yeah i loved the departed too, i dont think it aged poorly at all i think leo is great and works well as a main but his personality is very different than de niro he has been cast as characters that are more charming and convincing than they are bossy and cunning if that makes any sense

Dr. Gojo Shioji posted:I'd like to know what Scorsese's attraction is to Leonardo DiCaprio as a leading man. He obviously has a history of forming partnerships with actors and that worked out phenomenally with Robert De Niro, but his work with DiCaprio lead to mostly forgettable work like Gangs of New York, The Aviator, and Shutter Island. The Wolf of Wall Street is the only really great product from that pairing, and The Departed has aged poorly enough to be considered just decent. What gives, Martin? Is Leo just that much fun to be around or what? The funny thing is he apparently couldn't get Leo to do Boardwalk Empire so he cast a Leo lookalike.

Is Leo just that much fun to be around or what? Leo is pretty good when acting in Scorcese films. Agreed that he doesn't match Scorcese era De Niro though. Maybe Scorsese has some sort of superstition or disabling compulsion to only employ leading men with last names that begin with a "De" sounding prefix. It's the name of the future. The name of the future. The name of the future. The name of the future.

I liked Leo the most in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape". Also, does anyone remember the 90's teen flick "Romeo and Juliet"?

Given what we now know about Howard Hughes, some aspects of his plane designs have probably taken pissjar storage into account.

Probably his best. I’ll check it out, but I’m not expecting much. I watched his last movie for some reason and wrote the dude off entirely.
