It used to run on the CBS late movie against Johnny Carson. Also where I first saw "Mean Streets."

This is one of my favorite Cassavetes ever! I think people like Kael are mistaking a film *about* offensive, macho, rambling characters for a macho, offensive, rambling movie. Cassavetes doesn't admire these guys (nor does he condemn them). He loves them the way we love our parents and old friends, even though they sometimes cheat and drink and act like jerks. He loves them as flawed human beings

I'll admit that the film isn't as great once the three men go to London, but that's a very minor quibble (i.e. going from amazing to very good). Also, Cassavetes really shouldn't be compared, even in passing, to Judd friggin' Apatow. So many things crazy with that…
