Ask Pesci questions about his area of expertise. The silver screen. The pictures. The talkies.

I like Bobby D, Danny Glover, and Marisa Tomei the most.
Favorite flick since 2000? That's a tough one, but I'd have to say it is a tie between Cache, Broken Flowers, No Country For Old Men, and There Will Be Blood.
Because Tom Hanks is a bitch and Zemeckis is a show boating faggot.

Michael Bay is the greatest director ever, do you agree???

Trick question, Michael Bay is not a director, therefore he cannot be great at it. What he does is suck executive producers dicks until they give him enough cash to let him blow things up and some people happen to record it in action.

Are you happy/sad/indifferent about tv surpassing movies as a visual storytelling medium? What is the significance of the chair in all great scenes?

It has not surpassed movies as a visual storytelling medium. Not only is art hardly found in television, it is far less profitable than cinema. We have the highest grossing film of all time just released in 2009. Also, television really does not care about visuals, it cares about acting and plot. That is all.
The chair is not the same metaphor in every scene, and it usually is used for sitting. What that indicates is that a character is usually at his/her least threatening state of being. When they get up is when you should worry.

I am not underestimating the chair in the slightest. I'm talking about on average. If a good filmmaker is using the chair as a symbol then it could be great, but sadly there are too many literal directors out there that it is used for sitting only.

Perhaps you are correct. If you make a film make sure there's a chair scene.

I'll homage the chair scene in Miller's Crossing, one of the many masterpieces from the Coen Bros.

What is your fav Buster Keaton scene, stunt, short and feature?

I don't have just one favorite scene, but I love the jailhouse scene in Steamboat Bill, Jr. I laugh my ass off every single time I see that scene. I love all of his stunts too, but from that same movie, I will always remember the house toppling over on him, with the open window frame falling directly through him to leave him unharmed. Love that one, but he has so many greats. I also love Sherlock Jr. as my favorite short film of his, it is an absolute masterpiece. Visionary stunts and comically hilarious. As for feature, probably The General.

I prefer chaplin's features but keaton's shorts. How gay of you to judge them on their looks and fashion sense instead of the quality of their films.

why dident you make a movie for 12 years? (between 1998 - 2010 only had a cameo in the good shepherd 2006, finally made loveranch last year)
and what is your reason for acting again after such a long gap?
