Shutter Island (new Scorsese, w/DiCaprio, Ruffalo, etc)

http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/shutterisland/

looks completely batshit, possibly not very good, but possibly entertaining despite this

yeah the trailer makes it seem kind of terrible tbh

Looks like In Dreams Part II kind of.

This might be the seamy potboiler Mystic River should've been.

Oh wait, Scorsese's directing? Never mind.

just do the departed II, casino II, etc imo.

Thought-provoking New York bloodsport. Unless I'm confusing it with Schindler's List...

gotta admit im basically psyched for this

you're confusing it with something by abel ferrara im guessing

Ms. 45 is so real.

looks enjoyably silly. I guess he liked Zodiac.

also: Max Von Sydow is still alive?!

The book is awesome for a twisty-turny mystery. But the trailer has me a little dismayed, since it's showing an awful lot of spoilers. I'm excited for this though.

at the end do they realize it actually means "shut her island"

i'll wait for Silence

gotta admit im basically psyched for this

WHY?

just cuz Leo + Marty has sucked every time?

i liked the departed.

but apart from that, it looks like it could be a supremely entertaining carcrash.

this looks kinda crappy to me

i liked the departed a lot but hated the other two marty/leo collabs

Is Leo actually a delusional/schizophrenic/MPD (pick one) patient and just imagining that he's a federal marshal sent to solve a mystery?

(ie feels more Identity II than In Dreams II)

trailer seems to give away a lot, and i don't know anything about the source material

the setup seems very 'wicker man'-ish, no?

good to see the island from King Kong getting work

^^ Hahah! This looks so-so. Hate Leo's accent - dude still looks/sounds like he's 15.

maybe. maybe not. maybe fuck yourself.

bronson comin' heavy

This was one of the worst books I've read in the recent past btw.

Really can't see how this will be anything other than ridiculous unless they totally change the ending.

it turns out that is was all dream, right?

lol xpost

wow,the trailer looks like it's gonna be scorsese most embarrassing movei ever.
i hope i'm wrong,but it really looks like an average stupid horror movie,
what happend mr. scorsese?!

He started sucking oh about twenty years ago (with a couple of exceptions)?

if he started 20 years ago
this looks like the end.

this movie will be awesome to watch while i am drunk

what the fuck?

yeah, it all went downhill after the last temptation of christ: goodfellas, casino, the departed... what a disaster for scorsese.

i will stan for 4 films he has made since goodfellas, mildly rep for 3 others

i prefer the second half of his career tbqh.

raging bull was the last truely great movie he made imo.
he did some great films since - yes,but he didnt topped the bull.

and when he was good,it was mostly felt like a remake of a greater,older scorsese movie.

horseshit!

yeah that's a ridiculous criticism of any director who has a certain milieu he or she works in tbh

think he's got more... fluent. but i think 'raging bull' is an arty bore so.

this looks pretty dumb

ruffalo owns tho

ruffalowns

Thought Goodfellas was '89, but post that there is a lot of crap certainly more than enough to make me doubt his next movie will be a good one. And Departed's a garbage remake, only marginally better than his awful version of Cape Fear.

raging bull is a movie i really dig but i don't feel like it did as much for me as it should have.

the departed is better than infernal affairs

Hah you made a funny!

yeah, no, it's pretty much indisputable that the departed is superior to infernal affairs - AiSF disagreeing is just proof of this

SHUTTER ISLAND: WILL IT SUCK?

^ another good thread FYI

Whenever I think of this movie I just end up singing "Thunder Island" by Jay Ferguson.

i knew i already bitched about this movie somewhere on ilx!

ha ditto

man I hate Ben Kingsley so much. I was talking to a friend who had seen Hugo a while ago, we settled on the idea that the thing that Ben Kingsley is employed by directors to deliver could more efficiently be achieved by just a sustained shot of him standing in a kind of vaudevillian jazz-hands pose & waving a top hat, just beaming anachronistically, spoonfeeding the audience the old time vibe he freelances so reliably.

I feel like this movie just joins a sad canon of post fight club flicks that are clustered together in impotently trying out the shocking reveal denouement like it was something dramatic & new, a comment on our condition. like the machinist or w/e. it'll be like watching Rambo movies to understand how America felt about the war, watching lazy bloated studio pieces cobbled together from dull trends & wondering why these were what we needed to see.

you hate fun. also the score is fantastic.

the machinist much much worse than this fwiw

well sure but that's not saying much

first blood is a masterpiece

Still baffled by Wolf Street--the film, the enthusiasm for it here--I finally took this off the shelf, hoping for a glimmer of...something.

Didn't get it. I have an interpretation, though. Ben Kingsley is Pauline Kael (or the ghost of Kael), Ruffalo is John Cassavetes (or ditto), DiCaprio is Scorsese. All of DiCaprio's fantasies are stand-ins for all the noise of Scorsese's last two decades--the awards, the grandfathered reverence, the best-since-whatever dance. Kingsley/Kael and Ruffalo/Cassavetes are trying the most radical therapy ever, nursing DiCaprio/Scorsese along to a breakthrough moment of acceptance: "I'm lost."

The day that comes when I take Redacted off the shelf to just look for a glimmer of something (or that I'd ever have it on my shelf in the first place) is the day I know I've lost it.

But, no, this movie's cool. Scor's best in the last decade.

take that DVD copy of Redacted and put it where your heart ought to be.

motherfucking distended Twilight Zone

here's your glimmer: DeP communictaes that the USA is the capital of shit in Redacted

You don't glide quite right.

No definitive google results on that line.

I watched this a second time a few weeks back. It plays a bit better now with the knowledge that fucking Hugo was up next, but its still a confused mess--why address the (potentially compelling) trauma of Teddy's wartime experience if the whole thing just turns out to be about his crazy wife?

I'm still not over Ben Kingsley explaining the plot with a chalkboard and a pointer, either.

Probably my favourite OST ever

Yeah - the soundtrack for this was remarkable. Forgot about that (and I own it!)

It's like all my favourite second-tier composers! and Max Richter :/

OP crazy otm tbf

Cryptosicko and Josh: as I watched Kingsley's dreary explanatory scene, Psycho was exactly what I thought of--even wondered if Scorsese was partly parodying the Simon Oakland scene, like De Palma did in Dressed to Kill. Actually, I thought Kingsley and von Sydow were pretty good in this--they at least seem to be having fun. DiCaprio's terrible.

this felt like scorsese wanting to do some kind of absurd OTT project on a whim, just for kicks. Which is nice when you're able to do that on this kind of budget.

I think I read somewhere that Some Kind of Absurd OTT Project on a Whim, Just for Kicks was the working title for his latest.

That was the working title for his never realized SuperHeavy concert film.

I thought of countless Mystery Science Theater 3000 subjects.

"There was no monster."

A duly appointed federal marshal, rescued, alive, well, and of normal size, some 8000 miles away in a lifeboat.

von Sydow having more fun in the McKenzie Brothers movie. And Shame.

soon to be an HBO series! wtf.

http://thedissolve.com/news/3056-shutter-island-series/

Cable TV series are the new Broadway musicals.

Good to know that we've been spared Broadway versions of Fargo and Shutter Island.

looool @ this news

I hope a different insane inmate tries to escape each episode

I dunno... I didn't love the film but a lot of it was because the denouement was so rushed it became preposterous. A whole series set on a strange island could be cool. Maybe they could strip all the characters of names and just give them numbers or something....

The series needs to end with Ben Kingsley explaining things with a chalkboard and a pointer every week.

be seeing you

xp

it's not an either/or thing, wait a decade

suppose this will be like that american horror story season minus the aliens

why would you even make this into a TV series and then waste the brand recognition by giving it a different name

shoulda gone with Shutter Island Rising

The series needs to end with Ben Kingsley explaining things with a chalkboard and a pointer every week.

omfg loooooool

I would like to point out that this is still being shown on airplanes

I think the idea is that you're trapped, and you have to watch it. Just like that Twilight Zone with the monster on the wing.

shitter island morelike

i kept calling my dog ah doolee appointed feduhral mahshull last night and my wife had to tell me to knock it off
