still looks like only the big critics groups see it before deadline
Nobody's mentioned who wrote the script, which is kinda important, maybe? Terence Winter, a writer-producer on Boardwalk Empire and The Sopranos, and writer of the 50 Cent vehicle Get Rich or Die Tryin' (which I don't remember existing, and Jim Sheridan directed it).

Saw that one on VH1. This one looks a little more Starz.

It's ominous that someone said "Let's make Jonah Hill look grotesque with prosthetics."

Oh boy! Three hours long and Jonah Hill wearing SNL-level makeup? Sold!

martin scorsese has done so many great things for film culture, so for his sake I hope this makes a gazillion dollars
looks awful though. i suppose i could welcome a return to this kind of scorsese film after the soporific hugo but, nah.

Three hours? More like the bear of box office.

im not gonna sweat 3 hours if its marty. tbh lately im feeling like i respect any major release that hits that mark, you almost never see it anymore

this film is amazingly good imo

a super swift 3 hrs, totally debauched as per the advance word, hilarious, great performances. probably dicaprio's best performance too.
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Thursday, 5 December 2013 07:14 (ten years ago) link
certainly dicap's best performance in a Scorsese movie, though that's not partic surprising. He just cuts totally loose, all of his other marty roles have been mind of constricted in some way.
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Thursday, 5 December 2013 07:18 (ten years ago) link
better than anything scorsese's done in the 21st century.
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Thursday, 5 December 2013 07:20 (ten years ago) link
I really hope that's true, though I do actually (sorry!) like Hugo.
― Simon H., Thursday, 5 December 2013 07:41 (ten years ago) link
"better than anything scorsese's done in the 21st century" is not high praise IMO, but i'll take your word for it

initial "reviews" says it's his best film since GoodFellashttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0993846/board/nest/222806576?p=1
― nostormo, Thursday, 5 December 2013 09:05 (ten years ago) link
It's his best movie since "Blood on the Tracks."
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 5 December 2013 14:54 (ten years ago) link
I would have to see it again to get a conformation of how it good it actually is but "best since goodfellas" may be otm
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Thursday, 5 December 2013 16:46 (ten years ago) link
Seeing a bunch of excitement on Letterboxd, too. Expectations adjusted.
― Alfre, Lord Woodard (Eric H.), Thursday, 5 December 2013 16:56 (ten years ago) link
(Bearing in mind that there are about 4 Scorsese movies post-Goodfellas that I like better than Goodfellas.)
― Alfre, Lord Woodard (Eric H.), Thursday, 5 December 2013 16:57 (ten years ago) link
it's better than The Age of Innocence?

It's better than Cape Fear?

more debauched than Kundun
you'd think theyd rush to show it to more ppl given poll deadlines and the NYFCC whiff.
any major release that hits that mark
Any this fall besides All Is Lost?
― eclectic husbandry (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 5 December 2013 17:16 (ten years ago) link
so pumped for this. scorsese's most at home with the unpleasant and inarticulate.

oh I see, you're a length man.

i wanted to add that pretty much every performance in this is impressive. dicaprio is incredible as i mentioned, mcconaughey has just a couple of scenes but sets the tone for the whole film, hill is surprisingly good (surprising bc i'd only seen him in some of his comic roles and i thought he was fine if nothing special, not that this isn't a comic role bc it really is). i didn't know who margot robbie was before i saw this but "she's a STAH!" imo. also liked shea wigham's small role as dicaprio's yacht captain.
probably gonna get lost in the discussion, but jon bernthal is A++.
such a bizarre movie. which is in its favor.
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Thursday, 5 December 2013 20:16 (ten years ago) link

He was really good in the Great Gatsby
Sounds like he's even better in this
Will see
― 乒乓, Thursday, 5 December 2013 21:08 (ten years ago) link
imo his recent (and all of his scorsese) roles have been very serious minded. i love 'the departed' but damon, wahlberg, baldwin, winstone & nicholson have the fun roles while he's the pill-popping stressed out drama center. he's good in the aviator but he's ruled by disorder demons. in GONY he's supposed to be neeson's son but he never works up anything resembling his compelling charisma, and in shutter island (which is p fun i think) he's just playing a bit of a blank slate crazypants detective. he's cutting loose here and i get the sense he was having a blast while making the film. i mean this whole movie must have been amazing to film.
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Thursday, 5 December 2013 21:10 (ten years ago) link
at this point eagerly expecting a new scorsese movie is kind of like getting really excited over a new springsteen album. i mean, it might be better than the last one, or even the last two, but...
― flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Friday, 6 December 2013 02:15 (ten years ago) link
He confided that during the filming of two pics over the last 10 years he wanted to abandon the projects, but refrained from naming them....
Scorsese recalled how they had laughed when the New York Times wrote an article about “Raging Bull,” entitled “What’s happened to language in the cinema?”, but suggested that the language in his latest pic, “The Wolf of Wall Street” is far worse – “They’re making money, you know.”

I hated the movie, but "Django Unchained" certainly showed Leo "cutting loose."
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 8 December 2013 20:04 (ten years ago) link
yeah I guess it would have. I never saw it for some reason, probably should at some point.

re: the two he'd wanted to abandon, I'd be shocked if one of them wasn't Shutter Island.

You're probably right. That's probably my favorite of his since Y2K.
― Alfre, Lord Woodard (Eric H.), Sunday, 8 December 2013 21:46 (ten years ago) link

at this point you can promote Silence as everyone's favorite grandpa fulfilling his bucket list

Silence the book is p rad, highly doubtful a Scorsese movie would be any good but hey
(and re: the 2 movies: Shutter Island and Gangs of New York, it's gotta be)
