I don't think this is any different than the threads for The Tree of Life or The Master, where lots of can't-waits and this-looks-awfuls were posted based on early trailers. Or different than hundreds of such threads. That's what we do here, right?

Not to change the subject, but did you see this trailer for a film about a voice-over artist for trailers?

Looks a little precious, possibly funny anyway.

it's not really the "subject" so much as the treatment of it. Does anyone do wall street movies that aren't in this exact coke-fueled, shiny with a dark underbelly mode?

just once i want to see a wall street movie where everyone just sits around working in cubicles and having awkward coffee breaks

It seems he has to get it to Paramount by 11/25 for Christmas release. (So the critics group I belong to certainly will not see it before our increasingly ridiculous annual awards deadline.)

does everything hafta be "dark"? I can only laugh at these monsters now, and he does/did pitchblack comedy well (TKoC, Goodfellas).
― eclectic husbandry (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 30 October 2013 14:27 (ten years ago) link
both of those films get sufficiently dark

that trailer makes this look a lot more fun than the first one did. I still don't buy him as the queens boy turned wall street shark. I don't really buy him as anything ever tbh.

still looks like only the big critics groups see it before deadline
Nobody's mentioned who wrote the script, which is kinda important, maybe? Terence Winter, a writer-producer on Boardwalk Empire and The Sopranos, and writer of the 50 Cent vehicle Get Rich or Die Tryin' (which I don't remember existing, and Jim Sheridan directed it).

Saw that one on VH1. This one looks a little more Starz.

Oh boy! Three hours long and Jonah Hill wearing SNL-level makeup? Sold!

martin scorsese has done so many great things for film culture, so for his sake I hope this makes a gazillion dollars
looks awful though. i suppose i could welcome a return to this kind of scorsese film after the soporific hugo but, nah.

this film is amazingly good imo

a super swift 3 hrs, totally debauched as per the advance word, hilarious, great performances. probably dicaprio's best performance too.
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Thursday, 5 December 2013 07:14 (ten years ago) link
certainly dicap's best performance in a Scorsese movie, though that's not partic surprising. He just cuts totally loose, all of his other marty roles have been mind of constricted in some way.
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Thursday, 5 December 2013 07:18 (ten years ago) link
better than anything scorsese's done in the 21st century.
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Thursday, 5 December 2013 07:20 (ten years ago) link
I really hope that's true, though I do actually (sorry!) like Hugo.

"better than anything scorsese's done in the 21st century" is not high praise IMO, but i'll take your word for it

initial "reviews" says it's his best film since GoodFellashttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0993846/board/nest/222806576?p=1

It's his best movie since "Blood on the Tracks."
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 5 December 2013 14:54 (ten years ago) link
I would have to see it again to get a conformation of how it good it actually is but "best since goodfellas" may be otm

Seeing a bunch of excitement on Letterboxd, too. Expectations adjusted.
