to be fun...its not a real game show...its martin scorsese and as far as i´m concerned,i´m sure he had a great time there,so who cares about the time? :)

[@dawsondjodvorj2408]

@Franz Styles Coppola: nah dont say that, its despicable.

[@tahakamran6196]

Marty definitely died inside when Fallon answered Psycho for the first card.

[@superbaixo]

"Rosebud" would be enough for Citizen Kane.

[@Cosmic86x]

It seems to me that Martin Scorsese is one of the most likeable and coolest persons in Hollywood.

[@victorkong82]

This kind of "interview" is so below Scorsese

that’s pretentious af

[@Linny95]

So fake. It's painfully obvious Jimmy already knows the answers

[@paulahyland7688]

+Lin Yang How so exactly?

[@Linny95]

Paula Hyland His bad acting, the fact everything on television is pre-planed, his timing on 'not knowing the answer' then figuring it out and his bad reactions. Plus it would be bad television if Jimmy didn't know the answers and the whole segment was just him saying "I don't know". That would be a disaster. Plus the segment is trying to explain the film in 5, 3 and 1 second. A lot could go wrong, so it's best if he knows the answers beforehand so the segment runs smoothly. Hence why he badly acts like he doesn't know the answer, only to figure it out later on so the audience is entertained.

[@norelcopc2431]

+Linnyboy It's not preplanned. That would take all the fun out of it. Jimmy couldn't guess Sunset Boulevard.

[@Linny95]

norelco pc It is pre-planned LOL Most interviews, if not all interviews are pre-planned. How do you think all the interviewers always have the exact video or picture to show the audience whenever they're speaking about something funny? Plus, Jimmy not guessing an answer is just a fake to make you believe it's real and not planned. If they made it seem like they already knew everything then it takes out the fun. So they fake it

[@ericrenteriaear]

+Linnyboy I agree with it being pre-planned but just FYI some host like Conan actually have a guy behind the scenes that quickly searches up pictures to use on the show

[@FreshSqueezedLightning]

I like how they threw the timer out the window lol

[@BostonRedSoxForever]

Martin Scorcese = GENIUS

[@dawsondjodvorj2408]

@King Peppy he has only made 3 gangster movie out of 25 movies, wtf are you talking about? He is a genius.

[@dawsondjodvorj2408]

@King Peppy I guess you are a triggered marvel fanboy. Cape fear wasnt his best, but it isnt bad. Look at Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas all 3 one of the greatest films ever made. Then there are other ignored masterpieces like after hours, king of comedy, the age of innocence. Then there's casino, Hugo, the aviator, gangs of new york. Then Shutter Island, the departed, the wolf of wall street, silence, the irishman and etc. He has made masterpieces after masterpieces, dont get butthurt over his marvel comment. His movies vary, he has tried so many different genre and have never given a single bad film.

[@dawsondjodvorj2408]

@King Peppy You are just a triggered marvel fanboy. You guys are so ridiculous, taxi driver is one of the greatest films ever made, the movie has high symbolic content, complex thematic exploration. You probably dont have the brain capacity to comprehend good art, go stick to your garbage marvel.

[@dawsondjodvorj2408]

@King Peppy You asking that question clearly shows that you didn't understand the movie, the same happened with me when I watched it for the first then after rewatching it I understood what the movies tried. It dealth with existentialism, masculinity, loneliness and mental health, child prostitution and politics.. The movies touches on these sensitives theme in one of the most brilliant ways ever. The cinematography is hypnotic, the score and De Niro's performance is just mesmerizing, the final act of the movie is one of the best ever. The motifs/symbolism used throughout the movies were commendable, the way its left on ambiguity, for different interpretation of travis and the movie is remarkable. You should rewatch it, it isn't a movie that you could just watch with no focus, you need complete focus

[@dawsondjodvorj2408]

@King Peppy What I said was short description about something you asked. I wont start writing something as big as you wrote. If you have issues go check out tons of analysis done on taxi driver.

[@tina12343211]

at 2:46 scorsese clearly looks at the next card so of course he knew the revenant

[@leer6871]

This would have been better as "Five-Word Summaries" then they have time to think.

[@Nielsen700]

Has legendary director on his show. Makes him summarize movies in 5 seconds (some not even his own) and has the man do a DeNiro impression. Wow...

[@ashwinkelly2523]

Imagine this with Wes Anderson: ‘Chapter 1: It establishes characters.’ ‘Uhm’

[@MrZackavelli]

"My movies are long" should've been greeted with uproarious applause

[@kickhuggy]

so weird that people accuse Jimmy of looking at the cards before... what would he get from it? people thinking he's good at watching movies?

[@paulahyland7688]

+Spider-manana I agree. He LOVES games and he's competitve. If it's so "obvious" to the audience and viewer that he saw these cards in advance, what would be the point of even playing the game?

[@kickhuggy]

Paula Hyland right, I can't even imagine how small a person has to be to cheat on a game with no rewards.... Lol

[@paulahyland7688]

+Spider-manana Exactly!

[@iplayguitarnbass]

No not at all. It's simple, it's just how he is... :/

[@xeniosm4549]

If you ask a director to describe the plot, he will do just that. Jimmy should have said to him to describe something notable/salient from the movie.

[@heatherferreira4225]

Naah. I'm a director in Hollywood. I would have been "Let It Go", "I'm ready for my CU, Mr. DeMille", "Here's looking at you kid" and "Rosebud" all the way.

This perfectly illustrates what it's like for an older generation person to explain things they like to the baby generation, who wants them to only point out the superficial details. They also have a tendency to not listen as you can see with Jimmy jumping quickly to assume things. Plus this game is stupid..3 and 1 seconds to say a few words to describe classic movies? poor Marty lol
