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

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

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

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.

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

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
