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

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

But even if you think its better than original, it's still a incredibly lame movie.

nah, it's true, IA is pretty corny and inconsistent and has that dumbass way it tries to get around how the two leads wouldn't recognize each other (i.e. both of them apparently having had insane plastic surgery between their academy days and the present). it's still good and the acting is awesome, though, don't get me wrong. but IA 2 tramples all over it (and possibly tramples all over the departed as well).

Agree that IA2 >>> IA >>> Departed.

no way it owned

it was the first movie of his since goodfellas that i would characterize as a crowd pleaser

lemme quote this michael mann article from the public enemies thread

One former studio chairman told me that he can imagine what the movie’s problems are without having seen it, based on Mann’s previous work. “It’s going to take itself too seriously, it’s going to be way too long and it will not focus on entertaining the audience,” he says. “Michael Mann, in the past 15 years, has not made one movie I’ve liked.”

the departed was focused on entertaining the audience, not like that lame gay WAVE OF THE FUTURE shit or the fukkin gangs of jew york

never saw IA2 tho

that former studio chairman obv didn't see "homie is that my briefcase?"

"it was the first movie of his since goodfellas that i would characterize as a crowd pleaser"

Too bad it was so badly acted, written, conceived, etc. . .

ahahaha omar YES!!! that is basically my fav movie moment of the 00's

Pretty sure I won't be trusting anonymous studio execs opinions on movies, but I do generally agree with that assessment of Michael Mann who I pretty much can't stand.

i agree with it completely even tho i like mann a lot

I was just telling someone how I never comment on film threads because they intimidate the hell out of me but I just have to say

homie is that my briefcase?

<3<3

Also, The Departed was great.

i like or love all of those mann flicks which fall within that period but obv they're never gonna rake in $200 million. that studio exec still sounds like the kind of dude who greenlights horrendous crap though.

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.

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

i paraphrased this post to my roommate the other night and we both laughed about it for like ten minutes. an hour or two later, through her door, she was still periodically bursting into cackles over it. A+
