The Irishman

Remember the linen service that Whispers asks Frank Sheeran (Robert De Niro) to blow up because its cutting into his business? It’s called Cadillac Linen and its based “down in Delaware.” Those rat Delawarean bastards.

  • Hey Tim-

    The media can say what it wants (it does so anyway), but it does not decide- why not wait until the electorate declares the winner?

    Truman v Dewey

    Bush v Gore

    (and neither of those races were as compromised as this one)

    This might not age well for you.

    • If you have evidence of election fraud, please report it to the proper authorities immediately. This is a movie website.

  • I am a Delawarean, was always cool to see/hear a mention in a film or a song ("Award Tour" by Tribe Called Quest & "Rockin' It" by Brand Nubian) when I was younger. But as a working independent actor/producer in the Mid Atlantic for more than a decade,sadly Delaware has offered little to no hopes in building any foundation for an industry, which in turn makes casual mentions such as those almost more like jabs or even insults! Another film that was partially set in Delaware fictionally was "Seeking A Friend for the End of the World" with Steve Carell. A couple of films that WERE made here are "Dead Poets Society" with Robin Williams and "Mayor Cupcake" with Lea Thompson, and a indie featured I produced with director Joseph Johnson, "Love and Deceit" set to hit streaming platforms in early 2021. Got a solid list of celebrities that are from here; Aubrey Plaza, Ryan Phillippe, Sean Patrick Harris, Doug Hutchinson, Elisabeth Shue, Valerie Bertinelli, Judge Rienhold, and OSCAR winning director Luke Matheny. There is a very rich theater culture hear with many companies ranging from professional to community, consistently putting on shows with deep pools of actors of various ages, genders, and ethnicity to call upon. So one would think that the first state would definitely be pushing to be utilized within the entertainment industry, but oh not so. However when Amazon, Wal-Mart, and Purdue come around wanting land to build a new plant, oh sure, go right ahead!!! You want to make it in showbiz, GET OUT OF DELAWARE, LOL!

  • That "high school girl" in "Hiding Out" is the great-in-everything Annabeth Gish, even before her breakout role in "Mystic Pizza" (overshadowed a little by Julia Roberts).

    The Edwyn Collins song in "Empire Records" is the best Bowie song he never did.

    And I still can't see what the other comments have been on this article... no matter what browser I use.
