Joe Pesci’s Ten Best Films

10 best Joe Pesci movies

Joe Pesci’s ten best films

ComingSoon.net is counting down our ten favorite films starring Joe Pesci, a one-of-a-kind icon of the 80s and 90s. Check out our choices in the gallery below!

Often seen filling bit parts and supporting roles throughout the filmographies of the 20th century’s greatest filmmakers, Joe Pesci is a recognizable face with an equally noticeable voice. From Shane Black’s series of action-comedies to Martin Scorsese’s many mob movies to a holiday classic from the early 90s, Pesci has immersed himself in film history simply by being himself—always tough, always volatile, he’s a thoroughly original performer.

Still, throughout the years, Joe Pesci has always seemed to gravitate toward the films of Martin Scorsese (although he was never confined to them, often breaking out to other roles on the side). As a result, his filmography is filled with all-time classics comparable to some of our time’s biggest A-listers. Let’s take a look at his greatest roles so far.

Cloak & Dagger Season 2 Episode 7 Recap

Cloak and Dagger Season 2 Episode 7 Recap

Cloak and Dagger Season 2 Episode 7 Recap

Tandy is trapped at the Viking Motel with the other abducted girls in Cloak and Dagger Season 2 Episode 7. Andre and Lia use a combination of lies, drugs, and despair to keep the girls from trying to leave the motel. Tandy tries to resist, but without hope she is unable to summon her daggers and fight back. Trying to run only reveals just how well the motel’s layout and Andre’s mind games work to keep the girls prisoner.

Johnson Family

Cloak and Dagger Season 2 Episode 7 Recap

Ty searches for Tandy, starting with Andre’s office. Andre catches Ty there and uses Ty’s feelings of despair to convince him to stop looking for Tandy. If Andre can convince Tandy that no one is looking for her and can convince Ty that she’s not worth looking for, then he can keep them apart.

In the record store, Mayhem sees Andre using the records to influence Ty and Tandy. When Andre is away, Mayhem slips in and changes the record. First, she shows Ty a vision of a bus full of little ballerinas. When Ty leaves the bus, Mayhem sends him a number of ambulances. Ty pieces together that Tandy was abducted by one of the ambulances and uses his powers to go after her.

Back at the Johnson house, Adina questions Connors about Billy’s death. She is torn between two forces. On the one hand, she wants justice for Billy. On the other, she needs to clear Ty’s name and keep him safe. Questioning Connors is the only way to determine his value to either, so she can decide what to do with him.

Becoming Loa

Andre draws the veve he sees on the record store door and uses Ty’s memories to seek out Auntie Fusilier. He tells her that he is seeking a way to get rid of his migraine pain. She reads him and says that he is on the path to godhood, and that his pain is a part of the process. If he can figure out the meanings of the symbols in the veve, then he will have the key to unlock that door. But, she offers another possibility. He could walk away. Based on what she sees when she enters the record store, she believes Andre does nothing but spread pain and misery. What kind of a god would he be?

Tandy

Tandy is drugged for attempting to run away from the motel. She is numb, physically and mentally. Lia dresses Tandy for business that night while Del applies Tandy’s makeup. Tandy continues to try and reason with Del that they should leave, but Del says that the lucky ones who leave get arrested. The unlucky ones get killed. Tandy reveals that the latest shipment of girls who failed to arrive weren’t killed, they were rescued by Tandy and Ty.

In the record store, Mayhem begins smashing records and changes the song. The result is Ty stealing an ambulance and going after Tandy. The girls at the motel feel the change as well. Del steals a smart phone and confirms what Tandy said, calling out Lia for lying. Del also learns that her mother hasn’t given up looking for her. She’s been posting flyers and in chat rooms. Del has hope and starts to fight back.

That hope is the spark that Tandy needs to summon her daggers. She tears through the motel from one direction, freeing the girls and fighting off their clients while Ty does the same from the other end of the motel. The two meet in the middle, glad to have found one another again. Ty, however, collapses, waves of darkness rolling off of him. He is unresponsive as Tandy calls his name.

New U.S. Senate Bill Proposed to Target Loot Boxes and Microtransactions

Loot boxes and microtransactions are once again headlines in the news. The reason is that Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) has announced a bill he’s introducing that would ban these practices in games played by minors. The bill is called The Protecting Children from Abusive Games Act. This comes months after the Federal Trade Commission promised it would investigate loot boxes after Senator Maggie Hassan (D-NH) wrote a letter talking about predatory microtransactions in games. Hawley has said:

Social media and video games prey on user addiction, siphoning our kids’ attention from the real world and extracting profits from fostering compulsive habits. No matter this business model’s advantages to the tech industry, one thing is clear: there is no excuse for exploiting children through such practices.

When a game is designed for kids, game developers shouldn’t be allowed to monetize addiction. And when kids play games designed for adults, they should be walled off from compulsive microtransactions. Game developers who knowingly exploit children should face legal consequences.

This conversation is nothing new. It’s been happening for a while and back in 2018, Belgium declared loot boxes were categorized as gambling, but because they failed to follow the laws in regards to gambling, were deemed illegal.

Meanwhile, the FTC has said it is preparing to hold a workshop on August 7, 2019 to discuss this topic. In addition, the video game lobbyist group, Entertainment Software Association, has released the following statement:

Numerous countries, including Ireland, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, determined that loot boxes do not constitute gambling. We look forward to sharing with the senator the tools and information the industry already provides that keeps the control of in-game spending in parents’ hands. Parents already have the ability to limit or prohibit in-game purchases with easy to use parental controls.

Personally, I hate these systems in video games, but what do you think about all this?

D&D Beyond Reveals Smaller Bundles

For one of my Dungeons & Dragons games, my DM has us using D&D Beyond. He has the “Legendary Bundle” and a Master Tier subscription that means I get access to everything as long as I’m in one of his campaigns.

While this has been nice, I also DM a game and my DM is not included, which means that campaign doesn’t get all the same tools which has led to me restricting my players a little bit. Yes, I could buy the “Legendary Bundle,” but it costs over $400. That’s a considerable amount of money and I never use premade adventures (yet), so I’d be buying a lot of books that I never use.

Well, I’m not the only one that thinks the “Legendary Bundle” has gotten to be too much. D&D Beyond has finally released two new smaller bundles, the “Sourcebook Bundle” and the “Adventures Bundle.”

It should be pretty easy to guess what is included in each of the bundles based on their names. Essentially, anything that D&D has labeled as an Adventure module will be in the “Adventures Bundle,” and everything else goes into the “Sourcebook Bundle.” Each of these bundles is currently less than $250, meaning they’re a lot more affordable and if you’re simply a player and never a DM, why would you want the adventures?

The one trade off is that if you purchase the “Legendary Bundle,” you unlock a 15% discount on all future materials that you buy through D&D Beyond. These smaller bundles only feature a 10% discount for the books that fit into the bundle you purchase.
