Only kidding. This is understandable. I agree with Mick, it's an interesting and fast-pace technique of film-making. Scorsese is brilliant as always. But, it does require somewhat of a second viewing to really get inside the characters heads, and further appriciate the film. So I reccomend going back to it, viewing a second, maybe third time, and going from there.

If you end up enjoying it, then move on to Casino. It is very similar, and a great film at that. (Although Goodfellas beat it to the point, originality-wise, which seemed to gross Goodfellas a larger fanbase a popularity, and fairly so.)

"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."
