If you know what I'm saying.
Would have enjoyed this a lot more @ 2 hours instead of 3 - at a certain point I just got tired of being hit with repetitive drug debauchery and the office salesmanship. If he'd gotten deeper inside ratholes and juking the Steve Madden IPO and stuff, or Leo's friendship with Jonah Hill, it would have been closer to worth the extra time.

"Before long, he, too, has cocaine and hookers — at one point sucking the former from the ass of the latter. "
p. sure Leo was blowing the former into the ass of the latter, not sucking it from.

well I never thought there'd be a Scorsese film where Bo Dietl gave the best performance, but here we are...
A sprightly opening 30-40 minutes (his best work in 16 years) that makes all the obvious points fairly well, followed by numbing repetition -- call it a David O Russell hommage.

actually my definition of comedy this minute rests upon whether clemenza meant to type "racial epitaph"
(I don't think that was a joke in the film...?)

― Simon H., Wednesday, 1 January 2014 01:51 (ten years ago) link
I get that point... it just wasn't a good choice. There's a point of diminishing returns on "this guy does sooooooo many quaaludes" and that point came ~90 minutes in, except for Leo doing the worm to get to his Lambo. At that point it wasn't revealing anything about his character or the Stratton world, it was just watching a guy with pancake makeup on do lots of blow off perfect boobs.
in addition to above, it was kind of weird how divorced it seemed from any outside world and never sought to comment on Wall Street or brokers or penny stocks, etc. - the closest was Leo mentioning CDOs and Internet stocks, but the timeline would have put him circa 1993 for the latter.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Wednesday, 1 January 2014 01:52 (ten years ago) link
Most disappointing: shot where the camera seems to freeze frame panning over the Stratton trading floor and an intro drops in like we're going to get some awesome hard soul but then the song itself was completely forgettable.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Wednesday, 1 January 2014 01:54 (ten years ago) link
Probably the only thing worse than thinking this movie was misguided in being repetitive & intemperate is thinking that this movie was gonna reveal some hard truth about how con artists sleazeball really made their money when all you really needed to know is that these were fast talking guys from Queens calling up people in Alabama to sell them the Brooklyn Bridge
― 乒乓, Wednesday, 1 January 2014 02:03 (ten years ago) link
yeah I get that "point" too and I don't pay $8 (matinee) for cock and ball torture.
(Leo's DIRTY BIRDIE line as the hot wax is dripping on him was prob the last time I laughed at anything, mostly McConaughey before that)
― eclectic husbandry (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 1 January 2014 02:07 (ten years ago) link
I definitely got the point of the film's excessive excessiveness (both as it applied to the story, and at the second level of Scorsese trying to outdo himself), but that didn't make it any less numbing to sit through.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 1 January 2014 02:08 (ten years ago) link
fast talking guys from Queens calling up people in Alabama to sell them the Brooklyn Bridge is not worth 180 minutes, QED.
Jonah Hill was basically a squashed Adam Sandler
― eclectic husbandry (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 1 January 2014 02:10 (ten years ago) link
I didn't ask for hard truths - the inside part of what was going on and how it related to the outside world can be funny! Definitely funnier than the 400th shot of Leo popping a 'lude.

point is if the people making the movie actually had any insight into the people environment or culture they were depicting then you would learn something how they made their money even if it wasnt explicitly taught, the fact that the filmmakers thought "fast talking guy from queens" was a sufficient identity for a character is why even though it has many masterful aspects it is overall not really that great
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 1 January 2014 02:18 (ten years ago) link
There isn't any insight to be had. It really was that easy to make money in the early 90s

its a movie that villainizes its characters for ignoring the humanity of others while ignoring the humanity of its characters, i know this is just a huge opening for someone to be all dont you see thats the whole point meta commentary etc but no its just bad writing
I've thought about this film a lot today
