Questions of accuracy aside, that ispretty funny.
And it will certainly ring a bell for anyone who's seen the likes of Casino, Goodfellas, or — most recently — The Irishman, too.

On the one hand, Scorsese has undoubtedly had a long and varied career, and nobody could look at the likes of Shutter Islandand think it matches the description in that first tweet.
