You really should give Leo a chance, I used to hate him because of Titanic but he's really a good actor.

30. i like leo in catch me if you can, a lot ! it suited him, but
him and cameron (who's okay by men) were a weird too modern/ cute combo for gangs. it just seemed wrong to me. could not suspend my disbelief for a minute.
titanic soooo grossed me out, so corny!
and a whole generation of kids have hurt themselves trying to grab on to a damp car window while doing the nasty!!! let me give you a tip, not the window, and not the door handle, either!
LOL! dumbest movie ever.

33. I wish Marty Scrocese had made that movie when he originally planned to
I would have loved to see Bobby Deniro play Amnsterdam Vallon then again, I thought Liam Neeson was good as Priest Vallon and Daniel Day-Lewis was very evil as Bill the Butcher. Heh, speaking of doing the nasty, I plan to do it traditionally, hey I am traditional, I dont do pot, I drink alcohol.

41. The only film I've seen with her
is Pearl Harbor. God what an awful flick.

It's funny about Leanardo DiCaprio. I used to just hate him, but since he was such a big Kerry supporter, I just can't despise him as much. Plus, I thought he did a decent enough job in Catch me if you can and Gangs of New York.

BTW, I didn't know that DeNiro was supposed to be in that. That would have made things interesting. I just saw GoodFellas a few days ago, so I would have liked to have seen another Scorcee/DeNiro match up.

I love Goodfellas, its one of my favorites. Its funny because it made me wanna be a gangster sorta lol even though its about the rise and fall of one, I got the book Wiseguy which is the basis.

42. i remember there was a teen who made a rape joke.
it got locked, but he had another thread asking how many people he could offend.
i said you are never going to know since your thread got locked.
i got jumped on, pm'd by people telling me he was a teen. so, i was like, okay, teenagers can also speak for themselves, apologise, etc.
i got five emails defending him. sooo weird. when i just did one mild post to his thread.
i thought it was a little over protective.

19. hmmmm how weird
No leo doesnt get the long ass fingernails. The film ranges from 1927, the beginning of the making of "Hell's Angels" to 1948 when he's testifying before the Brewster committee, I correctly ided senator brewster as a republican and according to wikipedia, he was a friend of Red Joe McCarthy.

37. I believe it was Aristotle who said with every genius there is a touch of
a madness. With what I saw tonight, I certainly believe that to be true. BTW the guy Alec Baldwin plays, Juan Trippe, Baldwin looks one hell of a lot like him.

The corrupt senator, Brewster Ive now learned was a pal of McCarthy and a right winger.

52. it's not in ny is it? it was in this evil movie called the last seduction
very twisted film noir, the woman hides in reston, ny
while she plots to bump off her husband whose money she has stolen.
i remember she called it a cow town, and it's supposed to be 100 miles from buffalo.
you don't know a wendy croy, do you? stay away! she's evil!!
