Breaking out of the stylistic confines of his last couple of films, Scorsese hit the ground running
with a go - for - broke epic that ran for three breathlessly - paced hours, was horrifying and hilarious in equal measure (an extended sequence involving some old
quaaludes, luncheon meat, a looming legal catastrophe and an old «Popeye» cartoon was a set - piece for the ages), was jam - packed
with great performances across the board and which offered viewers the pleasure of seeing a top director working at the peak of his powers.
After Cosby confessed to purchasing
quaaludes with the intention to drug women for sex, the museum has decided to post the disclaimer, which, Smithsonian spokeswoman Linda St. Thomas explained, will state that the museum does not condone Cosby's behavior.
