Wolf on Wall Street had lots of tits.

Hate to say it, but I thought it was very dull. Yea, the boobs were great and the women were hot...that doesn't make it a compelling story in and of itself.

I don't know what happened to Thelma Schoonmaker. She's been Scorsese's editor since the glory days. They needed to leave about half of this movie on the cutting floor. Scorsese's an all timer obviously but this is not something I would watch again and again like Goodfellas, Casino, Raging Bull, etc.

Saw American Hustle yesterday. I thought it was really great...phenomenal cast.

One of the most entertaining films I've seen in quite a while. Christian Bale is great as always. Deniro has a small part and friggin kills it like he did in the old days.
I thought it was excellent. Interesting story and impressive performances all around. Bale absolutely killed it.

Just caught Being Flynn on HBO. Not a bad flick, DeNiro was pretty good in it.

Bullshit. He could be a villain of some sort with his creepy face, but he's no leading man and definitely not for this kind of franchise.

I agree that Wolf was about 30 minutes too long, I enjoyed it and preferred it to American Hustle. DiCaprio and Jonah Hill were both excellent. American Hustle was ok, good performances, but I thought the payoff was rather meh. Not worthy of the hype it has been receiving.

I could see it. He actually does have a passing resemblance to Mark Hamill.

Fassbender and Weaving are up for Star Wars roles too...so now Deuce has some man meat to satisfy him.

Watching Empire Of The Sun with Christian Bale as a child makes me really feel fucking old.

One might consider him Wales 3rd best actor now, after Hopkins and Burton; though Sheen might shade him for some folk.

Though this is still fun every time you listen to it...
