it feels almost like he actually wanted to make the movie about the jared leto character and his love of t rex cuz all those scenes feel like they're in a trailer for another film entirely

also treating AZT as like, the bad guy, was a bit dubious
I could introduce you to some AIDS activists from the '80s who would verify that was part of the problem.

it was extremely oversimplified tho no?

well, like everything in a commercial AIDS movie

“Most of my preparation entailed eating as much food as I could! I received a note after I won the role that Martin Scorsese wanted me to gain twenty pounds as the character is described as “Oddjob from the James Bond movies.” Chester Ming is a bit of an enforcer for Leo’s character so it was important for him to have some real heft. I gained the twenty pounds, twenty five actually, but it wasn’t enough so, in the end, they had a fat suit made for me.”

Jonah Hill didn't just prank Best Buy. From that bit in the New Yorker, what makes it hilarious is he supposedly called this one Best Buy in Hawaii again and again and basically talked to the customer service department at length as he refined his speech (it was hard to talk with the fake teeth) and they were so patient and pro they put up with him.

i love how everyone is just dancing like an idiot for like 75% of this movie
the frame is always so full of movement
the compositions are way more interesting than much-lauded stuff like wes anderson's characters standing in the center of the screen staring at the audience
― socki (s1ocki), Friday, 7 March 2014 17:26 (ten years ago) link
the frame is always so empty of meaning.
A friend of mine wrote on FB the other day that DiCaprio "looks like the fat kid in grade school whose dad had a lot of money."

I could probably make a list of my favourite dancing-like-an-idiot scenes. This would be number one:

For sure, my eyes were never left untickled by the movie.

is this the kind of movie that is the same if you randomly edit all the scenes out of order?

watching this in the cinema was torture, but recently I was in the same room as people watching it and I kept putting my book down to rewatch scenes that I remembered as being really good

I was talking about it with a couple of coworkers and I was like 'omg you guys that scene at the party where Jonah Hill was jerking off...' and I started laughing thinking about it and one of them said 'oh that was AWFUL I felt so bad just having to watch that, it was so sad and awful! HIS WIFE was there!!!" and I was still laughing "YES! EXACTLY!! omg so hilarious' and then I realized I was the only one laughing and it got kinda awkward
that is my review of this movie

I've had a few people complain they don't have the time to watch this movie. They do, however, seem to find the time to tweet about game of thrones every week.
