Most of the time, no one knows the difference. I worked on a TV show (Graceland) set in Los Angeles that was filmed in Florida. Another show (Dexter) was set in Florida, but filmed in Los Angeles.
]]>Agree. True story: In 1995 I took my wife, stepson, mother, and mother-in-law to see the original “Casino” first-run, thinking it would be a good movie about Las Vegas. Unfortunately, I was too big to hide under the seat. It took a while to live that one down. Maybe this one will be better; but I can wait to find out.

Agree. Agree big time. People seem to prefer to admire killers and thugs than the good guys. These are the things that should be “canceled”
]]>Agree, glamorizing violence is a pitfall of mob movies. Most show the gangsters getting their just rewards. In the case of Spilotro, it didn’t end well.
]]>I know mob movie fans will hate me, but I never understood the attraction. Mob movies are about actual human evil. How is that entertaining? It’s like cheering on cowboys and cavalry killing “Indians” or being a fan of famous serial killers. I just introduced my mother to Las Vegas Vacation, which she enjoyed, because I like anything to do with Las Vegas…almost anything.
