I'm joking, but you have to admit he's made some bad films recently and become a parody of himself.
I don't think you are off-base at all. De Niro has made, by my count, 53 films this century. How many memorable performances are in there? Maybe three for the century. How many could even a De Niro fan name without having to look them up?

I remember right around the time De Niro made that Analyze This sequel and Godsend (20 years ago), I thought "uh-oh, this is a bad turn." And since then it's been about 20 years of just embarrassing crap and he seems unwilling to give a goshdarn about artistic integrity because financing his one-percenter lifestyle matters more. Oh well.

I always loved it when Don Rickles roasted him about being a stuck-up hillbilly. Prescient.

Pacino? Nicholson? Neeson?

Its pretty common.

For some reason, they devolve into caricatures of themselves.

How many Taken roles in a row did he do?

Who becomes an action star in the middle age of their career?

Neeson said a few years ago he was retiring from action movies. I guess he just couldn't get off that gravy train.

So making shitty movies this century makes him the worst actor of all-time. Some sound logic there.

No different than a lot of actors his age and he's still had memorable performances recently. But yeah, he's obviously taken a lot of easy paychecks too.

No one actually said this.



He really hasn't.
You said it jokingly but Kihei said you're not off base at all so he kind of did.

His performances in The Irishman and Killers of the Flower Moon were memorable as was his performance as Bernie Madoff in The Wizard of Lies.
