RIP 9-17-1943 - 11-26-1999
So, I am really perplexed as to why no one has brought to light that Robert De Niro died in 1999. I remember it so clearly. It was big news at the time, but suddenly it was never brough up again, and every bit of information about his untimely demise was wiped out of existence.
For instance, I remember Jody Foster on the news lamenting the fact that the great Robert De Niro had passed on, and how she would always remember that he was the one who taught her the art of improvisation while they were filming "Taxi" together. That interview was all over the nightly news stations, but now there isn't ever a trace of it to be found anywhere.
I even remember how devastated Ben Stiller was, as the two were set to make a serious movie together about the Gotti crime family (This movie was put on hold and eventually was given to John Travolta) It was sad news for Ben as it would have been his first foray into serious films. I remember him giving and interview on E! and he said that instead he was going to be making a movie with Robert's older brother Richard. Ben said that it would be tough because they looked so much a like, but it would be good for Richard as he was never able to escape from the shadow of his younger brother.
Now, here is where things get very weird. Suddenly all of the talk of the death of Robert ended, and it appears that his older brother assumed his identity, and he has been passing himself off as Robert for the past 21 years. Let that sink in for a bit... 21 years this coverup has been going on! Now, you may be thinking this is a joke, but I assure you that it is not!
Think about it. The man who made Casino, Goodfellas, The Godfather 2, The Deer Hunter, Taxi Driver, and countless other classics now makes movies like, Meet the Fockers, What just Happened, and Little Fockers. Hell, this guy turned down a lead role in The Departed so he could film his own movie (which bombed). This guy who has been parading around as Robert De Niro kind of looks like him, but he has none of Roberts timing, sincerity, acting chops or any kind of clue what separates a good movie from a bad movie. He just doesn't know. It's the only logical reason as to why Robert went from being one of the best most accomplished successful actors to the shell of a thing he is now.
I know that some of you younger people may think that I am lying, but I assure you that I am not. Just look for yourself. Look not only at the body of work that Robert produced, and then look at the body of work that Richard produced. I'm telling you, the proof is out there even if it has been covered up by the Hollywood establishment. Surely there has to be someone else out there that remembers all of this. I can't be the only one?!
