Patience's is NOT my strong suit and I'm usually the type that needs instant gratification but I'm doing my best to wait until the 27th so I can view this in the comfort of my own home without the distraction of people's chatter, rustling of candy wrappers, rings/white lights from cell phones, etc etc

I like seeing most movies at home, but this is one I want to see on a bigger screen because I think this is their swan song to the gangster genre (their being Scorsese, DeNiro, Pesci, and Pacino). Not sure I’m gonna like this new technique of digitally altering their looks/age, but reviewers say it’s worth watching whether or not you like that technology.
I don’t think there’ll be much chatter from people who intentionally pay to see a 3+ hour movie, but you never know.
Pesci is supposed to be exceptionally good—subtle but powerful.
Wherever I see it, I think I’m in for a treat.
