How cool. Four of my heroes in one place. But what’s with mini Scorsese? I knew he was small, but this is ridiculous. The photo has not been doctored at all. This has to be some strange optical illusion. That or he’s an Italian American hobbit.

Oh well, hobbit or not, Marty has his Oscar. Although I’m thinking he should have gotten one for Goodfellas, one for Taxi Driver, one for Raging Bull and one for Casino. Even though I very much liked The Departed, those were better films, especially Goodfellas.
