Is this the best you can do?
First off, it's The Onion. It's satire. Would your reaction have been as crybaby-ish and prejudiced if it came from, say, Mad Magazine?
Secondly, I'm not even going to get into defending Scorsese's body of work nor his achievements in the motion picture arts. I'm going to talk slow and use small words so you can follow along, Mr Comic Book Man.

I've left out exactly five movies of Scorsese's oeuvre…oops…filmography. The unwashed masses, you included, tend to remember only those. I'll admit De Niro's presence definitely "colors" a film regardless of his role and I'd go as far as to accuse De Niro more than what with you charge Scorsese. So, Mr. "the world is full of great graphic novels" -- which is how fully-grown, emotionally-stunted adults call (and justify) comic books -- go jump in the East River.
is being able to smell you through my phone part of a bit or do you actually talk like this
Yes, I do actually talk like this. The odor from your phone is most likely your accumulated breath, spittle and other grime. Consider 1) wiping down your phone (at least) daily with a disinfectant wipe, 2) washing your hands occasionally and 3) using a toothbrush and toothpaste more often.
sometimes i worry about how i come across to other people
then i see someone responding like this because someone else doesnt care enough about watching the correct pictures on a screen, and i actually feel pretty good about myself and the amount of self awareness i do manage
Judging by your original post, you say you worry but ultimately don't give a damn. The important thing to you is to insert themselves into conversations that you were not part of and then seeing your own words on your cellphone. Congratulations.
there is nothing worse than inserting yourself into conversations you werent a part of with little regard, if any, for whether youre being a cunt over meaningless bullshit that doesnt remotely warrant it
on an entirely unrelated note, good luck with your business, expertly dodging self awareness for the rest of your life is going to be a toughie
And there we have it, folks. Thank you, Mr Ethics. I'll certainly take your warm advice to heart.
