Best to leave Judy Winslow out of the conversation here.

best thing about the mcconaghey speech is that it's everyone's dream (well, my dream at least) to have a boss say that to you
― flopson, Thursday, 16 January 2014 23:22 (ten years ago) link
my boss likes good scotch; I drink the martinis.
― Bryan Fairy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 16 January 2014 23:23 (ten years ago) link
mcconaghey was fun but his speech was a lil too on the nose imho
― lag∞n, Thursday, 16 January 2014 23:24 (ten years ago) link
like "we dont make anything"
McConaghey in this movie slotted in perfectly right after Roger Van Zant, Patrick Bateman

otn would be good alternative for when u wanna otm someone but also throw a lil shade in the mix

MM speech was cool with me in it's "on the nose-ness" because it seemed like his clear-eyed no bs approach to exactly how it all works is what made him "good" at it. no surprise that belfort takes him quite literally and to a certain kind of logical conclusion.
― ryan, Friday, 17 January 2014 00:45 (ten years ago) link
I don't think the scene would have benefited by MM being less on the nose
― da croupier, Friday, 17 January 2014 00:53 (ten years ago) link
It was pretty up-the-nose
― 龜, Friday, 17 January 2014 00:55 (ten years ago) link
utn
― ryan, Friday, 17 January 2014 00:57 (ten years ago) link
I don't remember what they were exactly but there were a few lines in the movie that belfort copied directly from that speech.
― ryan, Friday, 17 January 2014 00:59 (ten years ago) link
other than the chest thumping of course!
We've all read/heard that the chest thumping song was MMc's acting warmup exercise, right? Now it belongs to the ages.

This was the closest I've ever come to walking out of a movie. Shouty performances, tone deaf dialogue.

Must have pained Robertson to share that credit.

Just want to say it again, this movie ruled ass

The striking moment for me was the lady cutting her hair. That was short but well done. The scene in which Belfort gives hommage to Kimmie (or was it Kim) during his speech is also good cinema.

I just felt bludgeoned by this film after the first 40 minutes. I can understand it appealing to younger ppl who have grown up with bludgeony stuff.
― eclectic husbandry (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 18 January 2014 02:47 (ten years ago) link
Can see why Leo and Marty wanted to make this one - def. a film about insiderdom and outsiderdom, abt ppl's burning need to be admitted to the inner circle of wealth, fame, power, and the way such desires reinforce/feed into that particular American belief that anybody, regardless of class or circumstance, can write their own ticket to 'the top' (and write it with a special deluxe pen, too). The two smashed car narratives - pristine and damaged - was a beautifully apt way of illustrating how these guys were blind to the consequences of their actions.

The whole movie really is structured like a long drug binge. It's fun for a long time, but after a while it becomes less fun and more rote, and then the last third of it is a long comedown.
Totally bemused that anyone could think it's not moralistic. Key scene for me was the crawling on the floor bit, where these guys who have made millions of dollars acting like screaming children are reduced to preverbal, wriggling worms who can't even swallow solid food. Short of putting having a silent-film intertitle saying "GREED," I don't know what Scorsese could have done to make the point more clearly. Except I guess to not make it funny. But I liked that it was funny.

I detested most of this while watching it, but it's grown in my estimation since. Need to see it again.
― Beatrix Kiddo (Raymond Cummings), Tuesday, 21 January 2014 04:49 (ten years ago) link
i watched part of it again
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 21 January 2014 05:36 (ten years ago) link
I didn't find much of it funny, I never need to see it again.

The laboured slapstick in this was met with complete silence by my audience.

Lots of laughing in the theater where I saw it last night. (And at the stuff that was supposed to be funny, too.)
― something of an astrological coup (tipsy mothra), Tuesday, 21 January 2014 21:00 (ten years ago) link
If it had been 90 minutes long I probably would have thought that this film was okay, if a bit shrill and heavy-handed. After 3 hours though I crawled away from it like Leo from the Country Club.

Wow, anyone else see Jonah Hill's claim/confession that he was so eager to work with Scorsese that he agreed to be paid $60,000 for his 7-months of work on this?
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 23 January 2014 02:26 (ten years ago) link
my audience was in stitches. stitches!
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Thursday, 23 January 2014 02:29 (ten years ago) link
Jonah Hill paid $60,000 to advertise to the world that he has a pretty big schlong
Seems like a good deal
