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

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.

dude if you're going to come with the challops you're going to have to give us more than "it was bad in several major areas"!

jews did 9/11, peace.

jews did the departed

the jewparted

I didn't even realize that thinking the Departed was weak was a challenging opinion.

Hell it won an Oscar. That pretty much makes it the definition of crap these days.

this is some "if ebert liked it, it must suck!" territory we're entering

I'm actually really curious to see Martin Scorsese's take on psychological horror blah-blah (even though I hated a lot of Cape Fear). I just wish it didn't involve Leonardo as an old-timey detective with a beguiling accent.

Anytime Scorsese and DePalma want to make a mainstream movie I'll check it out - guaranteed a few great set pieces even if miscast people wear funny hats and shit

yeah, I really do not get why these big-name directors love Leo - dude is terrible

But anyway the main reason I didn't like the Departed was that it's got three of my least favorite actors (these days that is--Nicholson was once awesome) in it chewing scenery left and right and two of them are hamming up bad Boston accents the entire time. You've got to work awfully hard to overcome that and Marky Mark shooting dude in the head in the final frame just doesn't cut it for me.

QFT

x-post

two of them are hamming up bad Boston accents the entire time

A friend of mine was writing about Boston accents in movies the other day:

The entire cast of “The Departed.” The natives (Damon, Whalberg) did splendidly of course, Leo did his best and wasn’t totally egregious, the rest of the ensemble bordered between Drunken Kennedys (Baldwin, Sheen), Diane Lane craptacular (the woman shrink, whatsername), and god-awful and getting away with it (Jack, because he’s Jack). All over the map. But then again, actual Boston natives tend to be all over the map accent-wise, so maybe it works.

chewing scenery left and right and two of them are hamming up bad Boston accents the entire time.

my wife and I routinely shout "Are you a KAWP?!" at each other, lolz ensue

I saw that short film The Big Shave on AMC once when I was flipping channels and think dude should just have all of his characters kill themselves with a little orchestral score for like five minutes and then end it

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

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

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+
