'Goodfellas', the 1990 Martin Scorsese-directed mob crime/thriller is a classic. It was nominated for a Best Picture Oscar and supporting actor Joe Pesci won for his role as Tommy DeVito.
There was a time when we appreciated such quality filmmaking and the stories those movies told.
Now? Well, we get disclaimers before the film, lest someone be offended by it:

No, there has not.
It’s based on a non fiction book, Wiseguy.

What the f**k are these Marxists doing?
Reality is offensive, apparently.
Stereotypes? The story was based on a real person.

The Left never lets facts get in the way.
"This film includes language and/or cultural stereotypes that are inconsistent with the far left's standards that are being pushed on to everyone. This may offend some viewers that have been indoctrinated, please don't try to cancel us."

I fixed it.
Much better.
Damn, I wonder what kind of warning Blazing Saddles has

Thanks for reminding this writer to get a hard copy of that movie before the Left deletes it.
Isn’t there like one black guy in the whole movie? Or do they mean for Italians
— HowlingMutant (@Howlingmutant0) November 25, 2024
They mean the Italians. Who were based on real people.
I'm offended by this notice. It assumes I'm a weak-minded, infantile idiot with absolutely no education. https://t.co/4HAucRtxW9

The Left assumes everyone is as hypersensitive, reactionary, and easily-offended as they are.
They give a trigger warning for “Goodfellas”!
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 25, 2024
Seriously … 🤦♂️ https://t.co/HDVEQ2g9Is
Seriously.
I’m of Italian decent and this warning is more offensive than anything in the movie it claims is offensive to people like me. Please remove and enjoy one of the greatest movies ever made. https://t.co/zGBILykFYp
— Dave ‘Jones’ Kaestle (@BleacherJones) November 27, 2024
It really is offensive.
Mine too. For the love of God, stop it. https://t.co/6xRdgKbgRE

Please, make it stop.
Goodfellas, the true story of Henry Hill, is too Italian apparently https://t.co/gvQQeVhDsw

Heh.
I don’t know a single Italian who gives a F https://t.co/MwtWDKqdSU

Not a single one.
This is why you have to own physical media. They can’t f**k with the files of something you physically own. https://t.co/C2FQhiDIlu

THIS.
A true story of someone being in the mafia that shows real people who were really in the mafia needs a trigger warning because of stereotypes.
— Daddy Warpig (@DaddyWarpig) November 26, 2024
That’s like having a trigger warning on a war movie about a soldier, because of a cultural stereotype that soldiers shoot people in war. https://t.co/82Y6cug9X8
Don't give them ideas or they'll go after 'Saving Private Ryan' next.
