So I saw a trailer for this the other day/week.

It made me think "So this is what would have happened if the Titanic landed, and Leo made it to America."

This is not a good thing.

Red headed love interest.

Villian with ridiculous 'tache and top hat combo.

Oh dear.

Let's hope first impressions are very long, and we don't get a 90 minute love story, with a bit of gang fighting at the end.

I want it to be good. But it has a lot of potential for being crap.

What was funny was a set of interviews with the main actors plus Scorsese. Di Caprio went on and on about how "at one" he felt with his role and how this had allowed him to ad-lib like never before. Then in Scorsese's interview he got asked why it had taken so long film, and he mumbled something about actors refusing to learn their lines...

Scorsese generally owns everybody when he makes films about the mafia. The mafia's a gang, and so this could be good. The only problem is that Scorsese's gang movies usually feature Robert de Niro in one of the lead roles, and this one doesn't. And all of Scorsese's De Niro films have been legendary because the guy's such a brilliant actor (I mean he goes from playing a mildly psychotic punk in Taxi Driver to a geeky comedian called Rupert Pudnik (or something similar) in King of Comedy, and is utterly convincing as both.)

Bringing Out the Dead was crap, I didn't really like Kundun, but hopefully this will be a return to form.

Saw this trailer while watching Swimfan.

Looked class. An Irish priest gets stabbed, so more Irish deck Daniel Day-Lewis. And Leo bangs Cameron Diaz on the side somewhere, but no-one cares because of the drunken Irish.

I'd watch that.

I dont want to watch DeCaprio trying to sniff her hair and crying a lot.
I only went to see Titanic on the proviso he died.
Christ...I'd forgotten how much I hate that movie.

As long as it's more violence than Leo being girly trying to touch Cameron Diaz's red hair.

Maybe if she dances in pants and kicks both Leo and Daniel Day Lewis in the face it will be good.

I heard of this film like last year or something, I was sure it'd either been released and slipped by me, or it had been cancelled

It's Scorcese doing gang-related violence movie. This will be good.
Except it's almost 3hrs long, and has DeCaprio being a little girl in it.

And Daniel Day Lewis, who's almost as poncy as Ralph Fiennes.
But it has violence and dirty gangs.

Might be ok.

for 'long' read 'wrong'.

I'm poorly at home today, and wrapped in a duvet.
